New Graduate Hiring (Non-Consolidated)

We inform candidates of the type of person we are looking for, the steps in our hiring process, and the timing of each step. Also, we assign young employees as recruiting partners to give candidates a real-life picture of our company.

Mid-Career Hiring (Non-Consolidated)

We recruit broadly via the Internet, with no age restrictions. We explain clearly and specifically the job duties of the positions we seek to fill.

Internships (arranged jointly with the Group companies)

In response to the wishes of schools and students seeking experience in the working world, we provide students with opportunities to gain work experience. In the fiscal year 2021, long-term internships included 33 students in a business course on two themes and ten students in a technical course on four themes, and 3,875 students participated in short-term workshop events. All events were held online to prevent COVID-19 infections.
(*These internships do not directly lead to regular employment.)

DNP Value Objectives （DVO System）

To realize "cultivation of team spirit," "visualization of processes and results," and "autonomous career support" as management in the New Normal era, we have transformed the conventional MBO system into the DVO (DNP Value Objectives) system, where in addition to KPI-based organizational objectives, we have set team objectives based on the autonomy and independence of individuals and teams. By operating the DVO system using the objectives, a team meeting and one-on-one meeting as a set, we aim to build trust in the organization and create value.

In-House Recruiting System

To effectively utilize human resources and invigorate our organization, we promote open recruitment within the Group of experienced human resources with specialized skills for developing products, technologies, businesses and new solutions in accordance with the DNP Group’s business strategies. In this way, we provide employees with opportunities for independently selecting a workplace.

Self-Reporting System

This is a system under which employees envision their own career development while self-realization steps and workplace transfers desired by the employee to achieve this are entered onto a "self-reporting form" and reported to their superior once a year. This system also spurs the desire of employees toward self-development and enables them to acquire independent practical skills while raising the awareness of managers regarding guidance for and development of their subordinates.

FA System

This system enables employees to improve their own careers by proactively seeking job transfers from across the DNP Group companies to jobs and departments that are different from the present.

In-House Study Abroad System

This is a system under which employees, based on their own intentions, accumulate experience in other departments for a certain period of time and then return to their original departments and expand the range of work handled while raising quality utilizing the experience and knowledge and skills acquired in these other departments.

System for Encouragement of Qualification Acquisition

This system pays incentives to employees who successfully acquire specialized knowledge, skills, or qualifications needed for their jobs (covers about 130 types of qualifications, up to 100,000 yen).

Specialist Work System

This system provides special compensation to employees who possess an extremely high level of outstanding specialties and who are highly valued inside and outside of the company. Though we had titles Fellow and Chief Specialist depending on the level of the specialty in the past, we have added Principal Specialist since FY2021, resulting in three stages for the titles in total.

• Fellow
  Those Chief Specialists with outstanding character who have earned socially authoritative awards and those who have made remarkable achievements are certified as fellows. We expect that this will encourage employees to pursue a career path toward the achievement of fellow, the top title in the specialist work system.
• Chief Specialist (Chief Researcher, Chief Planner, Chief Engineer)
  We accept certification applications for self-recommendations and other recommendations once a year from employees who utilize their extremely high degree of expertise and work actively inside and outside the company and evaluate and certify them based on Certification Standards set for outcomes, external evaluations, internal evaluations, and competency evaluation.
• Principal Specialist (Principal Researcher, Principal Planner, Principal Engineer)
  We certify employees who utilize their high degree of expertise and work actively in each department once a year.

ICT Professional System

This system appropriately treats and motivates ICT professionals such as by providing a special allowance to project managers who handle projects of a certain size or larger.

Career Counseling Center

We have built a system that provides counseling support regarding how to think and approach career development.

Meister System

Introduced in 2001, this system is focused on our manufacturing technicians who possess valuable professional skills. This system is geared to getting back to the roots of the manufacturing industry by recognizing the importance of professional skills and thereby providing training, evaluation, and benefits. Among the three requirements for Meister certification consisting of "specialized knowledge, skills, and creativity," "reputation and trust," and "leadership," we have positioned "leadership" as a particularly important evaluation item given that the purpose of the system is to hand down skills.

Award System

As a company-wide performance-related award, we have established the DNP Award to recognize outstanding activities from the perspective of “value creation.” Regarding awards that honor many years of work, we provide a 10-year service award, 25-year service award, and retirement award as Anniversary Awards.
