WHI Holdings Announces Infroneer Holdings and Key Group Companies Adopt the Integrated HR System “COMPANY” and “COMPANY Talent Management” Series

WHI Holdings Inc. announced that Infroneer Holdings Inc. and its major operating companies have adopted the integrated HR system “COMPANY” and the “COMPANY Talent Management” series. Through these systems, Infroneer Holdings aims to promote talent management by utilizing workforce data and to create group-wide synergies. Infroneer Holdings was established in October 2021 through the management integration of Maeda Corporation, Maeda Road Construction, and Maeda Seisakusho. Japan Renewable Energy Development joined the group in 2024, followed by Sumitomo Mitsui Construction in 2025, rapidly expanding the group’s business scale and fields. To evolve into a “comprehensive infrastructure service company,” the group must optimally allocate the advanced technologies, expertise, and diverse human resources held by each company across the group and maximize the value created by each employee. However, because each group company had previously operated its own HR system, group-wide talent management had been difficult. To unify its talent information platform and visualize data in real time, Infroneer Holdings adopted the integrated HR system “COMPANY” as the workforce data foundation for six companies, including major operating companies, covering approximately 10,000 employees. The company cited several reasons for the adoption: broad functional coverage across HR areas, from onboarding procedures and HR management to payroll, attendance management, and talent management; intuitive UI/UX; a strong track record as a workforce platform for group management; and standard functions for major Japanese enterprises, along with AI functions usable in HR operations and expected future feature expansion. By introducing “COMPANY,” the HR information of approximately 10,000 employees managed by group companies will be integrated, establishing a workforce data foundation capable of aggregating and analyzing information such as basic employee data, qualifications, and past construction project experience in real time. By also using the “COMPANY Talent Management” series, the group will be able to understand employees’ experience and skills from multiple perspectives based on the latest HR data, supporting more advanced and faster review and decision-making for optimal personnel assignment to specific construction sites and projects. By accurately understanding human resources and encouraging cross-company project execution and talent mobility, Infroneer Holdings will accelerate the creation of group-wide synergies as a comprehensive infrastructure service company covering the full value chain from upstream to downstream. In addition to creating synergies through talent exchange, the system is expected to standardize operational workflows while maintaining each company’s own rules and regulations, helping unify corporate operations and reduce the burden of complex procedures and data processing associated with secondments and concurrent assignments across the group. Infroneer Holdings’ Human Resources Strategy Department and Business Reform Department commented that through the use of “COMPANY” and the “COMPANY Talent Management” series, the group aims to realize optimal talent management as set out in its medium-term management plan, while creating an environment where each employee can autonomously build a diverse career and fully demonstrate their strengths. The company also expects the systems to contribute significantly to standardizing and improving the efficiency of corporate operations and enhancing employee convenience, generating synergies with ongoing group-wide business reforms. Through cross-group talent utilization and back-office reform, Infroneer Holdings aims to create further synergies, provide long-term corporate value to employees and all other stakeholders, and contribute to the creation of social value. WHI Holdings stated that it will continue working toward a society where everyone who works can fully demonstrate their true value through the provision of the integrated HR system “COMPANY.” The “COMPANY Talent Management” series, also known as CTM2.0, is a talent management system provided by the “COMPANY” series, an integrated HR system used by one in three major corporations in Japan. It is optimized for the organizational needs unique to Japanese corporations and covers functions essential to human capital management, including talent visualization, evaluation, development, transfers and placement, and workforce planning. With HR-specialized generative AI and UI/UX that can be used easily by everyone from frontline employees to executives, the series accelerates both organizational decision-making and individual growth.
