    Up to FYE 03/20, all Group employees (including contract employees) were included. From FYE 03/21 onward, part-time employees were also included. The reason why the number of participants in the training decreased in FYE 03/24 is that we did not conduct the compliance training that was mandatory for all employees with e-learning. Instead, we conducted training (face-to-face and virtual meeting) for some of our employees whilst focusing on specific issues.
