Mazda utilizes the Tobiuo Human Resources System to provide the appropriate jobs and environments where each employee can demonstrate their best performance.
In concrete terms, a wide variety of measures are actively deployed based on the system's three basic pillars of "Choice and Self-Realization," "Promote Balance between Work and Life," and "Best Match of People, Work and Rewards."
Mazda provides opportunities for each employee to set his or her own work goals. This is followed up with support from the company and the employee's supervisors to help achieve the objectives.
At Mazda, opportunities for formal communication are provided for all employees through one-on-one career meetings between supervisors and their staff, held four times a year. Specific targets and broad goals expected by supervisors are combined with employees' personal goals as well as things they hope and feel obligated to achieve, enabling supervisors and their staff to understand each other and proceed to set common targets. Based on the Mazda Way, they discuss their work accomplishments and personal initiatives and efforts in order to encourage development and successful performance.
