JGC Council
The JGC Group recognizes that the development of each company and the improvement of employees’ lives are closely linked, and believes it is necessary to deepen mutual trust and cooperation by having all executives and employees discuss and consult on issues together. Based on this idea, the former JGC Japan Corporation established the JGC Council instead of a labor union. Even after transitioning to a holding company structure, the four engineering-related companies have fostered a culture of close cooperation between council members-selected from all employees including managers-and company management at the JGC Council, where they discuss and consult on management, systems, procedures, and employee life issues.
The JGC Council consists of the Central Council, a forum for direct dialogue between management and employees, and four Specialized Committees (Compensation, Well-being, Work Styles, Career Development), where each committee engages in deep discussions on their respective issues while maintaining continuity.
Central Council
Each engineering-related company’s unique issues are thoroughly discussed at their respective Central Councils. Additionally, with the transition to a holding company structure in 2019, personnel systems and major regulations and procedures have been standardized to maintain talent exchange among the four companies, and the Cross-Company Central Council is held as a forum for discussing common issues.
Main discussion themes
- The need to maintain a gentle and warm communication attitude to further strengthen mutual trust and unity between management and employees
- Results and challenges of the pure holding company structure
- Measures to improve company performance (integration of overseas subsidiaries, project order decisions, etc.)
- Expansion of non-EPC business, investment policy for new businesses, resource allocation
- Diversification of management members and other ideal forms, etc.
Special Committee
The Specialized Committees were previously composed of three committees: “Compensation,” “Operations,” and “Welfare,” but in response to changing times and diverse employee needs, they were reorganized in 2024 into four committees: “Compensation,” “Well-being,” “Work Styles,” and “Career Development.” We are continuously working to build a system that enables deeper discussion of timely themes in each field.
