Medium to long term objectives

What are the medium to long term goals at kaonavi?

The industrial environment in Japan is undergoing rapid change. Our aim at kaonavi, and our core purpose as an organization, is to utilize technology to transform the way companies interact with their people, and in turn transform the way societies operate.
In order to fundamentally change the way societies operate, we must strive for nonlinear growth driven by innovation, rather than the traditional model of linear growth. We should also be looking to expand the business portfolio in line with the HR data platform strategy, for example, through new product development and M&A initiatives.

To fulfill our core purpose, we need to not only expand our workforce but also boost our capacity to generate added value.
How can we best utilize our human capital, and how can we generate more added value from every employee?

To begin with, investment in human capital should be firmly geared toward innovation. It is important to provide employees with new challenges and growth opportunities. Working at a growth venture, where talented people have room to excel regardless of role or department, provides invaluable experience in terms of career progression.
It is essential to put in place appropriate support mechanisms for personal growth so that employees can make the most of the opportunities that come their way.
In addition to maintaining good lines of communication on a day-to-day basis, we use growth-based personnel structures and training and development programs to help maximize the added value of each and every employee. We are building a corporate culture where individual employee growth provides the driving force to propel the organization forward.

Employers are currently having difficulty finding competent and talented workers, particularly in fields such as engineering.
What is the kaonavi recruitment policy?

We are actively hiring across all categories as we look to expand and consolidate. The current worker shortage is likely to bring heightened competition for workers, including in the recruitment industry.
At kaonavi, we believe it is important to clearly articulate our purpose of social transformation, as well as explaining what we do and how we work and outlining the career prospects that employees can expect. We like to emphasize the enormous opportunities for growth alongside the social significance of our enterprise.

Expectations of
Unique Performers

So what sort of people are Unique Performers, and how do they help us to achieve our business goals?

Unique Performers are strongly committed to personal growth and choose to work autonomously, fueled by the desire to deliver outstanding outcomes. What we expect from them is genuine innovation with the power to transform the very specifications of markets and wider society. Innovation never comes from a homogeneous group. Diversity and differing perspectives within groups is a key factor for success in business.

So why does kaonavi assert that human capital is predicated on culture and values?

Given our emphasis on diversity of views and perspectives, it is important to also articulate a common and uniting vision. This is our purpose, which is achieved by a common set of values that permeate through the organization:

We "Value Integrity," acting with honesty, sincerity and integrity towards clients, coworkers and other stakeholders. We "Use our working experience to drive growth" as an autonomous individual to boost personal value. We "Go above and beyond the customer perspective" to identify the root issues, without being constrained or misled by superficial needs. We strive always to "Keep polishing systems," to improve and optimize all processes, without being bound by past successes. We debate, strategize, and "Win as a team," generating spectacular outcomes that no single person could achieve alone. At kaonavi, these are the five core shared values that underpin and shape our decision-making as well as the day-to-day operations of the organization.

Although our values are constantly being fine-tuned in accordance with the environment in which we operate, the core essence remains unchanged.

How does kaonavi support Unique Performers to perform at their best?

The company has an obligation to provide a good workplace environment in which employees who bring a diverse range of skills, backgrounds and perspectives are free to concentrate on the task at hand. Our career programs and support frameworks are predicated on the understanding that every individual is unique, a key pillar of our HR strategy.

So what are our main challenges in HR?

Firstly, the growth of our people may not be able to keep up with the pace of business growth. We do not have enough managers, who represent the key to organizational stability and effectiveness. So we are devoting more resources into training managers from within our ranks. We also need to do more on the diversity front, particularly regarding numbers of female managers and non-Japanese employees. We believe that diversity is directly tied to business growth, so this will be a key focus of our HR strategy.

Be an exemplary
role model for
human capital reporting

Why is kaonavi committed to human capital reporting?

There are two main reasons behind our strong commitment to human capital reporting.

The first reason is that we want our employees to better understand the company, and we also want to attract people to work for us. Our ideal at kaonavi is for the company and its people to function as equals in a relationship of mutual engagement, while at the same time celebrating individuality. We actively share information about human resource management practices for the simple reason that we want people to know about kaonavi and we want people to choose kaonavi. The information provided on this website acts as an entry point to the mutual engagement relationship. It sets out our aspirations as a company, and the working arrangements and growth opportunities that we provide.

Working people regard information such as company brochures, sales figures and industry rankings as piecemeal details that do little to tell us what a company is really like on the inside. Full disclosure of our human resource management practices helps us to attract the right types of people who we are confident can contribute to kaonavi. It also makes it clear to those who do not share our values that they may not fit in here and should look elsewhere.

The other compelling reason for human capital reporting is that it provides a template for the HR department. Given that kaonavi is in the talent management industry, we have an unparalleled commitment to human capital reporting, as evidenced by this very website.

We hope you enjoy looking through our distinctive website, which systematically lays out the story of our HR strategy predicated on values and culture, together with the relevant KPIs. You will surely agree that there is an exciting future ahead for kaonavi.
