Communication With Employees

Policy

By listening to employees and establishing two-way communication, the NEC Group tries to reflect employee thinking in its business activities and in measures to revitalize the organization.

Framework

One NEC Survey

Every year, the NEC Group conducts the One NEC Survey, an opinion survey targeting the employees of NEC Group companies. The Company uses the survey materials to identify issues and devise action plans for conducting Group-wide management and performing evaluations based on NEC Group Vision 2017 and Core Values. The survey materials are also used to comprehensively understand employee thinking at each Group company about the company, workplaces, duties and other matters, and consider the need and direction for personnel initiatives and measures to revitalize the organization.
The Company discloses survey results in terms of compiled data and analyses to all employees via the NEC intranet, and provides feedback on survey results compiled for each organization in the form of an "Organizational Diagnosis." This information is put to good use in promoting increased understanding of strategy and revitalizing communication within the organization.

Labor-Management Councils

At these councils, NEC Corporation explains its business policies, business conditions, and other matters to the union representatives and listens to their opinions. The Central Labor-Management Council and the labor-management councils of business units are each held twice yearly. In addition to the labor-management councils, a "Work System Study Group" meets several times a year. This Work System Study Group serves as a forum for labor and management to study working-level matters, primarily concerning the adoption and restructuring of various systems.
Overseas Group companies have also put in place policies that foster communication between labor and management as well as between employees themselves. For example, in Europe, NEC Europe Ltd., the regional headquarters for this area, holds a European Forum (Labor-Management Council in Europe) each year.

Main Activities and Results (Fiscal 2012)

One NEC Survey

In fiscal 2012, NEC Corporation conducted the One NEC Survey from July to September 2011, and gained responses from 57,636 employees, who accounted for 82% of eligible respondents. In fiscal 2012, the survey continued to cover the penetration of NEC’s Mid-Term Growth Plan V2012, in addition to the NEC Group Vision 2017 and Core Values, along with the areas of improvement that must be addressed to achieve these priorities. The survey was implemented to gauge these issues from the standpoint of employee awareness. We surveyed and provided feedback on the understanding of the NEC Group and the NEC Group’s policies, management of organizations, management of subordinates, and the activity level of individuals, among other topics.

Labor-Management Councils

The Central Labor-Management Council was held in July 2011 and February 2012. At these events, NEC Corporation explained to labor union representatives various matters including current business results and future management policies, and conducted a lively exchange of views on these and other matters. Similarly, each business unit carried out two labor-management councils, explaining and exchanging views on business-unit policies, strategies, initiatives and other matters.
In addition, the European Forum was held in November 2011 in Europe.

Global Town Meeting

Global Town Meeting

In July 2011, NEC held the Global Town Meeting in 6 locations around the world, including Japan. The meetings were attended by around 500 people.
The Global Town Meeting is intended to share a deeper understanding of NEC Group Vision 2017 and Core Values through dialogue among employees worldwide. At the same time, these meetings clarify "What is needed to contribute more to customers and realize the Vision," and "What must be changed," among other issues. Global Town Meeting was held to ensure that all employees work to address these priorities as "One NEC."

In Japan, the Global Town Meeting was attended by the V2012 promoters of each business unit and affiliated company along with Mr. Endo, the president of NEC. The participants shared information on the status of activities in each division and discussed various topics including the next course of action needed to drive reforms.
Overseas, the Global Town Meeting was held in the 5 host cities of NEC’s regional headquarters: Beijing, Singapore, London, Dallas and São Paulo. Every meeting was attended by an executive from Japan, who engaged in dialogue with local employees to foster a shared awareness of the "One NEC" concept. Key discussion themes included the challenging tasks necessary to realize the Vision’s goal of making NEC "a leading global company," as well as the NEC Group Core Values (what we value and base our behavior on).

Participants expressed the following views about the meetings:
"What inspires me most is NEC’s concern about society and the planet. I hope to contribute even more to the company’s growth."
"When we have an open mind, new ideas come out. When we forget our positions and everybody speaks and listens, we can collaborate with each other."
"The Vision should be translated for individuals working within their own Business Unit."
