Human Resource Development

We have fair personnel systems in place to help diverse employees play active roles by fully demonstrating their abilities, as well as make efforts to develop and deploy human resources.

Human Resource Utilization and Development

We have incorporated “respecting the individuality of each employee, striving to promote each one's abilities, and implementing a fair and appropriate system of evaluation and rewards” in our Management Principle, and aim to continue systematically securing and developing competent and competitive human resources to form a strong professional team that will continue to tirelessly seek new challenges for the growth and development of Toshiba Tec.

Profile of human resources Toshiba Tec is aiming for

To realize our goal of being a global top solutions partner, Toshiba Tec has revised our HR vision from “an image of the kind of people we seek” to “human resources we are aiming for,” establishing a vision of what all Toshiba Tec employees, including the management team, should want to be. To draw closer to that vision, under the theme of “People are Our Assets,” we are promoting measures to support the growth of our employees.
By introducing various career support measures in conjunction with “career design,” we will strengthen the development of career-autonomous human resources who can think independently about their own careers.

Training program / education system

We provide training programs to establish a shared base for our employees and systems that can respond to individual needs and career characteristics.

Career development support program

As part of our Human Resource Utilization and Development system, we have adopted the Career Design Program (CDP) since 2011 to create an individual development plan based on the CDP, and annually conduct interviews and reviews in order to ensure that employees continue to grow as professionals.

We also provide an opportunity for employees to develop their own careers, such as our Internal Job Posting System, in which employees themselves can apply for vacant posts announced by divisions. We also introduced a one-on-one interview system in fiscal 2021, where employees and their supervisors regularly meet one on one to foster mutual understanding, and thereby build a relationship of trust. The system is designed to help employees develop their career together with supervisors by making it easy for employees to share their own desired career from time to time. From fiscal 2024, we will increase our training programs to allow employees to address the career issues of their respective age groups and offer opportunities for employees of different age groups to play active roles at the relevant milestones.

Executive Development Programs

To realize our vision for “human resources we are aiming for,” we have clearly defined our major positions and conduct programs to develop the kind of people who will be able to fill those positions. The aim of these programs is to raise the quantity and quality of human resources and create a highly mobile organization by visualizing the respective experience, abilities, and qualities of each person and deploying and developing them strategically.

Global HR Development

To realize our goal of being a global top solutions partner, we must ensure a competitive advantage in the global market. To this end, we conduct a variety of training programs that provide the foundations to increase the number of people who will be able to lead our efforts toward that goal. In addition to language programs, we deploy a range of measures, including practical programs, seminars to assist all employees to form a global mindset, and dispatching employees to overseas subsidiaries of the Group for training.

Expansion of Online Learning Services

In 2023, we introduced “LinkedIn Learning,” an online learning service to develop human resources who will acquire an attitude of autonomous learning and think independently about their own careers. Over 90% of those who registered in fiscal 2023 are using the service to not only acquire the knowledge that they need for their work, but also to voluntarily obtain information that they are personally interested in, spreading a culture of reskilling throughout the company.

Development of Human Resources Who Will Create New Value

We introduced an external transfer system in fiscal 2019 as a measure to promote action for the creation of new businesses, with the aim of nurturing human resources and next-generation leaders capable of triggering innovation and organizational change. Twenty-one employees were transferred under the system by fiscal 2023. This is a training program to develop human resources who will create new value by experiencing the overwhelming speed of start-up businesses and acquiring the perspective of looking at the whole organization from a bird's-eye view, through a six-month transfer to work on-site at startup companies.
This program includes regular support from external mentors during the transfer period, which gives the transferees the opportunity to delve deeper into what they have learned and discovered through dialogue and encourages their growth. After the program is concluded, the transferees share their experiences and learnings back at Toshiba Tec, which provides impetus for change within the Company.
