Basic Approach
Personnel are Mizuho's most important business resource – the unrivaled cornerstone of the group's competitive advantage. We believe that enhancing the value of each and every employee through proactive investment in human resources will lead to the creation of permanent value for Mizuho. Our vision for human resources is to improve what we call ROE Qualities – responsibility, opportunity and employability – and create appealing, fulfilling workplaces in order to bring about enduring value.
Corporate Culture Full of Vitality
Having defined "Mizuho Values" as "possessing a 'customer–first' corporate objective," "facing the challenges of innovation," "being rational and fair in making decisions," "placing importance on speed," and "being accountable for all actions," we are working, through tools like our personnel evaluation and the 360–degree employee performance evaluation*, to instill these values in all Group employees as the common conceptual underpinnings of the attitudes and conduct we exercise in performing our work.
- *Personnel evaluation scheme whereby personal evaluation of managers involve subordinates and persons from other divisions with whom they have close working relation ship
