Approach

The Lion Group provides a wide variety of learning opportunities to enhance the knowledge and abilities of its employees so that each individual can contribute to the realization of its management vision. Furthermore, beyond the development of individual skills and careers, we are striving to enhance both individual and organizational capabilities by bolstering management skills and fostering next-generation management personnel to produce results for the organization as a whole.

Overview of Efforts

The Company will develop skills in three main areas: “Role-specific Fundamental Skills,” which are designed to enhance employees’ ability to achieve results in accordance with their roles within the organization; “Field-specific Specialized Skills,” which are designed to reinforce the knowledge and skills of each individual in their area of expertise; and “Company-wide Common Skills,” namely, skills required of all Lion employees.

Representative Initiatives

Improving Employee Problem-Solving Skills

Our “Role-Specific Fundamental Skills Development Program” has been introduced on a Company-wide basis with the aim of fostering employees’ ability to independently think and act based on their understanding of the roles they play in achieving organizational goals. The program is designed to enhance four key competencies: problem formulation, willingness to solve problems, ability to doubt and logical thinking. Competence in these areas is recognized as producing results in line with the standards required at each level, from management to non-management positions.

Fostering the Next Generation of Management Talent to Drive Vision 2030

This purpose of this program is to select and train the next generation of leaders capable of envisioning the future of the Lion Group from a long-term perspective and drawing out the dynamism of the entire organization. Through a practical curriculum that not only includes short-term training at business schools overseas to strengthen management literacy and deepen understanding of the Lion Group's history and management strategy but also offers new perspectives to executives seeking to realize the management vision, personnel from Japan and overseas are encouraged to take on leading roles in realizing the management vision.

Assessing and Improving Individual Expertise

We are also engaged in cross-organizational human resource development and career development for each “job group,” a collection of occupations and functional areas, with the aim of fostering highly specialized professional human resources capable of creating value in a globally competitive environment. The job groups are divided into nine specialized areas, and programs are developed to enhance professional knowledge and skills in each area.

* A job group is a cross-organizational classification of specialties that bundles functions and job types requiring similar expertise. It is established for career paths with defined specialized areas and serves as a category for implementing capability development within specialized fields, aimed at cultivating professional talent.
