Hitachi is what it is today because of the day-in, day-out efforts of our employees.
Hitachi is committed to creating a work environment that respects individuality, one where employees can develop to their full potential and aspire to high goals.
Creating a Work-Friendly Corporate Culture
Hitachi, Ltd. is working hard to nurture human resources that can meet the requirements of the new age and to create a better work environment where all employees can give full expression to their individual capabilities. This endeavor is guided by three key words: (1) "openness" to encourage frank communication and to provide employees with opportunities to express their full potential, (2) "challenge" to aspire to high goals and personal transformation, and (3) "diversity" to respect individuality.

Hitachi's approach toward HIV/AIDS
The basic policies of Hitachi, Ltd. on HIV/AIDS have been applied to the Hitachi Group since 1995.
Promoting Diversity
Vital to the sustained growth of both society and companies is how to respond to social change, such as the shrinking labor force-caused by declining birth rates and the aging of society-and problems with pension systems.
Hitachi believes that by developing the potential and widening the scope of action of the people who will be meeting this challenge, we can promote new value creation and open the way for sustained corporate growth respecting individuality and accepting diverse values. Based on this belief, Hitachi has introduced a range of measures that encourage diversity.
Securing the Safety and Health of Employees
Hitachi, Ltd. strives to maintain and improve high safety and hygiene standards under the motto, "Protecting the safety and health of employees comes before all else."
Supporting Enriched Lives for Employees and Their Families
Hitachi has instituted a range of measures designed to support richer and more stable lives for our employees and their families.
Human Resource Development and Human Resource Utilization
At Hitachi, we pay close attention to capacity building and career development because we believe that maximizing employee potential is critical to providing new value and resolving the fundamental challenges of a global society.
Raising Motivation through the Rewards System for Employee Inventions
Many Hitachi employees are engaged in research and development, including some 1,200 with doctorates. In order to stimulate research activities and to create new inventions, Hitachi revised the Reward System for Employee Inventions in April 2005.
