Global competition has become more intense, and
customers’ needs are more varied and sophisticated
than ever. For the Ricoh Group to keep growing, we
will need the higher added value that innovation can
provide.
A diverse workforce aids innovation by bringing
many perspectives and knowledge bases into play.
We aim to create a workplace where employees
from many cultures can be productive while also
fulfilling their lives away from work and career.
The Ricoh Group is actively promoting diversity
and work-life balance so as to become an energized
company where both organizations and individuals
can thrive.
