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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
