Mid-career Recruitment

To achieve its Group management policy, the IHI Group is actively pursuing mid-career candidates with skills difficult to find within the Company as diverse human resources who possess the necessary expertise for building new business models. Maintaining flexible and timely employment of human resources who have the capabilities demanded of our businesses and technological strategies is crucial in an ever-changing business environment. Our avenues to recruit human resources go beyond the regular hiring of new graduates to a variety of other channels.

Empowering Female Employees

The IHI Group executes a wide range of initiatives to help better develop the careers of all female employees. These initiatives not only recruit and develop key human resource roles to promote to middle and top management but also define various goals to build a workplace environment where everyone can actively participate. As part of our training, we set up career development opportunities for female Managers by dispatching them to seminars outside of the Company, in addition to supervisor instruction and coaching.
We also endorse the Cabinet Office’s Declaration on Action from the Male Leaders Coalition for Empowerment of Women.

Empowering Employees from Abroad

The IHI Group strives to create workplaces motivating fantastic employees to fully realize their potential regardless of their nationality. This includes broad assistance for foreign nationals working in the IHI Group. We offer a variety of training opportunities to enhance communication skills in Japanese while events such as those to encourage multicultural exchanges build broader professional networks. These are just some of the many things IHI does to promote work-friendly environments where foreign nationals can utilize all of their skills. Employees from abroad also encounter problems unique to foreign nationals. That is why IHI has put in place consultation services for employees from abroad.

Empowering Local Employees Overseas

The IHI Group is working to accelerate global expansion. Overseas, we recruit and nurture human resources with roots in the community according to the Group Human Resource Management Policy while considering the unique labor market and practices of each country. Our human resource development programs offer training to cultivate local Managers, which also strengthens our Group management capabilities. Moreover, we emphasize the development of global procurement Officers and advance training programs for local staff. In fiscal 2022 we implemented a human resource development program for management in the Asia-Pacific region in addition to a selling power improvement training program in China. In the future, we will promote even more active participation by cultivating diverse human resources throughout the Group worldwide.

Empowering Employees with Disabilities

The IHI Group strives to empower employees with disabilities, aware that everyone can reach their full potential with the right support and understanding in the workplace. For employees with disabilities in need of special assistance, we have assistance programs in place, such as specialized support staff, covering work and general aspects of company life. We also support career advancement of each employee by providing an environment conducive to growth and success.
IHI has been a member of the Accessibility Consortium of Enterprises (ACE) since fiscal 2013, and through sharing its recruitment guidelines and examples of employment with other ACE member companies, is able to resolve problems faced by employees with disabilities while helping to implement better measures regarding personnel and support corporate affiliates.

Building an Inclusive Workplace Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity

The IHI Group is creating a working environment where LGBTQ+ employees can reach their full potential. As part of our support for gender minorities, we provide employment programs, corporate dormitories, and other benefits in addition to raising awareness about gender minorities (LGBTQ+) through an ally^* program and other networking and enlightenment opportunities.
In fiscal 2022, we conducted an e-learning program titled LGTBQ—Aiming for Total Allyship. The number of allies in the IHI Group has increased to over 3,500.
In addition, IHI promotes the existence of gender minorities in society, and is a co-sponsor of the Tokyo Rainbow Pride 2023 event, which celebrates gender and lifestyle diversity.

Ally: Allies refer to people who offer understanding and support to LGBTQ+. Anyone can be an ally, even if they do not identify as LGBTQ+.

Empowering People Over 60

The IHI Group promotes the active participation of employees at retirement age in many different ways. We have adopted a program for each employee to decide when to retire between the ages of 60 to 65. Many senior employees are also taking advantage of a program that enables promotion of employees over the age of 60 to encourage people to persevere regardless of age. Programs to capitalize on the high level of expertise and skill also create a framework to better encourage employees at retirement age to play a greater role.

Hiring Fixed-term Employees as Regular Salaried Employees

IHI has put in place a system to hire fixed-term workers as regular salaried employees. This program lays a path for fixed-term employees who satisfy certain criteria to request a regular salaried position.

Employment

The IHI Group clearly defines the type of work and human resources critical to business and technical strategies that will realize its long-term business vision. This demands a strategic mix of new graduate and mid-career recruitment. We hire around the globe throughout the year while expanding the scope of our recruitment channels.

Transfer

The IHI Group rotates staff between departments, and dispatches employees to external training programs as well as to partner companies, government agencies, and startups. Our staff members also participate in joint development projects with other companies, universities, and research institutes, which are just some of the many ways in which IHI provides access to a variety of experiences and differing viewpoints.
To help facilitate the career development plans defined by each employee, we also recruit constantly from within the Group (career challenge).

Training

The IHI Group provides opportunities to gain broader experiences and an open mind through active human resource exchanges outside the organization, such as external training and events as well as participation in various academic societies.

Concurrent In-house Positions and Side Businesses Outside IHI

The IHI Group encourages everyone to gain broad experience both inside and outside the organization. We support employees to have concurrent positions inside IHI and side businesses (second jobs) outside of it in the hope of leveraging diverse viewpoints and ideas in management. For example, some of these activities include those related to participation in universities and research institutes or administrative agencies and start-ups for side businesses outside of the Company, and for concurrent in-house positions, developing and sharing applications that contend with internal and external problem-solving as well as data collection and analysis. As of fiscal 2022, our employees have registered approximately 110 different side businesses, 55 concurrent positions, and a total 130 activities.

Work-life Balance Programs and Consultation Services

The IHI Group has put in place various career-compatible programs to help employees actively participate in the Company while raising children, taking care of sick family, or undergoing treatment for an illness of their own. Examples include publishing handbooks and leaflets to raise awareness and promote use of these support programs, holding seminars by external lecturers, and setting up a consultation desk with outside experts who can provide support based on the circumstances and needs of each individual.
In addition, to strengthen our efforts regarding men’s childcare leave we are in the process of developing a handbook on balancing work and raising children that focuses on male employees. Furthermore, in support of employees wishing to have children we are distributing leaflets to raise awareness about a program that supports fertility treatment.
