■KPIs and Progress
Assessment:Achieved / Steady Progress Not Achieved
| KPI | FY2023 Results/Progress | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Implement initiatives to revitalize people and organizations | We conduct employee awareness surveys and actively incorporate employee feedback to create rewarding work environments. At the same time, we also strive to revitalize the entire organization by improving our education programs and introducing new training programs to support employee growth. |
|
| Increase annual leave utilization rate: 80% or more in fiscal 2023 |
The annual leave utilization rate improved to 85.3%, higher than the previous fiscal year, thanks to our ongoing efforts to create a work environment that encourages employees to take vacation days and to provide more days where employees are encouraged to take leave. Moving forward, we will continue to take actions to encourage employees to take more vacation. |
|
| Maintain and improve hiring rate for persons with disabilities: 2.3% or more in fiscal 2023 |
In fiscal 2023, employees with disabilities comprised 2.59% of our total number of employees (total including special subsidiaries). We will continue to maintain and improve the hiring rate for persons with disabilities through actively providing support and rolling out measures to enable persons with disabilities to lead fulfilling social lives. |
|
| Reduce serious occupational accidents: 0.70 or less accidents (four days or more of lost work time) per 1,000 workers in fiscal 2023 |
In fiscal 2023, the annual rate was 0.96 per 1,000 employees. With solemn consideration for the accidents that have occurred, we constantly strive to improve our health and safety management system and prevent occupational accidents by improving the effectiveness of our risk assessments and enhancing the ability of employees to investigate the causes of accidents. |
|
| Initiatives for health promotion: Cancer screenings for 70% of employees or more in fiscal 2023 |
The screening rate for fiscal 2023 decreased from the previous year (78.1%) to 68.8%. Screenings are typically for JX Advanced Metals employees, with effects evident year after year. However, the overall screening rate declined in fiscal 2023 due to the absorption of companies not subject to such measures. We will continue such measures (e.g., regular health checkups and physical examinations that also include cancer screenings, follow-ups from the health consultation offices at the head office and other locations, and distribution of leaflets recommending cancer screening) to raise health awareness among employees and increase screening rates. |
