Fostering internationally competent talent is essential in achieving our sustainable growth for 100 years and beyond.
We will train our employees to become able to bring about an age of change, and work globally based on the three attitudes, “Passion, Enthusiasm, Tenacity,” “Working hard and smart,” and “Do it now; do it without hesitation; do it until completed.”
Global Human Resources that Nidec Seeks
As the Nidec Group aims to achieve sales of 10 trillion yen in FY2030 as a global company, it places paramount importance on training its employees to be able to work globally. Those who can focus only on specific areas such as Japan and Asia cannot work with the entire world. Globalization is about interacting with different cultures and establishing diversity. The Nidec Group thinks that the following three capabilities are especially required of people to be able to work globally:
At our Global Training Center, we train employees to acquire these three capabilities.
Global Human Resources Training Program
To train employees to become managers and leaders and run Nidec as a global company that grow sustainably for the next 100 years, we launched a Nidec Global Business School in FY2016, followed by a Next-generation Manager Training Program in FY2017 to train employees to be candidates for the school early enough. So far, 152 employees from 14 countries around the world (Japan, the US, Canada, Mexico, China, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, India, Italy, Germany, France, the UK, and Poland) have completed the training in either of the programs, and are working successfully as global leaders in their countries and regions.
In addition, we constantly hold the Nagamori Business School hosted by Mr. Nagamori, our company’s founder, to train employees to be his successors.

“The Challenging Road”
The booklet that describes Mr. Nagamori’s business
and action philosophies, as well as
Nidec’s business policies and the Nagamori-ism
In addition, the company sent “The Challenging Road,” the book filled with Mr. Nagamori’s philosophies and behavioral principles, all over the world in 12 languages (Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Hungarian, and Slovak) to convey the Nidec Policy and the Nagamori-ism to employees.
Establishing the “Nidec Way”
In January 2015, the Nidec Group established “Nidec Way,” a set of action guidelines and rules for all of its employees to share. As an enterprise that had grown via M&A to be in business in more than 30 countries back then, we needed such basic policies as Nidec entered its second phase of rapid growth in its attempt to expand business to become a “global company that will grow sustainably for the next 100 years and beyond.”
At any organization, its driving force is its individual employees’ actions. However, the larger the organization becomes, the more difficult it becomes for the organization to unite its employees’ diversifying interests. Thus, “Nidec Way,” comprised of three sections, i.e., “Core Belief,” “Mind-set,” and “Action,” teaches Nidec Group employees how to be untied in an easy-to-understand manner.
When producing the booklet on Nidec Way, we launched an across-the-board project team to relearn the philosophies of Mr. Nagamori, Nidec’s founder, from their very basic concepts, and collect examples from the world’s excellent companies. It was in this production process where we became convinced that “Backbone and Tenacity,” a truly critical notion in our actions, is a universal element that had supported and would continue to support, Nidec’s growth as a company, and decided to incorporate this notion in “Nidec Way” as a code of conduct.
We educated our employees to help them understand “Nidec Way” and promote its use in the group, and introduced a Nidec Way-based behavioral assessment to ensure all Nidec employees act based on the policy.
Going forward, we will ensure that all Nidec Group employees fully understand, sympathize with, and exercise “Nidec Way” via work, education, and seminars, so that the Nidec Group remains a “global company that grows sustainably for the next 100 years and beyond.”
