Human resource development

Human resource development is recognized as the most crucial element for companies to achieve sustainable growth and strengthen their competitiveness. At HHRAM, based on the belief that each and every employee is an irreplaceable asset, we are developing a wide range of human resources development programs to maximize their diverse personalities and abilities.

Management by objectives (MBO)

All employees including contract ones are expected to develop their own ability through various business operations with MBO strategies applied. Among them are goal setting together with their supervisor, and having a year-end interview for evaluation feedback from their supervisor. In addition, regular interviews are scheduled for employees to get appropriate support from their own supervisor.The MBO system gives them varied career paths, engaging in job rotation if necessary.

Group training system

Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group offers the group training system to all employees who have reached important milestones, for example, when entering the company, and when taking up a new management post. HHRAM employees can also take part in the training sessions. In addition, Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group has a personnel and accounting company for all group employees, Hankyu Hanshin Business Associates, which plans and conducts seminars to support all group companies with human resource development throughout the year at Hankyu Hanshin Manabi-ba seminars, and Hankyu Hanshin Business School. The group training system, therefore, creates opportunities for group employees to develop their own self-awareness as a group member and strengthen cooperation with other group companies, and to improve themselves through competition by taking part in a group seminar for job ranking or personnel development.

Implementation of the HHRAM seminar

At HHRAM, we conduct our unique training program, the "HHRAM Seminar," for mid-career hires and seconded employees. The seminar aims to enhance their understanding of the business overview and their expertise in real estate investment management. Through this seminar, personnel from each department explain their work, practical points, and required specialized knowledge, thereby fostering the development of human resources with the desired profile for HHRAM. Additionally, by sharing knowledge across the company, the seminar contributes to improved departmental collaboration and enhanced overall organizational performance.

Support for acquiring qualifications

To foster the development of professional human resources, HHRAM has implemented a qualification acquisition incentive program. For specialized qualifications recognized as necessary for HHRAM's asset management business, including ARES Certified Master (an educational program through which individuals can systematically acquire practical expertise in real estate and finance), HHRAM covers the costs for training, examinations, and the maintenance of these qualifications.

The table below shows the number of employees holding each major professional qualification.
