We implement human resources strategies linked to management strategies while placing the same emphasis on dialogue with employees and investors. Specifically, we strengthen human investment based on the human resources requirements formulated for the execution of business strategies and the visualized human resources data, as well as human resources management that encourages the active participation of diverse human resources.
Yaskawa Group has established a global human resources philosophy that defines our basic concept of the human resources we seek and our personnel system. In order to realize Vision 2025, we will focus on “deepening the understanding of Yaskawa Principles,” “evolving diversity and inclusion,” “training and optimal placement of professional human resources,” and “creating a comfortable work environment.” By constantly monitoring these initiatives through proactive communication with employees, such as ES questionnaire and direct dialogue with management, we will quickly reflect the feedback in the improvement of human resources policies and accelerate the improvement of productivity and job satisfaction. Through these initiatives, we aim to contribute to solving customer issues, create new added value for society, and continuously improve corporate value.

Overall human resources strategy

Visualization and utilization of human resource data by YDX

Yaskawa defines the skills required for each department and job category, and assesses employees’ current capabilities through annual skill checks. For example, in the technology department, employees’ experiences and skills are visualized, and the information is used to assign the engineers to development themes and to formulate hiring plans.
In addition, Yaskawa Group is promoting initiatives to link and visualize human resource data globally through YASKAWA Digital Transformation (YDX). By analyzing and utilizing the collected data in a timely manner, we are speedily implementing various human resource initiatives, including recruitment, deployment, development, evaluation, and system management, while at the same time working to raise the level of human resource management.
