Every employee is respected, while proper evaluations and rewards are practiced. Safety control and healthcare are positioned at the heart of management.
Corporate Philosophy Survey
The TOSHIBA TEC Group´s Corporate Philosophy "Our Five Commitments" is the common sense of value for every employee of the Group to possess, for all stakeholders. The TOSHIBA TEC Group hopes to carry on developing together with society as well as to achieve a sustainable society while practicing business activities and management based on this corporate philosophy. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly understand and practice ideal management while determining the gap between the "ideal stance" and status quo based on the corporate philosophy. The "Corporate Philosophy Survey" as an attitude survey, is conducted to make sure the corporate philosophy is utilized in a concrete manner for each employee´s behavior or at each workplace, since the corporate philosophy was established in 2007. By taking measures to improve workplaces in accordance with the survey results, the TOSHIBA TEC Group propagates and thoroughly makes every employee carry out business operations and take action based on the corporate philosophy.
A survey was conducted for TOSHIBA TEC Corporation and its 12 affiliates in Japan in fiscal 2007. 99.7% of employees answered the questionnaires. The questionnaires were collected, summarized and analyzed in various aspects, and fed back to all employees. Employees exchanged opinions based on these analyzed results at "Challenge Meetings," drafted an improvement plan toward fiscal 2009, and implemented the plan in accordance with the PDCA Cycle*.

Corporate Philosophy Promotion Committee
The TOSHIBA TEC Group selects corporate philosophy promotion committee members from its divisions and affiliates to hold a corporate philosophy promotion committee twice a year. The committee aims to recognize the importance of "Corporate Philosophy," smoothly conduct the corporate philosophy survey and implement the PDCA Cycle. In 2007, the survey results were reviewed and trends in the previous four years were summarized. In addition, issues on the group companies in Japan by comparison with the results outside Japan, surveys on ideal management, and the importance of challenge meetings were explained to all committee members. As a new attempt, an outside speaker delivered the keynote speech to educate the corporate philosophy promotion committee members. The "CSR Bulletin Board" is set up on the intranet to provide the survey implementation schedule, reports on the corporate philosophy committee and result data to thoroughly educate employees. In addition to the corporate philosophy survey, the pages regarding philanthropy reports and environmental news are provided on the intranet.
Labor Management Relations
The labor contract governing laws for labor-management relations has been concluded between TOSHIBA TEC Corporation and its labor union, to foster the policy of coexistence, i.e. "corporate development encourages the economic status of its labor union members, while improvements in the economic status of its labor union members lead to corporate development." Under this policy, labor and management merge their energies to improve productivity, while openly discussing management issues and reviewing directions to deepen mutual understanding.
