Anticipated Needs

• Although we have a talent review rocess in place, we want to improve the way we identify future potential.

• Through internal mentoring, we want to enable those being developed to receive advice from mentors based on real work experience.

• Our global performance review process has not been well received in Japan, and we want to improve it to be more in line with the original intention.
   
• There is inconsistency in the way performance appraisals are conducted, leading to a sense of unfairness. We want to improve appraisal skills.
   
• Many employees have a negative perception of feedback, and we want to improve the way it's given and received.
   
• There's no consistency in the way job interviews are conducted, and recruitment standards vary from person to person. We want to move to a more effective recruitment process.
