Human Resources Management
Global Human Resources Management
In order for the Ricoh Group to achieve sustainable growth, it is important
that each employee from all Group companies around the world engages
in creating and providing customer value through implementing The
RICOH Way. It is also important for the company to implement personnel
development measures on a global basis to provide opportunities to each
Group employee to grow, particularly those with higher capabilities
and motivation.
Through M&As and other strategic consolidations that expand its
business, the Ricoh Group has become a corporate group with 100,000
employees. The potential of the Group will be further unleashed through
the concerted efforts of these diversified human resources around the
world in achieving common objectives beyond country borders and regions.
In October 2011, the Ricoh Group Human Resources Management
Policy was defined and a global business leadership training system
was initiated. A global pool of leaders will be established according
to this policy to facilitate the discovery, training and effective use of
human resources. Priority themes for promoting the management of
global human resources are 1) wide dissemination of The RICOH Way,
2) training for global top talent, 3) promotion of global mobility,
4) visualization of global human resources, and 5) adoption of a global
common system of personnel management.
Major efforts for global human resources
management
1) Wide dissemination of The RICOH Way
It is important to share the Group’s philosophy and value in terms of
acceleration of global business management. To further strengthen
cooperation among Group companies and improve the Group’s
competitiveness, we are promoting the sharing of The RICOH Way.
2) Training for global top talent
Regarding candidate business leaders as the Group’s assets, we have
redefined the process of selection, training, use (rotation), evaluation
and appointment of the business leader training system. Using this
system, efforts are ongoing to promote the continuing growth of
the Ricoh Group. The Global Executive Summit (GES), consisting of
candidate business leaders from around the world, was formed in
2011 to ensure sharing of The RICOH Way as well as business policy
and strategy, and to make proposals to the Head Office’s management
team through group discussions. In addition, we are preparing
“training programs for executive candidates” on a global basis.
Global HR Management Conference
● Establishment of a Global HR matrix system
Global human resources management is the key to making full use of
each individual employee’s expertise in each Group company, for which
improvement in cooperation among personnel departments of all Group
companies is needed. Ricoh has a cooperative system for managing
global human resources that involves overseas regional headquarters,
and personnel-related issues are discussed under the global matrix
organizational system.
Under this system, programs for global human resources
management are developed and implemented. Currently, particular
emphasis is placed on the themes described above.

3) Promotion of global mobility
Personnel reshuffling of executives, mid-level executives with high
expertise, and general employees is performed beyond countries
and regions in order to appoint the right person for the right job on
a global basis. The initial reshuffling that took place according to
this concept involved three employees who were transferred from
overseas regions to Japan by the end of March 2012. Reshuffling of
personnel beyond borders will be expanded in the future.
