Infronia Holdings Implements Integrated HR System 'COMPANY'
Overview
WHI Holdings, a Tokyo-based company led by CEO Tomitaro Anzai, has recently announced that Infronia Holdings, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo and led by CEO Issei Kibe, along with its main business subsidiaries, will adopt the integrated human resources system 'COMPANY' and the 'COMPANY Talent Management' series. This strategic decision aims to leverage talent data for effective talent management and foster synergies within the group.
Background for Adopting 'COMPANY'
Infronia Holdings was established in October 2021 through the merger of three companies: Maeda Corporation, Maeda Road Co., Ltd., and Maeda Seisakusho Co., Ltd. With plans for the addition of Japan Wind Development Co., Ltd. in 2024 and Mitsui Sumitomo Construction Co., Ltd. in 2025, the company is rapidly expanding its business scale and scope. To achieve its vision of becoming a 'comprehensive infrastructure service company,' each subsidiary must optimally deploy its advanced technologies, know-how, and diverse human resources across the organization, maximizing the value created by each employee.
However, managing talent across the group proved challenging due to each subsidiary operating distinct HR systems. To address this, Infronia Holdings has unified its human resource information framework by adopting 'COMPANY' for approximately 10,000 employees across six companies, providing a real-time, visible talent management system.
Reasons for Choosing 'COMPANY'
Several factors contributed to the selection of 'COMPANY':
- - Comprehensive functionality covering all HR areas from onboarding, personnel management, payroll, attendance tracking to talent management.
- - User-friendly UI/UX allowing for intuitive operations.
- - Established track record in group management and talent systems.
- - Inclusion of AI capabilities tailored for Japan's major corporations, along with anticipated future enhancements.
Expected Outcomes
The implementation of 'COMPANY' will result in the consolidation of HR data for roughly 10,000 employees, facilitating real-time aggregation and analysis of crucial information from basic data to qualifications and past project achievements. By utilizing the 'COMPANY Talent Management' series, the company will gain a multifaceted understanding of employees’ experiences and skills based on the most current HR information. This capability supports timely and informed decisions regarding optimal staffing for specific projects and construction sites. Enhanced visibility into talent resources will accelerate synergies across the group, facilitating cross-company project initiatives and talent mobility as they strive to function as an all-encompassing infrastructure service provider.
Moreover, the standardization of operational flow while maintaining unique regulations and rules of individual companies is expected to simplify corporate operations and reduce the complexity of procedures related to transfers and temporary assignments.
Comments from Infronia Holdings
Through the use of 'COMPANY' and the 'COMPANY Talent Management' series, Infronia Holdings aims to realize optimal talent management as outlined in their mid-term management plan. The focus extends to enabling each employee to autonomously shape their diverse careers while maximizing their strengths in a supportive environment.
The adoption of this integrated system anticipates significant contributions to standardizing and optimizing corporate operations while enhancing ease of use for employees, expected to generate synergistic effects with ongoing business reforms across the group.
Through enhanced utilization of talent and reforms in the back-office functions, Infronia Holdings seeks to generate additional synergies, thus providing long-term corporate value to all stakeholders, including employees, while contributing to the creation of societal value.
