The Essential of Human Capital
Human resources are an important asset of the university. The talents are the most valuable resources and lifelines of the university’s development and progress as well as the key factor of the university’s long-term operation. A flexible and efficient application of human resources and talent development are critical and important tasks in the rapidly-changing and competitive educational industry due to the decreasing birth rate. In order to keep up with the high competitiveness and challenges of the new era and globalization, KMU links and combines the existing resources and bases effectively, in line with our shared values and future development objectives by carrying out an efficient talents and faculty education and training program actively. Moreover, KMU encourages each faculty to undertake domestic or abroad further education, training and seminar participation, and in so doing helps KMU to be more competitive by dedicating itself to long-term development and management of the human resources.
Enhancement of Training and Development
“Training and Development Program”(T & D Program) is one of the key methods for talent cultivation which has far-reaching influence on an organizational operation and development. Training and Development Program plays an important role in the development of individual’s ability, and further stimulates their potentials. The Training and Development programs are tailored based on each “talent’s individual needs and qualification” as well as KMU’s long-term development plan. The ultimate goals of the program are helping the university
- To create campus-wide shared values and culture
- To increase organizational learning ability
- To reinforce professional knowledge, work efficiency and service quality
- To create an organizational learning environment
- To drive professional, dynamic and creative HR services
- To foster managerial and administrative talent
- To strengthen professional ability and core competency
In addition to on-the-job training, KMU encourages faculty and staff to apply for further education (including degree taking at graduate schools), training and seminars participation and also sending faculty overseas to learn cutting-edge medical research, technology and skill. In 2011, there were 15 faculty members studying abroad such as Edinburgh University, MD Anderson Cancer Center and UC Davis etc. and 52 progressed to a masters degree and/or a PhD degree in local universities.
In face of the rapidly changing technological and intellectual currents as well as keen competition from striving for outstanding centers and excellent teaching universities, we firmly believe that constant improvement and learning are the only ways to keep ourselves in the lead.
KMU will further enhance a well-designed talent cultivation program, train and develop outstanding talents in the field of teaching, research, technology and management, in order to prepare for the future keen competition.
