We are continuing our efforts to achieve the target through various measures and initiatives, or to exceed the current level at the very least. In cases where it is difficult to provide or compute specific targets in a quantitative manner, we show them as null (“-”).

We regularly hold the Simplex Biz Day /Week and the Simplex Tech Day, which are cross-departmental training sessions. The top-tier employees make reports and presentations to share the business prospects of our clients and market trends, and introduce practices in project management and the latest technologies through these cross-departmental internal training sessions. These session programs are planned and conducted by Competency Lead, which is a cross-departmental organization.

The breakdown is AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Applied Information Technology Engineer Examination, etc.

The tallied information about business-related qualifications is described regarding AWS Certification which is a certified qualification implemented by Amazon Web Service (AWS) , and the Information Technology Engineer Examination (including the Registered Information Security Specialist) implemented by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA). The number of AWS certified qualifications acquired within our Group has reached 300. In recognition to this achieveent, we were certified with the AWS 300 APN Certification Distinction in February 2023.

We have aggregated the total training hours for individuals who participated in training programs such as pre-employment training, new employee orientation, technical and job-specific training for employees after a certain length of service, as well as paid online learning platforms available to all employees. This total training time is represented in parentheses as the training hours per person, calculated by dividing it by the year-end headcount of 1,047 employees.

Annual paid leave is granted based on January 1 each year. The information above is a record of the achievement for the calendar year 2022.

This figure has been calculated pursuant to the provisions of the Act on the Promotion of Women’s Active Engagement in Professional Life (Act No. 64 of 2015).

The number of consultants and engineers includes the counts of external contractors who are engaged in the operations of our Group as despatched workers, as well as those who are subcontracted or employed by our business partners and working within our office environment.

Numbers are computed by “Sales revenues ÷ average number of consultants and engineers” and “Sales revenues ÷ (average number of consultants and engineers minus Term contractors),” respectively.
