Training System

Kanematsu University

We have set “acquire and expand added value” as one of our courses of growth in order to keep continuously creating value in the long term. We believe the development of management professionals is essential to “acquire and expand added value.”To this end, Kanematsu University (KGU) was established in July 2019 as a reinforced and more systematic version of the existing training system with the goal of developing management professionals who can create new businesses. The curriculum at KGU consists of three categories: general education, interpersonal knowledge and skills, and professional knowledge and skills, with a wide variety of courses available through e-learning and group training, depending on the content. The course content ranges from the basic business manners and languages skills, to specialized knowledge and skills, such as business investment, legal matters, and anger management, and is designed to develop the next generation of management professionals.

Development of DX Human Resources

Kanematsu is promoting DX to work with our business partners and overcome challenges as we strive to shift to businesses that conform to next-generation standards by leveraging digital and automation technologies in our supply chain. We believe the DX human resources that we are looking for require not only digital knowledge but also business knowledge. As such, we not only provide training to enhance IT literacy but also opportunities to interact with employees of group companies that specialize in digital technologies. With this initiative, we aim to develop human resources who can promote DX in line with the digitalization progress of our business partners.

Evaluation System

In our personnel evaluations, we have introduced the Review & Challenge (R&C) system for setting specific personal targets, which is based on organizational goals set from management by objectives (MBO) as well as each individual's characteristics and future growth.
Within the R&C system, employees set goals at the beginning of the term, and reviews are conducted during the middle and end of the term to see how much they have achieved. This is then reflected in the benefits and evaluations of the employees. The system is also used as an opportunity to review one’s career and work duties, helping to develop human resources who take on challenges.
