Nurturing Human Resources and Departments / Divisions that Take on Challenges, Grow, and Act Autonomously
We have adopted "Transformation of Business," "Transformation of Technology" and "Transformation of Human Resources" as our basic policies in our medium-term management plan.
For "Transformation of Human Resources," we aim to enhance corporate value sustainably by maximizing the value of our human resources under the following Human Resources Strategic Vision.
Human Resources Strategic Vision
The formation of a trusted group of professionals who are not afraid of change and who will open up the future through "Orchestration" within and outside the Company
As technological innovation, including AI, and changes in the business environment accelerate, we are working to secure and develop human resources who support the realization to strengthen our business strategies, and to build an organization that enables each individual can demonstrate their abilities.
Developing Human Resources to Support Our Business Strategy
Developing Human Resources to Support Our Business Strategy
We are working to secure and develop specialized human resources necessary for realizing our business strategy. By clarifying human resource requirements that are important to our business strategy and visualizing our employees' skills and experience, we are working to optimize recruitment, development, and assignment, with the aim of strengthening our human resources foundation that supports sustainable growth.
In terms of recruitment, in addition to strengthening our collaboration with staffing agencies. we are developing market-competitive employment conditions and working environments, and working to secure, through mid-career recruitment, human resources who can contribute immediately. We also continue to strengthen the recruitment of new graduates to pass on the advanced technologies and know-how that support our mainstay payment business.
In terms of development, in addition to strengthening project management capabilities, we are enhancing expertise and promoting reskilling by providing ongoing learning opportunities through a learning platform. Along with developing specialized human resources in advanced technology fields, including AI and cloud computing, we are also working to develop core human resources who will drive the realization of our business strategy.
Reinforcement of Organizational Strengths
Reinforcement of Organizational Strengths
As well as creating an environment in which every individual employee can demonstrate their strengths with peace of mind, by responding flexibly to change and elevating our ability to transform as an organization, we are advancing initiatives to improve our soundness and performance, and link them to sustainable corporate growth.
To enhance employment engagement, we are working to identify our organizational issues through regular engagement surveys, as well as enhance communication and improve work environments. In addition, we promote "Orchestration," which aims to create value through collaboration among diverse divisions and human resource, and strive to strengthen our sense of unity and our collaboration as an organization.
Furthermore, we promote health and productivity management, recognizing that the health of each employee is the foundation for the sustainable enhancement of corporate value. We have been recognized as an Outstanding Organization of KENKO Investment for Health ("White 500") for consecutive four years under the Recognition Program for the Outstanding Organization of KENKO Investment for Health, which is run by Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi.
Systema Supporting Career Autonomy and Challenges
Systema Supporting Career Autonomy and Challenges
We are promoting the creation of an environment where each employee can proactively build their career and grow. We have enhanced our voluntary transfer system, such as the Self-reporting system and Cross-job system, and established systems to support our employees' self-realization and sustainable growth. Going forward, we plan to implement job rotation to promote the acquisition of cross-organizational perspectives and skills, thus supporting the growth of our human resources through diverse experiences.
| Self-reporting system | This is a system for all employees at positions below a section manager to share their career aspirations and their wishes for a transfer or change of jobs, etc. every year. Through this system, we can better understand the current situation and career aspirations of all employees and ensure the appropriate placement of human resources and support their career development while personnel in management positions can gain an insight into the career aspirations of their subordinates and incorporate this into their usual work guidance. |
| Cross-job system | This system has been introduced with the objective of training human resources to enhance the knowledge and skills required for innovation across departments. Employees can state their desire to be involved in work outside their general duties for up to 20-30% of their working hours. |
| FA system | This is a system that allows employees who have been engaged in the same duties for a long period of time to apply for a transfer to another department. It has been introduced as a way to increase employee motivation and create opportunities for employee growth. |
| In-house recruitment system | This system has been introduced to ensure the effective utilization of in-house human resources, growth, acquisition and retention of human resources who want to grow, and revitalization of the workplace. Through this system, we hope to provide opportunities for employees to voluntarily choose their workplace. |
Initiatives to Create New Business Opportunities
Initiatives to Create New Business Opportunities
We believe that employees' freely generated ideas and efforts to take on challenges lead to the creation of new businesses and value. As part of these efforts, we operate IWI Start-up Acceleration Program (ISAP), a business creation program, and Build with ISAP (BWI), a human resources development program for business creation.
Through BWI, we provide information to link problem identification to business planning through lectures and workshops by outside business owners or entrepreneurs and through a portal site we have established. In addition, ISAP supports the commercialization of business ideas proposed by our employees, promoting the development of human resources who take on the challenge of creating new value.
