Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) - Yamaha - Global

Job-Tailored Training and Education
Yamaha believes that creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the employee
and the Company inspires motivation. Therefore, the Company works to create a system
that is equally focused on education and training and career development. Each training
program is tailored to a specific objective in one of the following categories:Strategic
Personnel Development, Function-Specific Training,Stratified Training, and Self-
Development Education.
The Strategic Personnel Development program includes the flagship Yamaha Global
Institute, which aims to mold the personnel who will be the backbone of the Company in
the future, both in Japan and overseas. Another program designed to cultivate the next
generation of core employees is the Yamaha Advanced Skill School, held at production
facilities in Japan. The Function-Specific Training program trains employees in core
technologies, Monozukuri Education seminars and international awareness. The Stratified
Training program, meanwhile, provides training at career turning points, such as when an
employee has been promoted or made a manager. Finally, in the Self-Development
Education program, Yamaha provides support for employees' self-directed studies, including
through the Yamaha Business School, a distance learning-based program.
Yamaha also provides employees approaching the age of 50 opportunities and
information to help them consider their individual life paths, and offers "Life Design
Seminars" to support their future careers.
Going forward, Yamaha will further strengthen its programs for providing each employee
with the highly specialized job-specific training and education they need to perform at a
higher level in fulfilling the Yamaha values of being customer-oriented and qualityconscious.
