SMK Global Strategy
Spans the seas and transcends national borders.
In the global movement of products, and its human resource development,
SMK's fields of activities continue to expand.
Human resource development fundamentals stress the importance of each employee striving toward his or her own personal goals, while the company supports each employee in achieving personal growth. SMK seeks to achieve sustained growth by developing such a company culture and such systems.
With business facilities in 38 sites in 16 areas
around the world, SMK hires employees without regard to nationality, age, or gender, believing that the globalization of its workforce is as essential as the global movement of products. Its human resource development programs, implemented through standard training for recruits as well as a wide range of other opportunities, applies the same outlook at all business facilities. Its skills assessment system draws on the same standards worldwide. Japanese, English, and Chinese are used as official languages in venues such as videoconferences linking all facilities together in real-time. Naturally, employees are dispatched to facilities around the world from Japan on assignment or other business travel on a daily basis, and negotiations occur at the global level. SMK's fields of activities, which span the seas and transcend national borders, continue to expand. A pool of human resources capable of operating effectively around the world will power SMK as it advances into the future.
| To promote transnational management, SMK took early action in appointing a Director and Executive Vice President from outside Japan (Paul Evans). | |||||||||||||||
