Reforming Personnel Systems to Address the Work Style Reforms from NTN

A selection of working styles and use of a new system to create a lively workplace for everyone

NTN Corporation (hereafter, NTN) will take the opportunity of its 100th anniversary in March this year to reform its personnel system with the aim of providing greater flexibility for an increasingly diverse sense of values and lifestyles. These reforms to the personnel system will be implemented with the aim of introducing a new system for employees and revising standards for promotional and evaluation standards, as well as encouraging female and senior employees to take on more active roles as part of efforts to expand the overall employee base.

While there are growing concerns in Japan that the decreasing birthrate and aging population will lead to a lack of workforce, there is a growing sense of diversity in values throughout society, and the government is focusing on “Work Style Reform.” More than ever, companies are required to and provide an environment where employees can select work styles based on each employee's values to fully utilize their skills. NTN is taking this opportunity to reform the personnel systems that it had in place to ensure that each employee can achieve a better work-life balance and to create a work environment where they can apply their skills in full. This will help to boost productivity and achieve sustainable growth for the next 100 years.
