Policy and Basic Approach

We will develop talent who will increase corporate value by balancing the pursuit of profit with contributions to social development. After introducing an engagement survey and understanding and analyzing the current issues, we redefined the specific profile of talents we are looking for. At the same time, as a first step to change the conventional seniority-based HR system to a performance-based system, we shifted the managers’ evaluation system to a job-based one. Consistent with system reforms, we will build a training system that nurtures the talents we desire.

Structure & System

In line with the type of human resources we are looking for, we have concretely defined the ideal attitudes and behaviors (competencies) required of each employee, and are working to organize the knowledge and skills necessary to realize such changes in attitudes and behaviors. Going forward, we will identify development issues for each and every employee through personnel evaluations and assessments. We will then build a new system that incorporates training programs that meet the needs of the individual. In order to accelerate these strategies, we established the Human Resources Development Department under the HR and Administrative Division on June 1, 2023, and began activities.

Expanding Talent Development Model to All Levels

Competencies are clearly defined and made transparent based on the organizational hierarchy, enabling employees to comprehend the expected level and content. Highly transparent human resources are achieved through personnel evaluations and promotion screenings based on these competencies. When promoting a candidate for next-generation senior management roles or elevating them to senior positions, an external organization carries out an assessment. We have introduced a model that clarifies issues and allows the Company and employees to work together to improve them. This model will be rolled out to all levels of the Company.
