Development of Global Human Resources

Developing Human Resources Underpinning Our Global Business

The Fujikura Group has over 50,000 employees across more than 20 countries and regions. Our people develop innovative and useful products and solutions, aiming to be a trusted partner for customers through "TSUNAGU" technologies used in manufacturing. The key to further enhancing these efforts is global human resources that can play an active role internationally. Human resource development activities toward this end are an important pillar of management that will pave the way for the Group’s future.

Basic Philosophy and Policy on Human Resources Development

Under the Group HRM Vision, we foster a sense of ownership in our diverse workforce to act on a policy of “everyone is a star,” regardless of nationality, race, gender, religion or age. We also take steps to develop talent who can spearhead reforms while respecting, cooperating with, and motivating one another.

Approaches to Human Resources Development

Human resources development at Fujikura focuses on on-the-job training (OJT) at each workplace, correlating evaluations with development efforts to empower employees to take the lead in developing their own careers. Supervisors also consider job rotations for development purposes based on discussions with their subordinates. In addition, we introduced the Career Challenge System providing open recruitment of unfilled positions within the company to make it easier for employees to seize the opportunity and achieve their career ambitions. This fosters independence in our people. The system is operated as a comprehensive system for human resources development.
