Employees
Creating an organization to facilitate co-ownership of value from a global perspective
The Yamaha Motor Group strives to create workplaces that respect diversity, with the aim of achieving an organizational
structure based on sharing ideas and the same high ambitions and spirit, cooperation and joy in our work among the Company
and its employees from a global perspective.
As our business becomes increasingly global in scale, we need to step
up our efforts in areas including corporate governance and human
resource development. In terms of human resource development in
particular, we are enhancing our global development programs with the
aim of hiring local persons for 60% of senior management positions at
overseas locations by 2018.
Supporting Work–Life Balance
Aiming for a workplace environment that fosters autonomous
creativity
The Yamaha Motor Group defines its relationship with employees as a
business partnership, and the Company’s role as providing an attractive
workplace for autonomous individuals. We aim to create workplaces that
maintain a diversity of working styles and a positive work–life balance
by supporting career advancement plans based on mutual assumptions,
providing programs for child and nursing care leave, among other
efforts. We are also expanding the options for employees so that they
can work in ways that suit their individual circumstances.
Workplace Safety and Health
Creating a workplace environment that offers peace of mind
and comfort
Led by its Central Safety and Health Committee, Yamaha Motor is
promoting the establishment of safer working environments globally.
Risk assessment is performed in accordance with the Occupational
Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) to detect potential
dangers or harmful conditions at workplaces, and measures are taken
to prevent occupational accidents. Through job-specific education and
training, such as safety manager training programs and skill
improvement programs for supervisors, as well as holding occupational
safety and health meetings, we are focused on developing human
resources that can support occupational safety.
Workplaces Thriving on Diversity
To maintain continuous growth, we believe it is important that our
workforce incorporates diverse viewpoints and values, reflecting
different experiences, skills, and attributes. We have therefore
established a Global Human Resources Development Division at our
headquarters to develop and implement common management
development programs around the world, and introduced global human
resource systems to train and hire talented staff. We are also working to
build an organization that utilizes global experience and knowledge.
As we promote global management, we are hiring superior
management personnel regardless of their nationality or place of birth.
At overseas subsidiaries in particular, we are proactively hiring local staff
for management positions, with the aim of having 60% of these
positions filled by local managers by 2018. We are also continuing
human resource training at our headquarters to create an organization
that maximizes management capabilities that are mutually
complimentary with the experiences and skills of local staff.
In addition, to promote the participation of women, we have
announced and are pursuing a goal of doubling the number of female
managers from the 2014 level by 2020, and having three times the
2014 level by 2025. By hiring non-Japanese managers, and increasing
the number of non-Japanese employees and female managers, we are
striving to bring further diversity to our workforce and increase people’s
choices for how they work.
Nurturing Personnel and Supporting Their Careers
TOPICS
