Mizuho Financial Group' s Human Resources Vision
From the Mizuho perspective, people are an organization' s most valuable asset. Indeed, people are essential for creating an unrivaled competitive position. By investing actively in personnel, we seek to raise the value of each employee, thus boosting the development of the Mizuho brand name. Our quest is to raise the “ROE on personnel investment” and create a highly appealing and motivating working environment, in order to build sustainable value. This is the Mizuho vision with respect to human resources.
Responsibility:Rigorously pursue independence and self-responsibility
We respect the independence of every employee and foster an environment in which individuals can take the initiative to enhance their careers. With an emphasis on processes and results, we urge employees to take responsibility for the outcomes of their initiatives.
Opportunity:Provide fair opportunities for all
We offer widespread and fair opportunities to all employees, whether in Japan or overseas, and actively support them in their challenges. Based on the principle of self-responsibility, we provide employees with opportunities for training and positions to exercise their acquired skills as much as possible.
Employability:Strengthen expertise to enhance competitive edge
To deliver high-value-added services to our customers, we encourage employees to obtain competition-beating skills and knowledge in markets, with an emphasis on raising their professionalism.
Mizuho Securities' Human Resources Strategies
The bedrock of the aforementioned vision is our human resources strategy. Put simply, the strategy calls for the pursuit of diversity and professionalism. We have assembled a group of professionals with a multiplicity of backgrounds, all striving to ensure the growth of Mizuho Securities.
The force that unifies such diverse individuals is an open and fair corporate culture, which has proved a valuable asset since our foundation. With a transparent management system at our core, we provide a free and fair workplace environment conducive to logical viewpoints. Employees are encouraged to demonstrate their capabilities by tackling the jobs that appeal to them, and they are rewarded properly for the results they generate. Under this corporate culture, we bestow high praise on those who pursue specialist skills, encouraging them to target growth of both themselves and the entire company. Harnessing all of these strengths will enable Mizuho Securities to perform at a high level over the long term.
We also actively exchange personnel with other Mizuho Financial Group companies. In addition to providing Groupwide synergistic benefits, such exchanges are highly significant from the viewpoint of increasing the depth of our human resource foundation.
Blessed with such high-quality human resources, we are able to regenerate our human resources within our organization, while constantly “putting the right people in the right places”. Thus, we are building a position as the market leader in the investment banking industry.
