Human resources system

IIJ has established a human resources system consisting of a Role and Grade System, Evaluation System, and Compensation System. Through these systems, we aim to support the growth of each employee and sustain innovation as an organization, by ensuring contributions and achievements are appropriately rewarded.

We provide a growth environment that enables employees to become capable contributors to IIJ while also realizing their own potential through their work.

This system allows employees to participate in interesting jobs in other departments. They can work at these jobs for about 20% of their prescribed working hours for half of the year. This system aims to promote employee growth and autonomous career development, leading to self-fulfillment through the establishment of an environment that enables employees to have diverse experiences.
