Human Resource Development

Our top priority is to acquire and develop diverse human resources to create and support the next business model amidst the increasing sophistication and complexity of manufacturing. We want to secure and develop human resources with the EIZO mindset as well as flexible thinking and practical skills to respond to the age of VUCA.
The EIZO mindset represents our confidence and pride in creating and delivering the “world's best” to customers around the world, as the leader in visual imaging-related equipment, while maintaining high ethical standards and a global mindset in our broadminded corporate culture for employees to demonstrate creative abilities. We will further foster and share this mindset, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and promote the development of human resources who can continue to expand our business.

To develop the next generation of EIZO Group human resources, we plan a variety of training and education programs for all employees (including part-time and contract employees) in Japan, including training by job level and function, global human resource development, and assistance for self-development, while keeping abreast of internal education and training needs. In our overseas Group companies, we organize training opportunities for the entire company and individuals for developing the respective skills required by product development and sales operations. Moreover, we seek to raise skills by making use of on-the-job training and external seminars.
For the FY2024, we have increased our educational investment target to 60,000 JPY per person (126% of the previous year’s amount) and our training time target to 50 hours per person (132% of the previous year’s amount). This enhancement in educational investment aims to strengthen our business model and invigorate our training programs.

System of Training and Education (Japan)

Training by Job Level

Training while Visiting Users

In this training, employees provide customer support while visiting users to introduce and install products and give after-sales support, in cooperation with EIZO Support Network Corporation, which offers field support. The goal of the training is for employees to gain a perspective related to the provision of hardware as well as services and solutions as they meet customer requests at the sites where these are being used.

Support for Personal Development

The EIZO group encourages proactive self-development, covering the full cost of examination fees not only for qualifications necessary for work but also for those that contribute to skill enhancement. Additionally, when employees in Japan obtain qualifications that are particularly relevant to their job, they may become eligible to receive an extra incentive payment, creating an environment that supports employees in autonomously improving their skills.

Development and Delivery of Training programs in Collaboration with External Educational Institutions

The EIZO group participates in a Management of Technology (MOT) training program organized by Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) to develop the next generation of core talent. In addition to contributing academic knowledge and expertise that is difficult to obtain in-house, the EIZO group engages in discussions and proposals with other participating companies to drive business breakthroughs.

Personnel Evaluation System

The EIZO group has introduced MBO (Management by Objectives) system to further enhance individual employee development, career advancement, and overall organizational performance. Employees set their own goals at the beginning of each six-month evaluation cycle and strive to achieve them through their daily activities. At the end of the period, they reflect on their achievements and receive a performance rating based on the extent to which they have accomplished their objectives. As part of this evaluation process, supervisors provide feedback and advice, encouraging further growth and higher performance from employees.

Drawing upon the strengths of the Group network worldwide, we are fostering a global mindset as a component of the EIZO mindset through the following initiatives.

Transfers to Overseas Group Companies and Internships at Overseas Offices

EIZO is promoting personnel exchanges within the EIZO Group in Japan and overseas, including the dispatch of engineers to overseas Group companies over several years and shortterm training programs for young employees. Through these activities, we strive to understand the needs of overseas markets and share expertise on design and development. Transfers are intended to foster a greater sense of unity by deepening mutual understanding through exposure to different cultures and increasing the number of human resources capable of managing business from a global perspective.

EIZO United Conference

EIZO holds the annual EIZO United conference at EIZO Corporation (Japan), attended every year by around 100 participants from EIZO Group companies and EIZO Authorized Distributors. During the conference, we share our latest technologies, the status of sales in each country, and information on various initiatives as well as the overall product and business direction. Not only does this deepen everyone's understanding of our future direction but it also fosters a strong sense of unity within our network through mutual exchanges. Moreover, it provides opportunities for employees in various departments to present their department's initiatives to cultivate a sense of belonging to “One EIZO.”
