On-the-job training supported by in-house training and self-education support programs

OMRON's employee skill development system centers on on-the-job training (OJT). Complementing the system are in-house training and self-education support programs.

A wide range of in-house training programs are available, including rank- and role-specific training courses as well as many other purpose-specific programs. To enhance the effectiveness of education and training, OMRON seeks to link these programs with other initiatives. For example, career development training designed to offer employees the opportunity to review their careers is combined with discussions with managers or advice from career advisors. The female leader training program is also combined with various support initiatives for empowering women in the workplace.

In response to the rapid aging of society, “New Life Plan Training” is provided for all employees over 59, helping them design a post-retirement lifestyle.

Aiming for constant improvement in the programs, the effectiveness of these employee education, training and self-development programs is verified through a questionnaire survey for participants, or checking the degree to which participants were able to put into practice what they learned from taking courses.

In fiscal 2011, OMRON’s long-term management strategy called “Value Generation 2020” that covers the decade until fiscal 2020 was started. Accordingly, OMRON will review its employee education system and individual training programs across the OMRON Group worldwide, making revisions when necessary to enable strengthening of global management, a key concept of the long-term strategy.
