Evaluation system
The Group examines multi-faceted criteria to support employee skill development, promote utilization of skills, accurately grasp the degree of achievement of duties, perform on-the-job training, give fair and accurate evaluations, support challenges and fair promotions to higher positions, and contribute to a fair treatment system in promotion, transfer, positioning, education, etc. through all skills.
Target management
Each employee sets their own targets twice a year. The Group has adopted a “target management” system to evaluate the achievement/contribution to those targets and provide proper benefits.
The Group performs multi-sided evaluations, including performance evaluations that assess the achievement of performance targets and important topics as well as achievement of duties that target sharing of organizational targets, operational status evaluations that asses the appropriateness of internal controls, and evaluations of individual contributions in each department and contribution and achievement of operations improvement targets.
Competency evaluation
In order to develop employees, the Group has adopted “competency evaluations” to grasp and realize actions expected in operational achievements once a year, and evaluate the degree of action / skill usage.
