The driving force behind improved corporate value is the workforce. To foster staff that thoroughly pursue customer satisfaction, Matsuya Foods has established a system based on a medium- and long-term perspective that takes into account both the wishes of the individual staff and their carrier planning. Through our varied educational program, training in strategic thinking and first-rate hospitality is further strengthened. A unique training program for part-time workers has also been introduced to enhance their skills. Matsuya Foods currently makes untiring efforts to train every employee to be a food professional in their field and offer high-quality customer satisfaction (CS). In addition, our positive efforts are being made to improve employee satisfaction (ES) through activities including a seminar newly established to care for the mental health of younger employees.
