NEC Solution Innovators Releases Human Capital Report 2025
On [insert date], NEC Solution Innovators published the much-anticipated "Human Capital Report 2025," marking the company's third edition of this critical document. The report emphasizes the company's commitment to becoming an appealing workplace where employees can thrive, underpinned by the principle of "Attract & Retain." This principle guides the organization's approach to human capital management, ensuring that investments in talent are transparent and responsive to stakeholder feedback.
Key Highlights of the Human Capital Report 2025
1. Enhancing Employee Well-being
Recognizing the importance of employee well-being, NEC is dedicated to fostering a workplace where diverse individuals feel empowered to express themselves and maximize their performance. Last year, the company established three pillars—health, growth, and job satisfaction—leading to the formation of working groups selected from various business lines. These groups have implemented wide-reaching initiatives across the organization. For instance, in the area of health, NEC promoted "Assertive Communication" to cultivate a psychologically safe work environment, complemented by training for all employees to acquire this essential skill. Furthermore, the insights gained from the Nikkei Integrated Well-being Survey have been instrumental in refining various corporate strategies through continuous improvement.
2. Job-based Human Resource Management Reform
In alignment with NEC Group policies, the organization fully adopted a "Job-based Human Resource Management" approach starting this fiscal year. This framework defines job roles and responsibilities that align with corporate strategies, enabling timely and suitable placements of personnel. Employees are encouraged to enhance their career autonomy and expertise, contributing to business growth and the development of a robust organizational culture. Concurrently, the overhaul of traditional organizational structures now includes a department-based system, allowing for clearer operational units and fostering quicker decision-making and team performance. This shift aims to enhance responsiveness to changes in the business landscape, ultimately maximizing the value provided to customers and society.
3. Engaging Stakeholders to Advance Human Capital Management
Since the report's inception in 2023, NEC has facilitated numerous discussions with stakeholders—including customers, partners, and external experts—to refine and elevate its human capital management practices. As part of this initiative, a dialogue was conducted between Yoshikuni Edagawa, a professor at Ritsumeikan University, and NEC's Chairman, Kazutaka Ishii.
