Respect for Human Rights and Promotion of Diversity

Basic Approach
The creation of an ideal working place with respect to human rights and diversity is becoming increasingly important given the ongoing evolution of global business and the diversifying ways in which people work. We are committed to improving the working conditions and systems for diverse human resources toward recruiting employees and revitalizing communications across the organization.
Human Rights Training
Anritsu has implemented a number of activities to foster an awareness of human rights within and outside the company on issues that require constant vigilance, such as discrimination against minority groups, sexual harassment and abuse of power in the workplace, and to improve communication. These efforts include training by organizational level, CSR Promotion Month and CSR Reinforcement Week. To further promote respect for human rights, the abolition of forced labor and prohibition of inhuman treatment, child labor and discrimination were included in the Anritsu CSR Procurement Guidelines issued in November 2010.
Creating Jobs for People with Disabilities
By the end of December 2010 in fiscal 2010, Anritsu had significantly improved the employment ratio of people with disabilities to 1.98%, meeting legal mandates. To maintain and further improve this ratio in fiscal 2011, we will continue our recruitment efforts and workplace improvements while establishing greater cooperation for people with disabilities and expanding the range of available jobs so they can better apply their strengths.

Balancing Work and Family

Allow men and women employees to take leave for child-raising with greater peace of mind. Make a child-raising leave system and other benefits available.
Reinforce system to help parent employees with temporary child-raising service charges. Subsidize child-raising service charges at a family support center run by a local government.
Enhance understanding among employees that we support greater work-family balance in child-raising. Produce and distribute our guidebook pertaining to our child-raising and related systems, etc.
Borderless Recruiting
Anritsu Corporation and Group companies in Japan conduct recruitment activities regardless of nationality through such means as participating in recruiting fairs* held by universities outside Japan and employing foreign students in Japanese universities. As of the end of December 2010, 29 Anritsu Group employees of foreign nationality are working in Japan.

*Recruiting fairs: Forums for information exchange and mutual understanding between job applicants and employers
Revitalizing Employee Communications
Anritsu conducts an employee satisfaction survey to determine how well employees understand the company’s direction and systems, the effectiveness of workplace communications and the level of job satisfaction. In fiscal 2010, surveys were conducted in the Americas, Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Japan. The identification of issues as well as the development and implementation of improvement programs are currently underway in each region. In addition, we have expanded ”The President’s Web Office,” a site through which President Hashimoto directly communicates with all Group employees.
Furthermore, the President and top executives visited Group companies in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The President also presents awards to employees while visiting their jobsites as a way to revitalize communication between management and employees.
Initial Response to the Great East Japan Earthquake
After the occurrence of the earthquake, a crisis response headquarters headed by President Hashimoto was set up in the Head Office. We devoted our full attention to confirming the safety of all our employees in cooperation with the Koriyama Office and Tohoku Anritsu Co., Ltd. in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, which is our local headquarters in the affected region. In the course of helping the afflicted areas, we also urgently distributed daily commodities to employees, and their families, of the Koriyama Office and Tohoku Anritsu Co., Ltd. as well as branch offices of Anritsu Corporation, Anritsu Industrial Solutions Co., Ltd. and Anritsu Networks Co., Ltd., who are based in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.
