With this, we offer a wide variety of self-development training programs along with diverse human capital development programs to enhance expertise and provide support in obtaining certifications and in improving management capabilities and other skills.

Activities / Efforts
Enhancement of “Human Skills” and “Specialization”
We are advancing training programs focused on “human skills” to help individuals develop a well-rounded set of capabilities—encompassing mind, skill, and body—in a balanced manner.
Through these programs, we aim to instill a broad perspective and cultivate individuals who are not just technically proficient but also socially and culturally informed.
Boosting Productivity through Online and On-Demand Training
We have implemented online and on-demand training modules that can be accessed at the convenience of the employees.
Promotion of Action Learning
We are focused on translating classroom learning into actionable insights in the workplace. Through a cycle of experiential learning that includes experience, introspection, conceptualization, and application, we aim to convert acquired knowledge into meaningful behavioral changes.
Development of Digital Human Capital through DX Academia
DX Academia is a systematized form of digital education that aims to develop human capital who use digital technologies and data to improve productivity and create new value. We will provide a comprehensive learning environment for purposes ranging from improving the literacy of all employees to developing human capital who promote DX.
“Wellness-Oriented” Training Centers
Common conversation space: Designed with wood and plants
We have integrated biophilic design elements into our training spaces to create an environment that not only lowers stress but also enhances focus and well-being through interaction with natural elements.

Executive-Employee Interviews
To ensure the well-being of employees stationed at remote worksites, promote interactions between employees and executives, and boost employee morale, our executives engage in one-on-one interviews with team members.
Meister System
Aimed at preserving and passing down technical know-how, we have instituted a “Meister System.” Under this system, individuals with robust experience and demonstrable technical aptitude are appointed as “Meisters,” who then provide hands-on coaching at worksites.
Development of Global Human Capital
We are also making efforts to develop global human capital, such as by conducting training to improve foreign language proficiency and to facilitate an understanding of different cultures, as well as training at overseas worksites. Other initiatives include sending employees to graduate schools and other companies both in Japan and overseas.
In particular, the departments in charge of overseas businesses are independently promoting the reinforcement of “human capital” development, through the following training programs.
Training key personnel for overseas projects
Taisei Corporation works to train key personnel who will be involved in overseas projects.
We have established a Personnel Training Policy and Personnel Training Organization and conduct training in the areas of job skills, communication skills and management skills, to ensure that employees are able to use their specialist skills and knowledge in conducting construction business overseas. Diverse training that includes studying abroad at universities in foreign countries and being dispatched to other companies fosters a global outlook on the part of employees and improves their capabilities.
