Well-being

Fujitsu Group believes our employees’ Well-being is

The Fujitsu Group believes “well-being” which focuses on people, the source of our business activities, is one of the most important management issues. Furthermore, since in 2023, we have established “Improving people's well-being" as a materiality in our Medium-Term Management Plan. We believe that addressing the well-being of our employees and contributing to the well-being of society will lead to Fujitsu's Purpose, to “Make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

We believe our employees’ well-being is “A state in which each of us acts on our authentic values, and progresses for a brighter future through work and life.”
We believe that it is important for our employees to be able to feel "well-being" from an individual perspective in order to achieve well-being that shows more sustainable happiness, rather than momentary happiness.

The Fujitsu Group has broken down its concept of well-being into four categories. Although each individual will prioritize a different category for their own well-being because of each individuals’ circumstances, we believe that we can approach the state of well-being through work when these factors are met.

*The theme color of the Fujitsu Group’s Well-being Activities is Magenta Orange. Magenta represents deep warmth and creativity, and Orange represents moving perpetually forwards.

Promotion system

Well-being activities are reviewed by the Sustainability Management Committee, which meets semiannually to confirm the progress of activities and achievement of targets, and to discuss new activities. The results are reported to the Management Committee. The Chief HR Officer (CHRO) and the Well-being Pillar Leader are placed in charge, with the PMO (Employee Success Unit ＆ International CoE) responsible for planning and promotion. Regional leaders are appointed from each region to promote specific measures and activities in each region.

Goals and Results

The Fujitsu Group has created a Well-being story in three steps to realize the plan for its vision for 2030; namely integration with corporate culture and contribution to society. Our vision for 2030 is a state where the well-being of Fujitsu (both employees and organization) is connected to the well-being of society, in which Fujitsu’s Purpose is realized. Currently, the goal for the first stage is for each employee to be able to understand and talk about their own well-being by 2024. To this end, we are promoting the development of “Promote understanding of well-being” and “Data-driven visualization and analysis” toward achieving this goal.

• Future Generations Relations (December 2023)
  Since March 2021, Fujitsu has been a part of the Well-being Initiative, a corporate consortium that promotes social well-being. In 2023, Future Generations Relations, which encourages dialogue with future generations, was planned as a cross-functional activity involving participating businesses. We announced our intent to conduct education support programs to foster knowledge, thinking ability, and creativity in children, who are the pillars of our future, under the theme of “Creating Happiness Through Technology,” with the goal of realizing a sustainable world.

We conducted a well-being survey of the Fujitsu Group employees in Japan between November and December 2023 with the purpose of visualizing the factors influencing well-being and formulating and deploying the results of data analysis into actual HR policies.

The analysis results of the survey data revealed that there is a strong correlation between well-being and engagement, that the factors influencing well-being differ depending on gender and job responsibilities, and that there is a correlation between working hours and well-being. Going forward, we will continue to analyze the data to support the autonomous career and life development of each and every employee, aiming for the well-being of everyone involved with the Fujitsu Group.
