Employee Evaluation and Treatment Policy
The Daikin Group offers "fairness of opportunity and reward": a workplace where employees are rewarded for putting their motivation to work and taking every opportunity for success.
Employee Evaluation and Treatment
Pursuing Fairness of Opportunity and Reward
In fiscal 2001, we eliminated standardized wage scales based on age and seniority, along with uniform pay raises. Instead, we switched to a compensation system that rewards performance, not age or seniority.
Our performance evaluation focuses on how well employees improve their abilities. This evaluation also looks at job results in three categories called achievements, challenging spirit, and growth. To ensure even greater fairness of evaluation, managers evaluate their staff only after consulting with other managers. Employees are also evaluated based on their level of contribution to company successes and to the organization as a whole.
In 2002, this compensation system was extended to include Daikin Group companies in Japan. We are planning to create unified worldwide guidelines that cover our philosophy of performance-based pay and detail how job results should be reflected in pay. This will give the entire Group a fair, credible compensation system.

Job Placement
Creating Opportunities to Understand Employee Circumstances
Whenever possible, Daikin Industries talks with employees and assigns them to departments and sections where they want to work.
All new employees are interviewed to determine their hopes and desired area of work in order to ensure they are placed in the most appropriate jobs.
Every year, employees fill out their own record of work, which includes a column for free comments about health, family, and job positions desired. When we consider transferring an employee, we look at these comments and talk to them in efforts to ensure, whenever possible, that their job desires and spirit of challenge is reflected in the posts they are assigned to. For employees who wish to work overseas, we have established a practical training system to support employees in foreign positions.
We will continue to build rewarding workplaces for our employees by matching their dreams and goals with those of Daikin.
