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 talent portfolio.

We are working to improve employee engagement by enhancing work efficiency in a comfortable workplace environment, while also focusing on promoting individual development and skill improvement.

To become world-class IT departments, we are working to acquire and develop global IT talent, including digital specialists, and to improve their technical capabilities. Specifically, in line with the global business expansion of the Hitachi Group, we formulate a To-Be vision for our IT talent, review our IT talent portfolio, support career paths to achieve that vision, and work on strengthening their technical skills. In particular, toward the realization of the Hitachi Group’s Inspire 2027 management plan, we are cultivating highly skilled IT and DX talent through such projects as the application of AI to business operations. To further strengthen our global response capabilities, we are promoting the development of global IT talent through both on-the-job training (OJT), such as assignments to global IT projects, and off-the-job training (Off-JT), such as training and education. To promote this initiative, we assess the global level of individual employees annually, accurately grasping and evaluating the development status of global IT talent, and continuously striving to transform the IT talent portfolio.

We aim to enhance employee engagement by enabling employees to work efficiently and deliver strong results in a comfortable work environment. As specific initiatives, we are working to improve workplace environments by enhancing employee work efficiency and motivation, implementing measures to improve workplace communication, and improving workplace facilities and equipment. As part of improving operational efficiency, we reduced the budget management workload by 19% by promoting the use of AI agents and reducing meetings and procedures. To enhance communication, we have been continuously encouraging the adoption of one-on-one communication between supervisors and subordinates. In FY 2025, we encouraged the identification of organizational issues by diversifying communication channels, strongly promoting not only one-on-one meetings between managers and their direct reports, but also one-on-one meetings with more senior managers. To improve the workplace environment, we are creating opportunities for communication across departments and job roles through company-wide recreational activities, fostering a sense of unity. Additionally, we continue our efforts to enhance the work environment by collecting employee feedback through suggestion boxes and implementing improvements based on their input.
