Kawasaki Heavy Industries Adopts "In-house BizReach by HRMOS"

BizReach, Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo / President and CEO: Tetsuya Sakai, hereinafter "the Company") announces that "In-house BizReach by HRMOS" (hereinafter "In-house BizReach"), an internal scouting service operated by the Company to prevent talent outflow, has been adopted by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.'s Precision Machinery and Robot Company, Robot Division (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture / President and Executive Officer: Yasuhiko Hashimoto, hereinafter "Kawasaki Heavy Industries"). By adopting "In-house BizReach," Kawasaki Heavy Industries will visualize employees' skills and experience information, and utilize this data to build an organization that links external recruitment with internal transfers and reassignments, thereby promoting further business growth. ■ Background of Adoption The Robot Division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which handles the robotics business, has employees with diverse backgrounds, from new graduates to mid-career hires. However, until now, the visualization of each employee's skills and experience, as well as the skills and requirements demanded by each position (department), has not been sufficiently advanced, resulting in a lack of an information infrastructure to optimally match employees with tasks. In addition, while a different talent management system was previously utilized, in the process of promoting the visualization of employees and positions, many internal and business division-specific skills and unique expressions existed, making it difficult to uniformly define and systematize them. This issue became apparent. Based on these challenges, "In-house BizReach" was adopted to achieve flexible and advanced visualization of employees and positions through the utilization of generative AI. ■ Utilization of "In-house BizReach" at Kawasaki Heavy Industries: Employee Transfers and Assignments Linked with External Recruitment By utilizing "In-house BizReach" to automatically generate and update "internal resumes" based on resumes, goal/evaluation data, transfer history, etc., each employee's skills and experience information is constantly visualized in the latest state. At the same time, by defining job requirements for each position (department) and organizing the skills and experience necessary for task execution, it goes beyond merely accumulating skills and experience information. It matches employees' skills and experience with the needs of each position (department) based on data. This ensures diverse options, including internal transfers and reassignments utilizing potential skill and experience holders within the company, in addition to external recruitment, thereby accelerating business growth through optimal talent placement.
