Nagano, Japan, September 18, 2026 - Hioki E.E. Corporation (TSE: 6866) announced today that it has been certified by Great Place to Work® Institute Japan (GPTW Japan) for the seventh consecutive year, receiving certification for the 2027 program.
The recognition reflects Hioki’s continued commitment to building a workplace where employees can grow, take on new challenges and contribute to the company’s long-term development. Great Place to Work® certification evaluates workplace culture primarily through employee feedback and is based on a globally established methodology developed through decades of workplace research.
Hioki was first recognized in the 2021 Great Place to Work® program, when it was also named a Best Company in the medium-sized company category
Yoshikazu Suyama, Managing Director, Senior Managing Executive Officer, said:
“At Hioki, we believe that sustainable business growth begins with the growth of our people. We aim to create an environment where every employee can pursue meaningful work, develop their capabilities and take on new challenges while contributing to our shared direction as a company.
Achieving Great Place to Work® certification for the seventh consecutive year reflects the culture our employees have built together over time. We will continue investing in an environment that enables our people to grow, collaborate and create greater value for our customers and society.”
Human Capital as a Foundation for Sustainable Growth
Guided by its Corporate Philosophy of “Respect for Humanity” and “Contribution to Society,” established in 1986, Hioki has long regarded people as fundamental to the company’s sustainable growth.
Under the Hioki Group Policy formulated in 2025, the 90th anniversary of the company’s founding, Hioki has continued to strengthen its philosophy-driven approach to human capital development in support of Vision 2030, its long-term management policy. “By strengthening employee capabilities, mobility and engagement, Hioki aims to build the organizational agility, innovation capacity and global expertise required to compete and grow sustainably over the long term.”
In 2025, Hioki introduced the HI-Career System, designed to connect employees’ individual aspirations and sense of purpose with the company’s strategic direction. The system supports employees in developing their capabilities and pursuing meaningful career growth through their work at Hioki.
The company’s HI-Challenge internal recruitment system further empowers employees to take greater ownership of their careers by applying for opportunities beyond their existing roles and departments. These include assignments at overseas sales subsidiaries, participation in strategically important projects, the creation of new internal ventures and secondments to external organizations.
Together, these initiatives are designed to strengthen employee capabilities, mobility and engagement while enabling Hioki to build the organizational resilience, innovation capability and global expertise required to compete and grow sustainably over the long-term.
By connecting individual development with the growth of the Group, Hioki aims to foster a workplace where diverse employees can contribute their strengths, pursue meaningful careers and create greater value for customers and society.
Looking ahead, the Hioki Group will continue to invest in its people and organizational capabilities as an important foundation for sustainable growth. As Hioki continues to expand globally, developing diverse talent and strengthening organizational capabilities will remain central to supporting sustainable growth and delivering greater value across markets.
