Improving Organizational Health Index

Organizational Health Index and Promotion Structure

Hitachi Construction Machinery Group are committed to improve organizational health index to provide a work environment that maximizes the performance of each and every employee.

Organizational health index, also as known as “corporate culture” or “employee awareness”,  is an essential component of achieving innovation and sustainable growth as well as performance(financial results) improvement. Hitachi Construction Machinery introduced employee survey in 2013 and launched the Organizational Health Workstream in 2017 as a cross-departmental function. We also plan, formulate, and implement measures to improve organizational health index, and disseminate information both inside and outside the company.

Based on the results of employee surveys, Hitachi Construction Machinery group is working to improve organizational health by steadily executing the PDCA cycle of identifying issues, planning and implementing measures, and confirming and reflecting on the effects.
