Approach to Human Capital

Aiming to realize Kyocera's management rationale "To provide opportunities for the material and intellectual growth of all our employees, and through our joint efforts, contribute to the advancement of society and humankind," we strive to create an environment in which all our employees can approach can work with a sense of ownership and fully demonstrate their capabilities based on the Amoeba Management System of full participation, while at the same time prioritizing the fulfillment and empowerment of all employees. In our "Management by All" approach, our guideline for the judgment and behavior of all employees is our "Kyocera Philosophy," which is based on the concept of "What do we consider to be the right choice as a human being?". Even as we expand globally and employ employees from diverse backgrounds, by adhering to this common philosophy, we can continue to aim for even greater heights in work and growth based on our own free will and enthusiasm.
The Kyocera Philosophy states, "The Result of Our Life or Work = Attitude x Effort x Ability." In our company, where having ability, enthusiasm, and correct thinking as a human being is regarded as more important than anything else, we steadfastly inherit the Kyocera Philosophy and provide educational opportunities so that each employee can improve their abilities, skills, and expertise. In doing so, we ensure that everyone at our company can fully display their potential and realize the growth of individuals and the company while at the same time cherishing the fulfillment and worthwhileness of all employees

Philosophy Education

As a part of our group-wide efforts, selected executives are dispatched to Global Philosophy Seminars held in different regions such as the Americas, Europe, Asia-Oceania, and China. This provides an opportunity for them to receive direct guidance from Kyocera's top management and engage in mutual learning with employees from various group-related companies, deepening their understanding of Kyocera Philosophy.

* A membership-based service where members can watch lectures by Kyocera's founder, Kazuo Inamori, on their PCs, smartphones, or tablets.

Management Education

Under the management education system, we provide hierarchical training for employees who have been promoted based on the job qualification system, as well as role-based training for new managers in the organization. The hierarchical training aims to enhance interpersonal skills, influence, organizational vitality, and performance management capabilities required for mid-level employees and middle management.
The role-based training consists of two stages: one stage focuses on practical knowledge based on leadership and covers topics such as personnel evaluation and labor management, while the other stage aims to improve communication skills based on coaching techniques, further enhancing management capabilities.

Technical and Skills Education

To foster employees' specialized abilities, field expertise, and job performance, we collaborate with a distance learning institution to provide opportunities for employees to take 257 courses. Many employees participate in these courses each year.

Global Education

As our overseas sales account for approximately 90% of our total revenue, cultivating global talent is an essential task for our company. As a fundamental aspect, we prioritize English education. In addition to raising the proficiency level through e-learning and communication education utilizing smartphone apps, we offer online English conversation training classes organized according to TOEIC scores, specifically targeting employees who require English for their job tasks. Furthermore, for employees who are assigned to overseas positions, we provide pre-departure training to ensure a smooth transition and adaptation to their new living and working environment.
