Together with Employees (Human Resource Development)

The LINTEC Group prepares educational programs tailored to Employees’ work assignments and abilities and strives to develop competent human resources.

Concept of Human Resource Development

LINTEC has introduced a human resource development program for the professional development of workers exhibiting “pyramid-shaped” competency, comprising expertise supported by broad knowledge and sense. The program not only increases workers’ skills but also maximizes individuals’ motivation and supports their self-motivated career design*. It continues to evolve as an “autonomous development” training system based on employee feedback. The latest training programs are divided into two categories: rank-based and theme-based.
Rank-based programs are targeted at: new hires, third-year follow-ups, fifth-year follow-ups, new supervisors, and new managers. These programs aim to build the business skills and mindset necessary for each rank.
In the theme-based category, a number of new programs are introduced every year in response to recent changes in society. In fiscal 2022, such programs were organized for legal training, young salespersons training, diversity training, harassment prevention to improve the workplace environment, and telework management training. In addition, correspondence courses for various business skills are provided to mid-level employees and new manager candidates preparing for promotion.

  • Career design refers to the planning of one’s own career so as to use one’s own abilities by taking into account one’s own experiences, skills, and ideal future.

Rank-based Training and Career Planning

Aiming at developing people who can contribute to the growth of the company and society, LINTEC, as part of its human resources training, has introduced company-wide rank-based training programs that allow individual employees with diverse values to realize their personal growth according to the current stage of their career building, starting from training for new employees provided when they join the company (young salespersons, new section chief, new manager).
Through the training programs, LINTEC supports individuals in both skill acquisition and career design*.
As part of personnel development efforts, each employee has an interview with their supervisor twice a year to receive feedback on performance and activity evaluations, which helps them maintain and increase their motivation.
The Human Resources Department organizes interview sessions for employees in their fourth and seventh year with the company in order to support their career development. This is to provide an opportunity for individual employees to discuss with the company various issues related to career building.

  • Career design refers to the planning of one’s own career so as to use one’s own abilities by taking into account one’s own experiences, skills, and ideal future.
