Promoting Human Rights and Employing the Handicapped

  Anritsu Corporation provides human rights training to each class of employees and arranges video presentations plus other training tools concerning human rights during Compliance Reinforcement Week. In January 2006, personnel in charge of human affairs at Group Companies ran a Human Rights Promotion Meeting. We will continue promoting human rights so that each employee can gain an enriched understanding of them.
  The ratio of handicapped persons among all people employed at Anritsu Corporation had been below the legal target of 1.8%, so we set up a three-year program in December 2004 aimed at reaching this target by fiscal 2007. Accordingly, we are making working conditions more amenable for handicapped persons to make them optimally effective and allow them to work more easily with co-workers.

Balancing Work and Family

  In April 2005, Anritsu Corporation instituted a plan based on the Next-Generation Family Promotion Law and submitted it to the Kanagawa Prefecture Labor Dept. as a means of promoting better balance of work and child rearing time. Moreover, to motivate male employees to play more of a role in child rearing, the company eliminated restrictions related to working tenure and spouse status.
  The Committee to Support Promotion of Balancing Work and Family, which is organized by commissioners assigned by the company and employees, controls action plan execution, discusses new support, and periodically researches employee satisfaction and needs. The January 2006 survey shows that there remain issues to raise employee awareness, usage and satisfaction regarding support programs. We closely examine these issues to find solutions and continue to build a more employeeoriented working environment.
