Occupational health and safety
Leveraging and developing Konica Minolta’s global
personnel
In order to grow sustainably, a company must respond to the
intensification of global competition as well as market changes
such as the increasing sophistication and diversification of
customer needs. Talented employees go above and beyond from a
global standpoint and from the customer’s perspective. Konica
Minolta has created a Group-wide platform (system, tools, and
mindset definition) for training personnel and making the most of
their skills in an effort to boost the collective strengths of its
employees. While making roles at the global, regional, and
individual company levels clear, the Group is pursuing global
personnel training and deployment as “One Konica Minolta.”
In fiscal 2014, the Group established an HR management
system in each region, namely North America, Europe, China, and
Asia. It conducts evaluations of the Group’s senior personnel under
uniform global evaluation standards to identify strengths and
challenges. Based on these results, the Company then chooses
the right people for the right posts while also fostering successors.
Since fiscal 2010, the Group has run a Global Executive Program
(GEP) for executives at affiliated companies around the world,
looking to develop business leaders. The goals of GEP are to raise
participants’ awareness as business leaders within the Konica
Minolta Group and to enable participants to forge a global network
of personal contacts among themselves. During the program,
which lasts about one week, participants embrace a global
mindset and develop their leadership skills via face-to-face
discussions with top managers and debates on key issues among
themselves. As of the end of fiscal 2014, the program had been
held 9 times with 148 people from 60 companies participating.
In addition, since fiscal 2013 the Group has held Regional
GEP conferences, bringing together manager-level personnel with
the aim of developing potential future executives. The first Regional
GEP was held in China and the second was held in Singapore in
May 2015.
Konica Minolta’s top management maintains a deep commitment
to safety based on the idea of “safety first for employees,” and we
are working to improve individuals’ safety awareness while
enhancing the safety of our equipment. Our goals are to achieve
zero serious accidents and a frequency rate of accidents causing
absence from work of 0.1 or less, and we have implemented
various measures worldwide to prevent accidents during working
hours.
In fiscal 2014, the Group implemented measures to
strengthen safety management at sites outside Japan, which
account for the majority of production operations. In China, for
instance, in addition to each site’s usual health and safety
initiatives, the Group launched the China Health and Safety
Managers’ Committee for all sites, including production and sales.
The Committee promotes the strengthening of health and safety,
including employee health management.
As a result of these efforts, the Group reported zero serious
accidents in fiscal 2014. The frequency rate of accidents causing
absence from work was 0.28 in Japan and 0.19 outside Japan.
Due to our many years of conducting work safety and health
activities, Konica Minolta’s number of work accidents is low, both
inside and outside of Japan.
In January 2015, our Malaysian plant established in May 2014
acquired OHSAS 18001 certification.
