Macnica (headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter referred to as Macnica) is pleased to announce that it has won the Grand Prize (Large Corporation Division) in the Management Transformation category ^{* 2} of the Career Ownership Management AWARD 2024 ^{* 1}.

■Reasons for winning the award (Judges' comments)
The company has thoroughly created an organizational culture that encourages employees to take on challenges, along with the uniqueness of its measures, such as the all-participation process that leads to the establishment of Our Group's Purpose 's purpose, measures such as the "response cycle," and unique management that evaluates the processes and challenges of its members. The way in which this culture has naturally taken root was a source of empathy. In addition, the company was also praised for its continued efforts to send out CEO messages at least three times a month, and for conducting large-scale interviews with existing employees by new recruits that go beyond typical onboarding, creating opportunities for existing employees to think about their own careers. We look forward to seeing the company make even greater social impact as a model company for human capital management.

■ Overview of the initiative
At Macnica, we aim to become a truly competitive company by supporting the job satisfaction and growth of each and every employee while striving to realize the company's future vision. We have set the following three keywords as the keys to encouraging the autonomous growth of our human resources.

・Feeling Cycle
This is a cycle of promotion and development of human resources that emphasizes "results," in which employees grow by making and executing their own plans, accumulating experience both of success and failure, and gaining confidence to take on bigger challenges.
Managers are expected to trust their subordinates and delegate tasks to them, actively support their subordinates in their challenges, and manage in a way that maximizes their motivation.

・Core Value: "TEAMS"
These are common values that unite all employees and generate the energy to open up the future.
We aim to achieve high-level teamwork while valuing each individual, by trusting and respecting each other, creating an environment where people can freely express their opinions regardless of their status or position, and continuing to grow by taking on big jobs.

・Process evaluation
We place more importance on attitude and process than results, and have built a system that allows people to take on challenges without fear of failure.

Future Initiatives
Macnica will continue to promote Our Group's Purpose and human capital management based on the premise that "everything is about people, it begins and ends with people," and will strive to be a company where each and every employee can provide high value to society, based on the motto of its cherished corporate culture of "open, fair and simple" and "cheerful, fun and energetic."
