Nagoya City University Adopts "COMPANY Talent Management" Series to Achieve Optimal Personnel Placement Leveraging Individual Staff Skills and Experience

WHI Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomotaro Anzai) is pleased to announce that Public University Corporation Nagoya City University (Location: Nagoya, Aichi; Chairperson: Kenjiro Kohri; hereinafter "Nagoya City University") has adopted the "COMPANY Talent Management" series (hereinafter "CTM2.0"), a talent management product within the integrated HR system "COMPANY."

With this adoption, Nagoya City University will aggregate and visualize information such as staff backgrounds and career aspirations to streamline and enhance personnel transfer operations, while achieving strategic personnel placement that maximizes the potential of every employee.

Background of Adopting the "COMPANY Talent Management" Series

In its "NCU Future Plan 2021," Nagoya City University aims to "create an organization that can flexibly adapt to social changes and diversification," promoting the development of an environment where each faculty and staff member can fully exercise their abilities, alongside strategic human resource development and placement. As the environment surrounding university management changes rapidly, "the right person in the right place"—aligning organizational needs with the individual expertise and career aspirations of staff—is essential for sustainable growth. However, the creation of transfer proposals previously relied heavily on the memory and manual work of HR representatives, who had to integrate information from the HR system with field interviews. As the number of staff increased, so did the burden on those in charge. Consequently, resolving dependencies on specific individuals and standardizing the process became urgent priorities.

To address these issues and improve overall organizational performance, Nagoya City University decided to adopt CTM2.0 to achieve efficient placement based on objective data and high employee acceptance. Key factors in the selection included the ability to utilize the talent data foundation accumulated in the "COMPANY" personnel management product, which has served as the core HR system for approximately 20 years, and the benefit of using a talent management system from the same series to leverage the latest data without the effort of duplicate management.

Expected Effects

1. Streamlining and Systematizing Personnel Transfer Deliberations

Previously, information for considering transfers was scattered across various locations outside the system, such as field interview results, paper documents, and spreadsheets, in addition to the data in the "COMPANY" personnel management product. This fragmentation led to a complicated information-gathering process before drafting transfer proposals, placing a heavy load on staff. By centralizing all this information on CTM2.0, tasks like listing candidates for transfer or vacancies—which previously took a significant amount of time—can now be performed instantly on the system. Furthermore, transfer simulations can be conducted using intuitive drag-and-drop operations. Since changes can be reviewed while visually confirming the balance before and after the move, the time spent by HR representatives on transfer deliberations will be significantly reduced.
