The Diversity Promotion Office, sharing information among NTT Group companies
The NTT Group has been striving to create a diverse workplace in which employees are recruited irrespective of sex, age, race, nationality, disability, or other such factors. In October 2007, NTT established a Diversity Promotion Office to further bolster workplace diversity efforts, with similar diversity promotion measures slated to be in place in other NTT Group companies by April 2008.
The Diversity Promotion Office strives to create a workplace atmosphere that empowers all employees so that they may play active roles in the company. To share information and policies on a group-wide basis, the Office uses NTT's intranet to introduce female employees who are seen as role models to other employees, and to disseminate information about work-life balance. The Diversity Promotion Office also organizes seminars and publishes and distributes educational pamphlets on the role of workplace communication and how employees can work more effectively.
