INTERVIEW
  1. Previous job industry/work

    As a new graduate, I joined a foreign luxury group that manages multiple brands of watches and jewelry, and after a year of on-the-job training in sales administration at a street-level store, I was in charge of human resource development and training in the business division that oversees e-commerce and the human resources headquarters. I also worked in an HRBP team dedicated to a specific jewelry brand, handling procedures related to joining and leaving the company, transfers, new graduate recruitment, and labor management for temporary workers, and gained a wide range of experience in the human resources field for about four years, before moving to GLOBIS.
    In my previous job, I had many opportunities to work with company executives as a human resources manager, and I realized that the values and decisions of executives have a major impact on Organization culture and business. I have been able to experience firsthand how the way management is managed affects the entire company, and I still use this experience in my current job.

  2. Why did you decide to join GLOBIS?

    I majored in human resources management from my university days, and was particularly interested in changing Organization culture and promoting diversity. However, while gaining a wide range of experience in the human resources field in my previous job, I realized that "human resource training and development" in particular was an area where I could directly approach the mindset of the people who make up Organization, and I began to want to further develop my expertise.
    I decided to join GLOBIS because I thought I could contribute to the growth of more people and Organization, as the company has a track record of doing business with over 85% of the Nikkei 225 companies (as of 2024). I was attracted to the idea of being involved in value creation on a large scale, where individual transformation drives corporate growth and has an impact on society as a whole, something that cannot be achieved by a human resources manager at a single company.
    Also, as I went through many steps during the selection process, such as interviews and essay submissions, I realized that everyone I met during my interviews spent a lot of time with me personally, carefully assessing how I would fit with the company, and I got the impression that this is a good company that values the individual.

  3. Gap felt before and after joining GLOBIS

    When I first joined GLOBIS, the life event of getting married coincided with the training program I was in charge of (held in a weekend camp format once a month from September to March), so I was worried about whether I would be able to balance my work and personal life.
    However, at GLOBIS, there is a philosophy that says, "Put yourself first, then your family, then your work" (this is also the words of our CEO, Hori), and my team leaders and team members all said, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so enjoy it!" Supported by these words, I was able to focus on my private life without worry, even when I needed time off for my wedding.
    I was also surprised to see that there was an environment in the company where people could talk freely about their families and personal lives, and that a culture of mutual respect even outside of work was deeply rooted throughout the company. The fact that a culture with a higher level of psychological safety had been built was a positive surprise.

  4. What is your current job?

    I belong to the "Strategic Project Promotion Office" in the Corporate Training Department, and while I am in charge of some of the projects within the department, I am also mainly involved in planning and running the executive program "Chimeishachu." Specifically, in addition to designing and running the training operations for current students, I am also involved in building ongoing relationships and communities with all participants, including those who have graduated.
    The participants of Chimeishachu are corporate executives and managers, the people who drive Japanese business. One of the great attractions of this job is being able to witness such outstanding leaders earnestly learning from each other, actively exchanging opinions, and acquiring new perspectives and knowledge. In particular, at the management vision presentations by the participants, which are held as the culmination of the seven-month training, you can see them speak passionately about their respective industries and companies, and get a real sense of the huge impact their efforts will have on Japanese society.
    In addition to steadily preparing for the training and smoothly running it on the day, another important role of the secretariat is to build a relationship of trust with the participants. Through such involvement, we feel a great sense of fulfillment in supporting an important opportunity to build a better future by experiencing the passion and determination of Japanese leaders, and we aim to provide even more value through the program.

  5. What I want to achieve in my future career

    I believe that "Chimeishachu" is a wonderful program that can provide participants with added value beyond the scope of their work and into their lives. By spreading awareness of the program to companies where the benefits and appeal of the program are not yet known, I hope to contribute to the growth of many managers.
    In addition, it is a privilege to attend lectures by lecturers who are leading experts in their fields while working on the program. However, I feel that I do not currently have enough knowledge or skills to digest the content of lectures at that level. First of all, I would like to start by learning from scratch what a manager is and what management is, and get even a little closer to the perspective that the other participants have.
    In the future, I would like to utilize my current experience to improve my strategic thinking and project management skills so that I can take the initiative in planning conferences and summits, developing content for training programs, and so on.

  6. Episodes that felt "GLOBIS-like"

    Everyone who works at GLOBIS seems to embody the "Individual Discretion and Responsibility" and excel, which makes every day exciting and sometimes pressuring, but at GLOBIS, I was able to take the time to talk about things that were not directly related to work, which was a place that changed my way of thinking.
    When I chatted with many people, not only seniors on the same team, but also managers of other teams, and frankly revealed my worries about how to face work, I was able to learn about the way of thinking that each of us values in our work, and there was a moment when I realized that I was being overly overwhelmed by myself.
    At GLOBIS, there are many opportunities to meet and interact with many people both inside and outside the department, and I think that the appeal of GLOBIS is that there is a system and culture that allows individuals to demonstrate even higher performance with peace of mind with the help of such "off-site" powers.

MESSAGE

Message for those who are thinking about job change to GLOBIS

GLOBIS has many employees with a strong desire to grow and come from diverse backgrounds.There are many people in the company who give lectures while raising children, and people who work hard while enjoying hobbies and club activities. Each of them builds a career while valuing what they value.

In addition, Chimeishachu is a valuable place for management to learn from each other, and the management members have an environment where they can learn from the executives' perspectives up close. It is not just an administrative office, but it is also attractive that we can be involved in a wide range of activities, from training management to building relationships with participants and forming a community.

If you want to help evolve this program that contributes to the growth of executives and invigorates Japan, we look forward to your application!
