Initiatives to support employee growth
Growth for Each and Every Employee
To support each employee's independent challenges and growth, we are expanding various learning opportunities such as career design systems, training programs, on-the-job training (OJT), and e-learning. Additionally, we are establishing various talent development frameworks required by our business strategy, shining a spotlight on motivated and hardworking individuals, and focusing on supporting their growth. These employees will be selected for key roles across various situations. Furthermore, we are creating new opportunities for diverse experiences and learning, with a focus on the early development of younger employees.
Linkage of Major Personnel Systems with Human Resources Development
To support the growth of each and every employee by visualizing their individuality, skills, and career, it is essential to establish an information system that can centrally gather, visualize, and analyze various types of personnel data. With the aim of better understanding the talent portfolio, examining employee development initiatives, and utilizing this information for placement and growth, we are working to further enhance our talent management system.
Development of Human Resources in Line with Our Strategy
Developing Executive Talent
The development of executive talent involves identifying potential individuals and placing them in an executive talent pool. These individuals are nurtured to become transformational leaders through a combination of internal and external training programs tailored to different levels, as well as through challenging assignments that provide them with valuable experience.
Strengthening the Management Skills of Managers
To effectively implement the new management grade system, we have revised the 360-degree feedback (multi-perspective evaluation) process and the manager training programs.
Fostering Innovation Talent
We define individuals capable of driving and accelerating innovation activities as high-potential innovation talent. Based on their innovation skills and experience, we categorize their development into stages from A to E, aiming to increase the number of higher-level talent.
Development of Human Resources to Work Globally
To strengthen the Company's global business efforts as a whole, with all hands on deck, we are working to shift employees' mindset toward global business. We are also aiming to foster talent who can adapt to language, business practices, and cultural differences through training, strategic assignments, and rotations, enabling them to thrive on the global stage.
Fostering AI Talent
To enhance the value of solutions through AI utilization, OKI has been developing personnel in each department who can leverage AI.
Starting in fiscal year 2023, OKI introduced its internal generative AI platform, the OKI AI Chat System, and began efforts to train employees on utilizing generative AI safely and effectively.
Support for Autonomous Learning and Diversification of Experience
The OKI Group has established a training system that includes "business skill education," in which employees learn business skills autonomously regardless of job position or occupation, as well as "specialized education" to hone their professional expertise. In addition, we are enhancing our e-learning programs. The total training hours per OKI employee in fiscal year 2023 was 20.3 hours.
