Promoting diversity
NTT Urban Development has positioned "Diversity & Inclusion (D&I)" as a key management strategy, and aims to create a workplace where diverse talent can thrive, regardless of gender, age, race, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
Basic Concept
Respecting the diversity of our workforce and establishing various systems and other initiatives that enable each employee to maximize their potential is a fundamental responsibility of "human capital management." Additionally, correctly understanding social issues related to diversity and reflecting them in customer needs can be said to be a management theme that forms the basis of "maximizing well-being." From this perspective, creating a workplace that respects diversity and each individual is an important issue for each Group company.
Continued strengthening of diversity promotion system
At NTT Urban Development, we are promoting the development of systems to make the most of diversity, and in order to foster employee awareness, we are conducting diversity training for all employees as well as for new managers and new graduates.We also conduct diversity awareness surveys for all employees to understand and analyze employee awareness and identify issues, which we then use to measure the effectiveness of measures and develop new plans.

Promoting human rights awareness
NTT Urban Development regards the establishment and penetration of human rights awareness as the foundation of business operations, and is continuously promoting human rights awareness while establishing policies and mechanisms to thoroughly respect human rights and prevent human rights violations.
Human Rights Policy and System
At NTT Urban Development, we believe that in order to contribute to the realization of a prosperous society, it is important for each employee to conduct business activities with a strong awareness of human rights.
To this end, under the NTT Group Human Rights Policy, a basic policy established in November 2021, we are working to establish a corporate stance of "respecting human rights and not engaging in, allowing, or tolerating any discrimination" while deepening the correct awareness and understanding of human rights issues among all executives and employees.Human rights awareness system
In order to foster a corporate culture that thoroughly respects human rights, we recognize the need to deepen a correct understanding of human rights and establish a workplace and corporate culture that is free of discrimination, cheerful, and easy to work in, and we have established a system to promote human rights awareness.Specifically, we have established a Human Rights Awareness Promotion Committee, chaired by a member of management (in principle the Representative Director and Executive Vice President) and consisting of representatives from the company's human rights department and related business divisions, and this committee regularly discusses specific awareness-raising measures.The committee, which is made up of representatives from the human rights department and related business divisions, regularly discusses specific awareness-raising measures and actively participates in external training sessions on various human rights issues, including the Burakumin issue, to continue the necessary learning.
Preventing human rights issues and responding quickly and appropriately when they occur
At NTT Urban Development, we have appointed a human rights promotion officer in each organization and are working to establish and spread awareness of human rights based on the strong belief that all discrimination should not be tolerated, should not be allowed to occur, and should not be tolerated. At the same time, we have been strengthening the establishment and operation of consultation desks in case of any violations. Specifically, we have set up internal and external consultation desks to handle all human rights issues, including sexual harassment, power harassment, and maternity harassment, and are working to improve our consultation system while also publicizing and promoting the use of these desks.

Health and Productivity Management Promotion System
NTT Urban Development places importance on health management so that each employee can maximize their potential, and has established various systems to support employees in various aspects.
Health and Productivity Management Concept and Policy
Since the global spread of COVID-19, attention to sustained physical and mental health and comfort, or "wellness," has become increasingly important. Changes are also occurring in the requirements and performance of "urban development" such as offices, commercial facilities, and residential facilities. Taking these factors into consideration, we believe that the foundation of the Group's growth and development lies in each employee working in a healthy and lively manner while increasing their motivation and vitality. To achieve this, we are promoting various measures tailored to the nature of each Group company's work, based on the "health and productivity management" policies established by each company, so that employees can maintain and improve their own and their families' health, find their work rewarding, and demonstrate their creativity.
Health and Productivity Management Promotion System
In order to implement health management, we have established a health promotion system headed by a health promotion manager to clarify the health promotion function. The health promotion manager participates in the Health Management Promotion Council, which is made up of health promotion managers from the NTT Group. In addition, we work with the NTT Health Insurance Society to actively participate in raising health awareness and health activities for employees and their families.

Human Resource Management and Development
NTT Urban Development aims to develop human resources who can tackle the various issues facing local communities and promote new "urban development" by making maximum use of the experience and know-how cultivated in the real estate business and the NTT Group's resources in ICT, energy, environmental technology, etc. In evaluation, we place emphasis on producing results and improving service quality, and we also practice evaluation management through communication through a series of cycles from goal setting to execution, review, and improvement, in order to contribute to employee growth and human resource development.
In addition to conducting hierarchical training according to target age and position, we have also established a system for interviews on career vision for young and mid-career employees. Furthermore, to support employees who wish to improve their skills, we have established a "Self-Development Support System" that offers a wide range of correspondence courses and online courses with a menu of approximately 1,600 options. Under the "Qualification Acquisition Incentive System," we provide support for the costs of obtaining or renewing approximately 248 business-related qualifications, as well as incentives for obtaining qualifications.
In addition, after joining the company, new employees will improve their expertise in the real estate field through on-the-job training, and will also grow through a wide range of work experience through job rotation.We also actively support volunteer activities such as knowledge sharing and mutual learning related to real estate practices.Human Resources Development System
