40 NIKON REPORT 2015
Human Resource Strategies to Enhance
the Nikon Group’s Competitive Advantages
Human Resource
Capabilities
Q Please tell us about the main point of your human
resource strategies designed to accelerate the Nikon
Group’s transformation.
“Next 100 —Transform to Grow,” our Medium-Term Management
Plan, contains the word “transform.” This word expresses our resolve
to bring about reform not only to our business portfolio but to the
Nikon Group as a whole.
As part of this reform, we are introducing the Nikon Group’s shared
FUTURE IN FOCUS human resource development policy. Under this
policy, we will review the current values and methods of each and
every employee in the Nikon Group and encapsulate thoughts on how
we would like them to make changes on a daily basis.
Q What is the outline of FUTURE IN FOCUS?
This new human resource development policy comprises three ele-
ments: “Competency,” “Global Performance and Development,” and
“Succession Planning.”
“Competency” Denes the Quality Sought in Target Personnel
Competencies clearly set out the necessary actions and behavior
sought by the Nikon Group in target personnel.
Competencies are regarded as the actions and behavior necessary
to realize Nikon’s corporate philosophy of “Trustworthiness and
Creativity.” Competencies are also intended to be the foundation on
We will realize our transformation by reviewing the current
values and methods of each and every employee in the
Nikon Group and making changes on a daily basis.
Takaharu Honda
Senior Vice President and Director,
General Manager of Human Resources & Administration Division
To develop sustainably into the future, I consider human resources to be our most important asset.
The Nikon Group has many outstanding technological foundations. Drawing on these foundations to make people’s lives
richer and to bring about further development requires that each and every employee maintain a strong curiosity as we continue
to create new ideas of the kind that break stereotypes.
The Nikon Group has dened the vision of its “sought-after target personnel” and enforces human resource development
and utilization throughout the Group. To realize “Next 100 —Transform to Grow,” its Medium-Term Management Plan, the
Group will introduce FUTURE IN FOCUS,
a human resource policy targeting human
resource development that will facilitate
raising the awareness of each and every
employee and give added incentive to
improve human resource capabilities.
