How personal information is handled

We are fully aware of our social obligation to protect all of the personal information that we handle in our personnel development and human resources consulting work, and we adhere to laws and regulations concerning the protection of an individual’s rights and personal information. To realize the policy, we have built a Personal Information Protection Management System. We constantly watch the latest trends in information technology, changes in social demands, and changes in the business environment, and we pledge to make a companywide effort to continuously improve this personal information protection management system.
