Overall Disclosure Profile
Foster Electric Company,Limited combines overseas plant training for new employees, overseas programs for younger and mid-level personnel, and development of next-generation management personnel to support global audio product development and manufacturing. Since 2011, in-house technical courses have recorded more than 5,600 attendances, including repeat participation, and previous courses are available through videos. Specific systems support employees' career choices, secondary employment, flexible working, and balancing work with childcare or caregiving.
However, course participant numbers are distinct from capability acquisition, while specialist capability holdings and practical usage volumes are not sufficiently presented. The positive response rate for engagement is disclosed, but explanations of the questions are limited. Operational efficiency from flexible working is described only qualitatively, and the degree of improvement cannot be identified. In addition, inconsistencies remain between notes on the formula and eligible population for men taking childcare leave.

Assessment Scope & Disclaimer
This assessment is based solely on information disclosed in the company's Japanese-language Annual Securities Report filed through EDINET.
It does not assess the human capital initiatives a company actually implements or the company's human capital capabilities themselves.
Items for which no disclosure was identified in the Annual Securities Report receive no points, regardless of whether the company actually implements the relevant initiatives.
This English-language assessment is a translation of the original Japanese assessment and is provided for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy, the Japanese assessment prevails.
