Leadership training program for female employees

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan believes that diverse human resources are the source of realizing the "Business as usual is not an option", and has established systems to realize diverse work styles. CCBJI promotes active roles of female employees as one element of diversity, and provides them with development opportunities to become a powerful engine for the company's growth.

In the three leadership trainings that are conducted in each level targeting selected female employees, participants draw their future ideal states as career visions, having understood their strengths and challenges, and foster skills and mindset to realize such visions. At the same time, we also provide the female employees' supervisors who will be the biggest supporters and sponsors of their success with trainings.
And participants network each other to share their career concerns and challenges for balancing between various life events and work, and increase fellows with whom they raise their awareness and improve their skills together.

Career support

For the purpose of encouraging each and every employee to proactively think about their own career and their supervisors to support their capability development to achieve them, we conduct the Career Plan/Development Plan once a year. In the Career Plan, employees examine their short-term/mid-term careers they aim for, including their desire to transfer, health, and family situation, etc. In the Development Plan, employees identify their own strengths and capabilities that need to be developed in the job, and develop action plans and conduct regular reviews with their supervisors. Through regular reviews with their supervisors, we are creating a mechanism to be able to realize careers that are unique to them.

We have established a reward system to support each employee's "I want to learn!", and are rolling out about 500 different courses.
