Educational activities within the company

Better employee education

Employee education

• All employees
  Kirin holds on the job training and on-line training sessions so that its employees, as members of a company that produces alcoholic beverages, are able to learn about responsible drinking and better discuss it in the workplace. We also conduct a drinking habits screening test (AUDIT) to provide opportunities to reflect on personal alcohol use.

• Employees at specific levels

  • New employee training
    As a manufacturer of alcoholic beverages, Kirin encourages its employees to learn and be aware of the basics of responsible drinking.
  • New manager training
    These programs encourage workplace leaders to become knowledgeable about responsible drinking and spread that information to their organizations.

Rigorous employee alcohol testing

The Kirin Group obligates employees who drive vehicles for work or commuting to be tested by alcohol detectors. Employees who drive vehicles for sales or distribution or who commute by car are loaned alcohol sensors and prohibited from driving if a value of "more than 0.00%" is detected before they get in the car. Likewise, transportation companies commissioned with Kirin distribution services are required to rigorously test drivers for alcohol. Under the Rules of Employment, employees found to have engaged in drunk driving, whether on or off the job, are subject to strict disciplinary action, including dismissal.
