## Global Human Resources Strategy 

At Astellas, to develop employees who can achieve our Business Philosophy while responding to rapid social changes, we have established personnel strategies, including “Astellas’ Desired Talent” and “Astellas’ Desired Organization.” Guided by these strategies, we are building a framework for effective deployment of our human resources, taking into consideration the best approach to recruitment, placement, appraisal and compensation of human resources, as well as career development. 

Career development at Astellas involves offering career development opportunities to employees who show a will- ingness to take responsibility and possess the required skills. Moreover, we provide a high level of development support for talented and capable employees who show strong com- mitment to continuous high performance, on the bases of equal opportunity and individual capability regardless of race, gender and so on. 

Furthermore, it is important that all employees who are working in various different countries move in the same direction to create corporate value. We have therefore for- mulated the “Five Messages for the Astellas Way,” which defines a shared set of values and actions to be embraced by our employees around the world, and we are fostering a corporate culture to realize our Business Philosophy.
