Talent Development through Skill Maps, Training and Multiskilling

「The group’s human-resource strategy is built on 4 pillars: “optimal allocation of human resources through the transfer of technical knowledge and skills,” “DX and productivity improvement,” “development of next-generation leaders” and “higher engagement.”」

「In addition to ordinary support for obtaining qualifications, the company has established a working professional doctorate programme for employees who wish to acquire more advanced expertise, thereby encouraging employees to obtain skills and expertise lacking in the organisation. It has also established allowances for outstanding specialists and engineers based on 4 skill and technical levels, and built a personnel system that reflects the development and acquisition of new skills and technologies in compensation.」

「Specifically, to help acquired talent develop the skills required and maximize their capabilities, the company promotes development using skills maps aimed at acquiring the capabilities and specialized knowledge required for each workplace and job function, as well as external training to support each employee’s autonomous career development. It also provides training for the development of next-generation management talent and technical training led by directors. At manufacturing sites, the company develops specialists focused on a single job function and promotes multiskilling among employees who already possess the necessary skills. In terms of knowledge, it encourages employees to take the Production Meister certification examination.」
