Promotion of Well-being Policies
Employee Happiness Survey
Takara Leben, whose vision is "THINK HAPPINESS AND MAKE THE HAPPINESS." believes that increasing employee happiness is important for improving corporate value, and conducted a happiness survey of its employees in October 2022. Well-being refers to a state in which one is physically, mentally, and socially all fulfilled, and the importance of well-being has been highlighted in Goal 3 of the SDGs, as well as in terms of securing human resources and maintaining and improving economic vitality.
The Happiness Survey measures and quantifies the current level of employee happiness. We set KPIs by understanding and analyzing "the level of happiness" and "which items are sufficient or insufficient" of our employees, as well as examining future measures.
We will continue to conduct happiness surveys, promote strategic personnel affairs and optimal allocation of human resources to enhance employee happiness, and strengthen the system building associated with the change to a holding company.
Employee Personnel Interviews
In order to improve the working environment and workplace environment, and to create an environment where employees want to work for the company forever, Takara Leben conducts personnel interviews with all employees.
We collect information to reduce overtime hours, and by understanding employees' career plans, we consider improvement measures and aim to build a relationship in which employees feel comfortable discussing these issues with us.
Takara Leben Realnet is also working to improve the workplace environment by conducting personnel interviews with all employees and starting to operate a training system based on employees' opinions and requests.
Return to Employees
Takara Leben implemented a base salary increase of 2.5% on average in FY2023 in order to cope with the historic price increase and to attract, demonstrate, and activate diverse and talented human resources, who are the source of our competitiveness and lead to increased productivity. We will continue to create an environment in which employees can work and live with peace of mind, thereby improving employee engagement and strengthening Takara Leben's corporate competitiveness.

We are promoting initiatives to listen to the voices of our employees in order to realize a better work environment.
50th Anniversary Event
On September 21, 2022, the anniversary of its founding, Takara Leben held the Takara Leben Group 50th Anniversary Party as its 50th anniversary event. Aiming to make the event "a day filled with much appreciation and excitement, a day to strengthen the sense of unity that has been nurtured over the past 50 years since the company's founding, and a day to make a fresh start toward the future," a variety of programs were implemented. A total of more than 1,200 employees and unofficial employees of group companies participated in the event, deepening communication among employees in preparation for the holding company structure.
In October, we held a "50th Anniversary Celebration - From Takara Leben to MIRARTH HOLDINGS" to which we invited approximately 800 business partners who have shared and supported Takara Leben's growth over the past 50 years. We expressed our gratitude for the past and introduced the new structure of MIRARTH HOLDINGS.
Introduction of 1 on 1 System
One of the seven pillars of Takara Leben's new medium-term management plan is to "develop human resources and create a rewarding work environment." In order to build a better working environment by promoting communication between supervisors and subordinates, we conduct "1 on 1" meetings where supervisors and subordinates meet on a regular basis to discuss open topics. By providing opportunities for dialogue every other week, we aim to avoid miscommunication, promote mutual understanding, and build trust.
Company-wide Morning Meeting and Survey
Since June 2022, Leben Clean Energy has held monthly company-wide morning meetings led by the president for the purpose of sharing the company's direction. In order to help identify and improve questions and concerns raised at that time, a questionnaire is sent to all employees, and the president provides feedback on opinions and questions as appropriate.
Expansion of MIRARTH NOTE
The MIRARTH Group operates an intra-group website, MIRARTH NOTE, to promote information sharing and communication that leads to "maximization of group synergy." MIRARTH NOTE has a function to share information on each company's initiatives and releases among group companies, and to obtain up-to-date information useful for improving operational efficiency, such as manuals and bulletin boards.
In FY2022, the company disseminated the progress of the 50th anniversary project and release the 50th anniversary history to the public, and with the change of holding on October 1, the design was redesigned with a sophisticated MIRARTH-inspired look.
In addition, with the aim of creating a website that contributes to strengthening cooperation among group companies, we regularly distribute video interviews and dialogues with management members as "Top Voice."
