For Establishing a Comfortable Work Environment
Creativity is stimulated in a comfortable work environment. A climate with a spirit of challenging
to create new ideas without worrying about failure is important. Tamron wishes to support each
and every employee so we can grow together and enrich all of our relationships with society. |

At Tamron, we pursue many possibilities
by supplying our customers with eyes for
industry. All of our new employees receive
business training designed to help them
reach their potential capacity and further
enrich it, while observing and respecting
congeniality and individuality. Our skill
development includes OJT (on-the-job
training) courses prepared for differing
job categories, specialized educational
courses designed to educate on the
basic theories in each field, and courses
to provide basic education for nurturing
newcomers as future candidates for
managers and specialists. In addition,
Tamron provides multi-faceted educational
programs including courses designed to
train groups of employees at a variety of
levels as well as job rotation programs for
middle management employees.

About 30% of new employees who are
recent graduates quit their first jobs
within three years. At Tamron, however,
we strive hard to bring this turnover down
to 13%. Of the 119 recent graduates
who joined Tamron during the five years
from 2002 to 2006, only 12 left, which
means we exceeded our target with
only approximately 10% leaving. We
accomplished this by enhancing our work
environment and improving our systems for
handling human affairs. One example is our
establishment of a consultation office for
new graduates, for listening to them and
advising them. We also have accelerated
promotion where we select employees who
are ready for early promotion, enabling
us to provide opportunities for junior
staff. Opportunities to learn to coach are
provided to experienced staff members in
order to prevent them from leaving too.

In order to ensure proper management
of a safe and healthy work environment,
Tamron works hard to prevent
occupational accidents, establishing
and maintaining a safe and healthy work
environment, in compliance with related
laws and regulations as well as Tamron’s
own work regulations.
Specifically, Tamron enacted Safety
& Health Management Regulations,
established our Safety & Health
Committee, and created our Occupational
Safety & Health Patrol Program in order to ensure occupational safety and health
management. In addition, opportunities to
take training courses for cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation and first aid treatment for
injuries, including those from fire, are
provided to employees every year in order
to address and minimize disaster.
There were two occupational accidents in
2006 and two in 2005. As for accidents
while commuting, we achieved our zero
accident goal for the first time in 2006,
as targeted at the beginning of the year.

Three years have passed since I came to
Tamron. When I first arrived, I immediately
felt that Tamron provided an atmosphere
with comfortable contact with other
employees. I still clearly remember the
friendly atmosphere of group work with
fellow members who joined in the same
year. I was impressed with the training
program that was designed very well,
enabling us to participate and create
something by ourselves, while enjoying
working with fellow members. I could enrich
my communications skills while reviewing
situations I was put in. I'm confident that
the associations I established with fellow
members is of great help in my present
job.
