Nagoya City University Implements COMPANY Talent Management System to Optimize Employee Placement

Nagoya City University Adopts COMPANY Talent Management Series

Nagoya City University, led by Chairman Kenjiro Kori, recently announced its decision to implement the COMPANY Talent Management series (CTM2.0) by WHI Holdings. This integration aims to optimize employee capabilities and experiences to achieve strategic staff placements tailored to individual skills and career aspirations.

The decision stems from the institution's commitment to its "Nagoya City University Future Plan 2021," which aims to create an organization capable of flexibly adapting to social changes and diversities. In a rapidly changing higher education environment, strategically managing human resources is critical for sustainable growth. Understanding employees' specialties and career orientations have become essential for efficient and appropriate employee placements. Historically, the drafting of transfer proposals involved synthesizing information gathered from both the personnel management system and feedback from various departments. This process heavily relied on the memory of HR personnel and manual record-keeping, making it cumbersome as staff numbers grew, thus increasing the burden on HR teams.

Background of the Adoption of CTM2.0

To overcome these challenges, Nagoya City University opted for CTM2.0, focusing on a data-driven approach for efficient and transparent employee placements. The existing talent management capabilities were enhanced through the utilization of a robust data foundation amassed over 20 years in the COMPANY HR management system. Furthermore, by adopting the same series, the university can conveniently use the latest data without the hassle of double management.

Expected Benefits of CTM2.0 Implementation

1. Streamlined Transfer Processes:
Previously, pertinent information scattered across various platforms created fragmented data challenges, complicating the initial stages of transfer proposal development. By consolidating all necessary information onto CTM2.0, the universities can rapidly assemble lists of potential candidates for transfers and fill vacancies. A straightforward drag-and-drop interface allows HR to simulate transfers conveniently, drastically reducing the time spent on transfer considerations.

2. Enhanced Transparency through Data-based Placements:
With visibility of employees’ work experiences, skills, and qualifications, HR professionals can now make well-informed decisions matching employees to departmental needs based on objective data instead of relying solely on subjective memory or opinions. Features that log individual characteristics and past work histories allow for a multi-faceted discussion about interpersonal relationships and workplace suitability.

The university also aims to broaden CTM2.0’s utilization to include developing training plans based on skill information, addressing organizational issues like personnel composition and workload balance, ultimately leading to a robust management foundation that supports continuous growth.

Comment from Nagoya City University

Nagoya City University conducts regular staff transfers to enhance employee qualifications and invigorate the organization. However, the growing staff numbers had resulted in diversified employee data, creating significant delays in transfer proposal discussions. The decision to adopt CTM2.0 was made on the grounds that it integrates seamlessly with the COMPANY system already being utilized for payroll tasks and allows intuitive execution of complex transfer simulations. By maximizing the utility of accumulated personnel data, the university aims to achieve credible placements that align with the capabilities and career aspirations of its staff, further strengthening its operational foundation.
