Responding to Employee Expectations
Based on our long experience expanding in overseas markets, we understand that growing hand-in-hand with our employees is necessary to solving these issues. As our newest manufacturing base, Cambodia is no exception to this approach. New employees hired at the Cambodia plant enjoy extensive training. We not only teach them technical skills, but patiently nurture the mindset they will need to succeed as company employees.
It's also important to respond to employees' expectations of the company. This ensures that employee motivation remains high and helps to foster company loyalty. We actively create opportunities for communication with employees, listen thoroughly to their problems and concerns, and implement various measures to address these problems.
As one measure, we offer employees schooling. Many employees who have not graduated from school have a strong desire to continue their education, and in response we started this initiative. To advance this initiative, we also started offering Cambodian, math, and English lessons on Sundays. Even though participation is voluntary, the classes are filled each week and some employees even attend after working a night shift.
We are also striving to improve the quality of life for our employees by offering comprehensive facilities, such as dormitories and employee cafeterias. A new dormitory is under construction to further improve the quality of life. In these and other ways, we are taking meticulous measures to not only raise employee skills, but to foster a workforce with high motivation and loyalty to Minebea.

I'm really enjoying the Sunday school because it helps me to improve my English and math skills, which I need to make calculations and communicate in my job. I usually work the night shift, but I discussed the classes with my line supervisor so that I could take part. I'm very pleased and fortunate to have an opportunity to gain these skills while working. I plan to continue studying hard so that I can work in administrative and other positions in the future.
Appreciation for Company Programs
Mr. Phoung Makara (Instructor)
The students are putting their hearts into learning at the school. I'm creating the curriculum with Minebea and arranging the lessons to meet varying levels among the students. I can see a clear improvement since we began the classes. The creation of not only jobs but also educational opportunities is very important to the future of both the employees and Cambodian society as a whole. We're very grateful to Minebea.
