The members of the Blanks Division engage in
various discussions every day. The themes are wide
ranging and include products, customers, and
technology, but at any rate, this is a team that
conducts lively discussions. These discussions are
very effective in advancing the development of
HOYA. First, mistakes are prevented. As employees
repeatedly engage in sufficient discussion to advance
their work, mistakes can be predicted and avoided in
advance. Second, decision-making is fast. Decisions
are made swiftly based on a consensus that is
established through sufficient discussion involving
many employees. This is the same not only within the
division but also between the divisional director and
the CEO. There are cases where we make a proposal
to the divisional director, the divisional director
proposes this to the CEO, and feedback comes to us
at an amazing speed. I believe that the speed of this
decision-making is the source of HOYA's strength.
I think the speed of de cision-making is also
influenced by the strong relationship of trust between
superiors and their subordinate staff. The divisional
director really trusts me. He has created an
environment where it is easy to work. In the same
way, the CEO trusts the divisional director. I believe
that I have a responsibility to diligently fulfil the trust
of the divisional director in the form of results.
By working at HOYA, I came to realize that a
company that values its employees is a company
that trusts its employees.
HOYA’
s culture is
all about thorough discussion
Employees talk about "Invisible Assets"
HOYA's Invisible Assets
We interviewed employees that are playing an active role in the HOYA Group to convey the essence of "human
resources" and "organization", which are HOYA's invisible assets, to all stakeholders.
