Promotion of Human Resources Development

Basic philosophy

To raise the collective strength of Toyoda Gosei in the China region, we are striving to develop human resources and create workplace environments where every employee can maximize their abilities.

Enhanced Training Programs, Invigorated Personnel Development

To improve the skills and abilities needed in working at Toyoda Gosei, we are encouraging human resources development in three key areas: problem-solving, which is fundamental to work; the ability to work in teams based on communication; and basic skills for strong on-site abilities.

China Region Education System

Training of Global Executive Candidates

For the systematic training of candidates to manage and lead the company in the future, we have introduced a program to help people learn how to look and think about things at management level, and cultivate the qualities that will help them bear higher levels of work responsibility, with aims such as broadening their outlook and improving their judgment.

• CNED Develop and select talented executive candidates, learn the role and knowledge necessary for executives, improve the ability to challenge tasks and improve their management skills. Also it is a place for personnel and information exchange as a China regional executive.
• MMT For middle managers in China (candidates of future GM), the basics of the TG group management (viewpoints, ideas, and actions) is acquired, and it is conducted to develop candidates of GM.
  
  
  

To develop talented people in the China region, we have introduced a program to acquire a higher level of occupational responsibility, such as learning viewpoints and the way of thinking in the management level, and improving judgment skills, and so on. In 2017, we introduced an authorization system for problem solving skills. We are working on the development of executive candidates in China.

By continuing the development of managerial talents, we will secure human resources to support our business foundation.

Creating a Pleasant Corporate Culture

Basic philosophy

We believe that it is very important to have both systems and environment in place for our employees to work with energy and enthusiasm. In addition to measures to improve job satisfaction, we are actively working to improve office environments, cafeterias, restrooms, and other facilities to provide safe and comfortable work environments and create a foundation on which each employee can demonstrate their abilities. We are improving the company environment to create safe and comfortable workplaces for our employees by establishing a “hot desking” system in offices to promote flexible and efficient work styles that are not limited by location.

Safety Training – KYT Competition

Background: The occurrence of disasters in China from 2021 to 2022 gradually increased. It is necessary to strengthen KYT for all employees, enhance KY abilities, consolidate the KYT culture within the society, and enable every employee to know how to avoid disasters and achieve effective prevention.

Activity method: Japan Headquarter’s Safety & Health Promotion Division provided KY training to all sites online. From March to May of 2022, a global KYT activity was held once a month. From May to December of 2022, each site selected a group of KYT teams to participate in the China KYT competition. The competition was held from January to March of 2023. The task of the competition was issued by the Safety & Health Promotion Division, and TG China was responsible for organizing and supervising the implementation of the event. There were a total of 7 groups participating in the competition, each from different sites. The event ultimately resulted in the top three winners.
