Social Initiatives
Our company is aiming to be an attractive organization chosen by Japanese and overseas partners. We recogniaze human resources as indispensable and important assets for creating value through active collaboration. The SKY Perfect JSAT Group has set up working environment and in-house systems to ensure that all of our employees can work safely and securely. We are committed to the growth and performance of each individual.
Targets, KPI, and Results related to Society
The SKY Perfect JSAT Group is working towards "Active participation of diverse human resources" by 2030. We have set long-term KPIs in the form of labor productivity, ratio of female managers, and engagement indicators. Every year, we set achievement targets which include the percentage of men taking childcare leave and the number of employees who undergo legally-required medical checkups and stress checks. The average days of male childcare leave was 53.5 days, which was 60.0% as of the end of fiscal 2023.
Strengthening of Human Capital
In order to strengthen human capital, we are working on two pillars: the Human Resources Strategy, which actively invests human capital in the focus areas in both the space and media business segments, and the Strengthening of Engagement, which enables human resources to demonstrate their capabilities.
・Initiative policy of SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, “Human Resources Strategy“ and “Strengthening of Engagement“, linked to strengthening of human capital.
Human Resources Strategy
In our Human Resource Strategy, we seek individuals who can respond to changes in the environment and become the driving force for transformation, growth, and improvement. Under our Human Resources Development Policy of "Unleash and maximize the capabilities of each employee that will contribute to our services," we focus on hiring and developing the desired talent, as well as actively deploying individuals to key areas and promoting high performers early to maximize individual performance and improve productivity.
As part of this initiative, we revised our Human Resources System in April 2023. The new Human Resources System aims to create growth opportunities tailored to the tasks and skills of our group employees, leading to talent management and optimal human resource allocation. It facilitates job-based hiring that allows for assignments across organizations and levels and separates roles from ranks to promote agile talent recruitment.
<Examples of Specific Initiatives>
● Implementation of Hierarchical Training According to Career Stages
After joining the company, we provide regular hierarchical training following the new employee training, offering opportunities for skill enhancement.
● Training Program that Values Autonomy
We have established a system to support employee growth, offering reimbursement for TOEIC and company-designated qualification exam fees, as well as providing incentives.
● Overseas Study Program
Aiming to cultivate future executive candidates with advanced expertise and a global perspective, we conduct internal recruitment for study abroad candidates among young and mid-level employees and send them to overseas graduate schools.

We believe that “The creation of a safe and secure organization" requires mutual respect and an environment of psychological safety. Under our health management policy of "Maintaining employees' physical and mental health, maximizing performance, and enhancing productivity," we will work towards realizing diverse working styles that align with individual lifestyles, as well as maintaining and improving the mental and physical health of each employee.
To achieve diverse working styles, we aim to create an environment that promotes diversity through the improvement of the internal environment, the advancement of women and seniors, and the expansion of career recruitment. We strive for a state where the abilities of each employee are fairly evaluated and treated, regardless of external differences such as nationality and internal differences in values.
