Development and promotion of global talent to advance diversity

「In addition, we established a new Global Human Resources Division and are creating an environment in which each employee can maximise their capabilities, transcending national and regional boundaries.」

「To this end, we will develop a “personnel system that rewards clear roles and the results produced,” including a global personnel system.」

「In addition to appointing overseas talent as executive officers, in Japan we will operate the new personnel system for general-track employees following its introduction for managers, renew the education framework, and expand the promotion of diverse talent from a diversity perspective.」

「We regard initiatives relating to talent as the most important issue in strengthening our management foundation and will create an environment in which all employees participate in efforts to take on challenges and drive transformation, enabling us to implement our growth strategy. For managers, we introduced promotion assessments using a job-based personnel system and external assessments.」

「To promote diversity, we have appointed women and foreign nationals as outside directors and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members, ensuring a balanced approach to management decision-making by the Board of Directors. We have also appointed a person responsible for creating an environment in which women can work comfortably and thrive, and are continuing to consider operating systems and programmes to build a foundation for developing talent capable of creating diverse corporate value over the medium to long term.」

「Under the spirit of “One Kansai,” we will accelerate the development and promotion of global talent with a strong customer focus through talent management suited to the globalisation of our business and the promotion of diversity.」
