ITOCHU Corporation is proactive about offering employees opportunities for two-way discussions with the president.
Although Company-wide Employee Meetings have been held since fiscal 2001, starting from fiscal 2011 these meetings have been divided into three sessions in an effort to deepen dialogue. In these discussions, the president shares directly with employees the company’s management policies and his passion for their realization, while employees in turn can express their opinions to the president and ask questions. The meetings therefore provide extremely valuable opportunities for two-way communication. Recent meetings were held in a very spirited atmosphere, and touched on everything from management policies to more personal topics.
Along with these domestic meetings, the president also has dialogue meetings with our staff on overseas assignment, as well as overseas bloc employees when he visits one of our overseas bloc areas. In fiscal 2011, the president held meetings at our business locations in the United States, China, Taiwan, and Australia, directly exchanging opinions with staff on overseas assignment and overseas bloc employees about our management policies and other topics. These meetings provide beneficial opportunities for both the president and employees to deepen their communication.
