However, due to the increased complexity of the management structure and other factors, the Group could not selectively focus on key businesses and services faster than the pace of changes in the business environment. As a result, the Group was unable to quickly generate synergies.<br /><br />In light of this situation, LY Corporation took the merger as an opportunity to create a new mission: "Create an amazing life platform that brings WOW! to our users." To this end, the Company will promote a product-driven growth strategy, aiming to achieve unparalleled product-driven excellence.<br />Having a competitive advantage in the internet business is essentially derived from the ability to generate innovative services and products, which is underpinned by the employees of a company. Therefore, establishing a cycle in which employees can work energetically and create outstanding services and products is a top priority for LY Corporation.<br />The Company upholds the concept of "connecting people with business to maximize the performance of human capital and organizations" as the cornerstone of its human resources strategy so that employees can maximize their performance and contribute to improving the organization's growth. Specifically, the two main pillars are "reinforcing human capital" and "fostering a unique culture." The first pillar in particular is also positioned as one of the Company's materiality issues. In addition, while differences in culture, systems, and the environment among group companies were a strength before the merger, it did not generate a sense of unity for the Group. Thus, by also upholding the second pillar, the Company aims to create its own unique culture that will contribute to realizing its mission.</p><p class="c-body">The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, CEO, monitors each of these initiatives to ensure that the human resources strategy will lead to the realization of the Company's mission. The results of each metric and target are reported on <a class="c-link" href="/en/sustainability/management/#anc4">this page</a>.</p><p class="c-body">Human Capital Strategy Overview</p><p class="c-body"><img src="https://www.lycorp.co.jp/en/sustainability/PerformanceMaximization_en%20%281%29.png" alt="" width="" height="" class="asset asset-image" style="max-width:100%;height:auto;display:block"/></p><p class="c-body"><strong>Reinforcing Human Capital</strong><br />(1) Growth Promotion Measures In order to accelerate LY Corporation's selective focus on its key businesses and speed up business growth, the most important issue that it must address is to promote and support the growth of employees.</p><table class="c-table" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Priority Areas</td> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Direction of Measures</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Human capital development</td> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Provide opportunities to improve skills and knowledge, including reskilling, through various training and e-learning programs to support the growth of each employee.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Evaluation/promotion & salary review</td> <td style="width: 49.9018%;">Introduce an evaluation system to visualize the performance of people and departments and link it to further growth.
