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.

The Daikin Group believes it is our people who make us competitive. A company can only grow stronger by having a diverse range of employees—men and women of all ages, nationalities, races, and levels of occupational experience—working within an organization that is conducive to mutual understanding of one another's distinct values and that allows everyone to shoot for a lofty goal.

Our Group Compliance Guidelines state that while respecting diverse values and approaches to work, we shall mutually accept our respective differences, act in harmony, gather the abilities we possess, and strive to be a Group in which each member expresses his or her ambitions and then takes bold actions with great passion and perseverance to realize those ambitions.

Daikin Industries stresses a work life balance for employees. We have a range of work systems that allow employees to work flexible duties and flexible schedules.

The company has established an action plan for helping employees with children continue both work and home duties with peace of mind and has been certified as a company complying with the Law for Measures to Support the Development of the Next Generation. We have been particularly active in urging male employees to take advantage of our systems for childcare leave and childcare support.

Daikin Industries believes that cooperative labor management relations are the foundation of company management. We therefore place the utmost emphasis on equality of labor and management as well as mutual trust between both sides.

The Daikin Group's Group Compliance Guidelines state our top priority of ensuring a safe, healthy workplace where employees can work in peace of mind. To achieve this, we constantly strive to create a "zero accident" workplace where Daikin employees and subcontract employees work safely, both for their own sake and to instill a feeling of safety in the minds of residents around our factories.

The Daikin Group philosophy states that the cumulative growth of all group members, regardless of nationality or company, serves the foundation for the group's development. Based on the belief that people grow through work experience, the Daikin Group develops employee capabilities through on-the-job training (OJT)^*1. We also supplement this with off-the-job training (Off JT)^*2, such as the Daikin Leadership Development Program for next generation executives, the Daikin Business School (D-BS) for executive management candidates of overseas bases. We also provide opportunities for independent learning through language training and correspondence courses.

*1 OJT: Employees learn and acquire the skills, knowledge, and degree of commitment required of their positions while performing their jobs.
*2 Off JT: Employees study outside of their workplaces in order to acquire the knowledge and skills needed for their jobs.

Daikin Industries does all it can in educating employees about human rights so that we can establish a corporate group free of discrimination where everyone's rights are respected.
