Notable Initiatives Recognized in the Survey

Implementation of Job-Based Talent Management

Starting in 2025, NEC has fully embraced a job-based talent management model. This approach defines roles and responsibilities, linking recruitment, development, allocation, and evaluation systems to ensure that human resources are effectively utilized. The objective is to achieve an ideal balance between providing the right talent at the right time for business strategies and fostering each employee's career independence.

Specific strategies include identifying necessary skills and experiences, which are then clearly outlined in job descriptions. The organization recruits the best candidates from within and outside the company, ensuring that all employees comprehend their roles and actively pursue the requisite skills for their positions. This framework fosters a flexible deployment of human resources based on job requirements rather than age or tenure.

NEC has also introduced a 9-block evaluation system that assesses employees based on dual axes of performance and behavior. Feedback from evaluations is shared openly with employees, encouraging constructive dialogues with supervisors to align expectations and developmental pathways.

Enhanced Visualization and Effectiveness of Human Capital Investment

NEC advocates for reinvesting profits generated from their business activities into the well-being, growth, and job satisfaction of each employee, thereby enhancing both corporate and societal value through a concept they describe as the Value Creation Cycle.

To maximize the effectiveness of this investment cycle, they analyze the interrelation between financial and non-financial indicators via data analytics, identifying high-impact investment initiatives. This ongoing review helps prioritize focus areas for human capital investments and assess the distribution of resources effectively.

The company is also leveraging technology, such as generative AI tools for career consultations, to measure investment effectiveness based on tool usage statistics.

A Commitment to Future Excellence
