Mitsui & Co. Group believe that to ensure steady implementation of the management strategy and human resources strategy, it is important to build a cycle in which individual employees associate such strategies with the tasks they are working on and understand the purpose of the strategies for the sustainable enhancement of corporate value.

In order to properly execute this cycle, we position employee engagement as an important management indicator to measure the effect of human resources strategy, and conduct the Mitsui Engagement Survey (MES) as a tool to address organizational issues.

To ensure the objectivity and transparency of the survey, it is conducted in such a way in which subjects directly respond to an external company entrusted with the survey service anonymously. This survey is conducted on the entire Mitsui & Co. Group once a year (optional for affiliated companies). MES includes causal category questions that strongly affect employee engagement and employee enablement, as well as questions unique to Mitsui & Co. The results of MES are analyzed at regional and organizational levels, and then action plans are formulated accordingly, in which employees utilize the results of the survey for organization development with a sense of responsibility at each work place. At the same time, since management members also play important roles such as the formulation of human resources strategy and the review of measures through analysis and deliberation on the results of Executive Committee meetings, year-on-year changes in the ratio of positive responses to questions regarding employee engagement and employee enablement are used as one of the evaluation elements in the remuneration system for Directors (excluding External Directors).

At Mitsui & Co. Group, we utilize the results of MES in initiatives for the improvement of employee engagement, and as a result, we will achieve sustainable enhancement of corporate value.
