In line with NK’s medium-term policy of accelerating global deployment, PKII has recently facilitated the development of the Nippon Koei Group (NKG) Human Resources (HR) database system, which is an online tool for searching and managing qualified experts for NKG projects. Presented to NK Headquarters in Tokyo in May and officially launched in June this year, the database currently holds the profiles of more than 600 professionals and consultants of PKII, NK India, Indokoei and Thaikoei, which the NKG, primarily NK technical departments, can propose and engage in their upcoming projects. Remarkable features of the system include secured access to experts’ records by authorized NKG users; control, monitoring and management of experts’ information by designated local database administrators; online registration by interested new consultants; and online updating of personal and professional details by registered experts themselves, among others.

Having pioneered this innovation, PKII acts as the chief administrator of the system, ensuring its efficient and reliable operations at all times as well as coordinating and communicating with the registered group companies for all technical concerns. While the database only encompasses four NK affiliate firms at present, freelance experts of NK Tokyo and other group companies would soon be integrated into the system, thereby expanding and making the facility a more comprehensive and diverse pool of NKG resources. Before long, the NKG HR database system, as long as effectively used and maximized, would be very instrumental not only in strengthening the NK Group’s corporate strategy but also in enhancing the organization’s global competitiveness.
