Human Resource Development

Fujifilm is aiming to realize its corporate slogan “Value from Innovation” by courageously taking on challenges presented by an ever-changing business environment without fearing changes. 
To achieve this mission, we are committed to establishing a corporate culture where diverse employees can fully demonstrate their respective abilities and achieve positive results by leveraging their strength and effective working style. In such a corporate culture, employees can compete with each other by developing their personal strength and values, which, as a result, will bring innovations to the Group.

Fujifilm expects the following six capabilities for ideal human resources:

A person’s business performance reflects his/her integrated personal capabilities. Employees are expected to achieve a positive spiral by learning with humility from anything and anyone, developing personal capabilities through work experiences, and accomplishing tasks with such developed capabilities to generate greater values.

Fujifilm places great value on Human Resource Development. More specifically, we aim to establish a corporate culture where each employee seeks to grow, acquires strength with a high market value, and becomes a professional that can demonstrate diverse personal capabilities. At the same time, their supervisor makes a serious endeavor to develop their staff’s skills and abilities. To do so, we provide training programs for all positions from new employees to managers in order to enhance their respective roles. For example, we implement a system to develop young employees who have served less than three years at the company. Under the system, we set growth targets for them, such as learning with humility from anything and anyone, and passionately challenging and executing their tasks. Based on the growth targets, action targets are determined, which will be closely supported by senior employees. For managers, we provide training programs to enhance the strength to complete tasks while making essential innovative changes for better results and motivating team members. We also provide career support programs to enhance strength at each milestone after joining the company and systematic leadership development programs on a regular basis.

In addition, Fujifilm provides training programs to develop basic skills, techniques, and expertise necessary for employees working at the R&D, production, and sales/marketing divisions and functions, respectively. These training programs enable employees to systematically learn specific skills, such as business and ICT skills, by themselves from the basic level to the advanced level necessary for their respective workplace. We also link instructions provided during On-the-Job Training to that of Off-the-job training in order to enhance operational capabilities effectively.

Aiming to expand its business to the global market, Fujifilm promotes the initiatives of Global Human Resource Development based on the themes of “Strategically develop global skills and mindset” and “Build up the strength to challenge globally.” For Japanese employees who are appointed to overseas positions, we provide practical training programs such as training prior to overseas appointments and overseas onsite training. For employees working at overseas subsidiaries, we conduct training programs to disseminate our corporate value of “FUJIFILM WAY” to all employees around the world, as well as the executive training program of “FUJIFILM Global Leadership Seminar.”

Furthermore, we have been working on the establishment of a system to systematically recruit, develop, and employ talented human resources, aiming to cultivate global personnel who can be optimally assigned and work across the world regardless of their attributes such as nationality and gender. To achieve this mission, we host a meeting of HRD personnel from North America, Europe, China, and the Asia Pacific to discuss specific measures for the understanding, selection, development, and pooling of human resources from a global perspective. Moving forward, we will advance the establishment of a human resource base that enables our employees around the world to be linked with each other organically and expand our business in the global market.
