The Evolution to Professional Talent
With the accelerating spread of digital transformation (DX) globally, Konica Minolta has been transforming its business from a product-oriented approach to a service-oriented approach that leverages images and data, seeking to continue growing as a company that is needed by society.
We believe that the most important asset to firmly establish this is the Company’s talent. In other words, what Konica Minolta looked for in talent in the past was the ability and skill to effectively utilize the assets of its product-oriented business, such as its production facilities. On the other hand, to develop a service-oriented business that leverages the power of digital technology, each employee must possess superior knowledge, expertise, and unique skills, understand individual customer issues, and act and think independently to solve problems in an environment without precedent; in other words, it requires professional talent.
For professional talent to perform at their very best as a group, it is necessary to both foster an organizational climate and culture to enable it, and to build systems and operations that elicit the strengths of each individual. We can maximize the performance of the organization by attracting, developing, and gaining the active participation of diverse talent based on these initiatives.
Key Indicator for Maximizing Talent
Konica Minolta is implementing various initiatives to maximize the development and utilization of professional talent, which is responsible for the Company's sustainable growth. To measure the effectiveness of these efforts, the Company conducts an annual global survey called "Your Voice" to score employee engagement. The following goal has been set:
Engagement
Goal: The engagement score* will reach the top 25% in the industry by fiscal 2030.
| Results | Goals | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2030 | |
| Engagement score | 6.4 | 6.6 | 6.8 | 6.8 | 7.7 (Industry average) |
Top 25% in industry |
* Your Voice (Global Employee Survey: responses on a 0-10 scale) refers to the average score for the question: "How likely are you to recommend working at Konica Minolta to someone outside the Company?" (There was a misstatement in the wording of the question disclosed in FY2022 and FY2023, which has since been corrected. The same question has been used for evaluation since fiscal 2021.)
The survey helps identify engagement levels and their drivers, allowing each workplace to focus on key areas and apply insights to the next round of initiatives.
