The Keiyo Bank set a target of more than 60 mid-career hires under its 3-year medium-term plan starting in fiscal 2024 and has already achieved it. Half of the hires came from other industries, as the bank continues to secure personnel who can apply knowledge and networks gained in their previous careers.
The Keiyo Bank set a target of more than 60 mid-career hires under its 3-year medium-term management plan starting in fiscal 2024 and achieved the initial target. Half of the hires came from other industries, providing personnel to support the expansion of operations in areas including regional problem-solving, digitalisation and cybersecurity.
The increase in hiring from other industries is intended to secure personnel with the expertise and experience needed to address increasingly diverse customer needs. The bank has hired people with experience in government, food manufacturing, IT and other sectors.
One example is Deputy Section Manager Matsuzaki Hideya (松崎 秀也), who joined the bank from Chiba City Hall and now works in the Regional Co-Creation Department. Drawing on his experience working on urban development after being seconded to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, he is also involved in urban development-related projects.
