Human Resource Development

Policy and Basic Concept

Eisai has continued efforts to push the growth of our employees, who are the nexus for realizing hhc. The success of our employees in turn, has led to the growth of our business. Amidst rapid environment changes and an uncertain future outlook, we are actively seeking to deepen our current business while exploring and creating new ventures that go beyond our existing framework. To achieve this, we encourage our employees to take control of their own careers, stimulate their willingness to take on challenges, and provide a supportive system to help them achieve self-fulfillment.

Targets, Issues and Actions

To nurture talented individuals who can grow by building their careers autonomously, and taking on challenges, we are working on establishing a diverse training system. This system provides opportunities for employees to revisit their own careers to clarify their future goals and acquire and apply the necessary skills and experiences aligned with their individual visions for the future. To shift towards a training system that offers opportunities for individualized learning and challenges, based on personal preferences and specific needs, we have been implementing various initiatives under the name of “Learning Reform.” These efforts aim to foster employees’ autonomous growth and provide a platform for them to choose and pursue their own learning styles.

Structures and Systems

Eisai has a number of programs that support proactive career development and cross-divisional interactions within and outside the company, enabling employees to expand the field of vision, enhance their expertise, and develop their careers on their own by utilizing a variety of programs in addition to their daily work.

■ Providing Opportunity for Learning/Challenges

Learning Style Reform Program (For all employees)
This is a selective training program to create opportunities for every employee to challenge and learn on their own initiatives and responsibilities. (Approximately 140 types of training content)
We are implementing this program with the aim of having employees learn from each other with people outside the company, and to foster human talents with new values, added values, and diversity. (Total participations: 342 employees in FY2022)

EKKYO (Internal Internship) Program
This is an internal internship program that allows employees to learn about jobs outside their own organization, without a personnel transfer.
The program is designed not only to provide employees with information on various organizations, but also to give them an opportunity to think about work processes, the significance of their work, and what they want to be in the future by placing themselves in an environment that is different from their usual work place. (Participation: 82 employees in from 11 organizations FY2023)
