Basic Approach to HR Strategies

This year marks the 150th anniversary of our founding, and we believe that we have been able to continue our business for 150 years because of our predecessors’ trustworthy brand of “friendliness” and “safety and security.” Japan Post Bank’s Purpose—“We aim for the happiness of our customers and employees, and to contribute to the development of societies and local communities”—is in line with the management philosophy of the Omi merchants, “Triple win,” and we will promote human capital management with greater awareness of our Purpose than ever before.
We believe that what is most important in this process is to ensure that every employee, the source of our competitiveness and value creation, is healthy in mind and body, and to create an environment and organizational climate in which they can maximize their abilities.
The basic concept of our human resource strategy is to build a bank that is full of life and excitement together with diverse human capital, and we have been focusing on improving engagement through such initiatives as work-style reforms, DE&I promotion, organizational climate reform, and well-being improvement.
This year marks the third year that we have embarked on full-scale human capital management. Over the past two years, our understanding of human capital management within the company has deepened and diverse work styles have become more prevalent. Our employees are taking on more challenges, and we are experiencing growth.
On the other hand, we have also come to see many challenges. One example is the expansion of areas of activity for senior human capital. To solve this issue, we have assigned eight career advisors to the Diversity and Inclusion Department this fiscal year to provide career counseling and support for career autonomy. We believe that senior human capital playing an active role by utilizing their accumulated knowledge and experience will have a positive impact on mid-career and young employees and contribute to improving the competitiveness of our company.
We are committed to investing in human capital through HR systems and career support that are linked to our management strategy so that many of our employees can feel comfortable and fulfilled in their work. Together with our employees, we will build a workplace where every employee can be full of life and excitement, and contribute to the development of our customers and the community.
