Making Global Professionals More Visible and Training Them
Employee Surveys: One NEC Survey and Engagement Survey
Tackling Health and Safety
To further support our global growth from the personnel side, in fiscal
2011, the NEC Group began building a framework for training
professionals capable of succeeding in a global organization.
NEC created a global-standard framework on human resources and
skills to provide a common global scale for gauging the capabilities of
human resources. Based on this, NEC developed a Web-based SaaS-
style management tool for human resources and skills to improve the
visibility of the skills of professionals at overseas subsidiaries. Moreover,
in fiscal 2015, NEC carried out skills surveys at overseas subsidiaries
that have yet to introduce such management tools. We were able to
The NEC Group conducts One NEC Surveys each year for all employees
of Group affiliates in Japan to better understand employees’ opinions
and thoughts about the Company, workplaces, and jobs. In addition,
since fiscal 2012, NEC has carried out Engagement Surveys for
employees of overseas Group companies every other year. The results
of both surveys are utilized to determine the direction of human
resources initiatives and measures to develop organizations.
One NEC Survey (Japan)
In fiscal 2015, this survey was conducted at NEC Corporation and 33
NEC Group companies in Japan. The purposes were to identify the
factors that motivate each employee to perform better and improve
customer satisfaction. Responses were obtained from 48,857
employees, making the response rate about 84%. More than 70% of the
respondents expressed positive opinions about their high degree of
trust in their co-workers, their desire to contribute to customers, and
their loyalty to NEC. However, only from 40% to 50% of the employees
A fundamental NEC principle is that "NEC will maintain and enhance
comfortable and supportive workplaces to ensure the health and safety
of all people working at its business sites." Based on that, NEC provides
various occupational health and safety and health enhancement
activities company-wide, taking into account the characteristics of each
company and workplace.
Adoption and Functioning of the NEC Group’s Occupational
Health and Safety Management Regulations
NEC established a company-wide Occupational Health & Safety Policy in
2010. It was used to regulate specific actions in individual situations. In
2012, the NEC Group’s Occupational Health and Safety Management
Regulations were established as part of efforts to enhance the quality
of the activities.
visualize the skills of about 80% of the service personnel, systems
engineers, and software developers.
For employees at overseas subsidiaries who are expected to
become leaders to drive global business, we are implementing global
leader training. Through this
training, we will help them share

various regions.
had positive opinions about career opportunities, evaluation systems,
and work processes. Based on these results, NEC will further enhance
and promote career opportunities to provide employees better future
prospects and a greater sense of growth.
Engagement Survey (Overseas Subsidiaries)
In fiscal 2015, this survey was conducted at overseas subsidiaries in 30
countries managed by the Global Business Unit. It was in seven
languages. Responses were obtained from 7,900 employees and the
response rate was 77%. More than 60% of the respondents expressed
positive opinions regarding teamwork and customer-oriented work
execution. In contrast, the positive response rates for career
opportunities, evaluation systems, and work environments were about
35%. This tendency is similar to the responses of employees in Japan.
Based on these trends, NEC will collaborate with each region to develop
the organization further.
Efforts to Acquire OHSAS 18001 Certification
The NEC Group has been working since fiscal 2011 to obtain OHSAS
18001 certification by fiscal 2015 for occupational health and safety,
taking into account the characteristics of
each company and workplace. Certification
has already been obtained for 11 NEC
Group companies thought to be likely to
have health and safety risks, including the
NEC Kansai Building, sales bases, and
production lines. Looking forward, we are
moving ahead with OHSAS certification or
implementation of a similar program for
other NEC Group companies.
