Fair Evaluation and Treatment

Policy on Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment

In Toshiba's view, the purposes of employee evaluation are pertinent personnel deployment and the bringing of employee motivation and abilities into full play through the assessment of job skills and performance and on the basis of fair treatment for all.

Based on this view, in employee evaluation Toshiba adopts "Evaluation Perspectives by Job Function," a method of clarifying the skills and results corresponding to each job function, and distributes a handbook explaining the evaluation system to all employees.

In employee evaluation, Toshiba uses a point-addition scoring method to fairly evaluate the skills and job performance results of each individual, without regard to gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality or other demographic attributes.

System for Promoting Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment

Toshiba promotes fair personnel evaluation and treatment in accordance with the personnel evaluation and treatment system established by the Human Resources and Administration Division.

Training for Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment

Toshiba provides periodic training on personnel evaluation to the persons in positions of supervision or management. Also, a handbook on personnel evaluation system is provided to all employees to ensure they are well informed regarding the system.

Systems for Soliciting Employee Opinions(Checks and Audits for Fair Personnel Evaluation and Treatment)
