At IT departments, in coordination with the ESG policies of the entire Hitachi Group, we are actively engaging in solutions to problems related to the environmental impact reduction.
In addition, we are accelerating the reallocation of IT resources, the training of human resources, and the securing of diverse human resources, promoting the globalization of IT human resources.
We will train human resources who have the capabilities to contribute via IT to the global business expansion of the Hitachi Group, transforming our IT human resources portfolio.
We will actively promote diversity, aiming to further change how employees think and develop their mindsets.
We aim to have our IT departments be among the best in the world and will work to obtain and train global IT human resources, including digital human resources, and improve technical skills. Specifically, as we look towards achieving the goals of the 2024 Hitachi Group IT Medium-Term Plan, we will envision what we want our human resources to look like, and as we review our IT human resources portfolio, support the corresponding career paths and the strengthening of the requisite technical capabilities and skills. Moreover, by having employees working in Japan participate in global projects, we will further strengthen their ability to handle global matters. From FY 2023, we will establish the Global IT Talent Development (GITD) Promotion Team, set up KPIs for employees to be trained and materialize training plans, and develop global human resources by implementing both on-the-job training and off-the-job training.
Our promotion of DEI is unified with the management strategy for the Hitachi Group, with IT departments actively engaged in the goal of achieving sustainable growth for both companies and employees.
From a medium- to long-term perspective, our goal is to realize an organization without bias in terms of nationality, gender, or experience (that is, experience outside the Hitachi Group) as we diversify our human resources. We are working to achieve more active communication with employees while we aim to achieve a culture (consciousness and climate) that allows a diverse range of human resources to thrive, through a fair and independent career-oriented support structure. From FY 2023, we will appoint new leadership human resources for overseas sites to globally strengthen formulation of strategies and decision-making. We will continue further acceleration of our global businesses with respect to diversity.
