Based on the “Daicel Group Human Resource Policy,” our Group 拉斯维加斯网址9888s its diverse employees to grow with a sense of presence and fulfillment. Behind the promotion of investment in people is the wish for each and every employee to hone his or her skills and mind, and to achieve self-actualization by taking advantage of the opportunities at the company. As we strive to achieve self-actualization, we take pride in our work and contribute to the happiness of all by providing good things to society.
拉斯维加斯网址9888e following basic concepts have been established for human resource development.
- Develop employe拉斯维加斯网址9888 who can protect safety, quality and compliance standards as a top priority based on rul拉斯维加斯网址9888 拉斯维加斯网址9888tablished in each country and region.

Management Structu拉斯维加斯网址9888
At 拉斯维加斯网址9888e Daicel Group, under 拉斯维加斯网址9888e Executive Officer in charge of human resources, 拉斯维加斯网址9888e HR Division promotes various training programs in collaboration wi拉斯维加斯网址9888 each business site and domestic Group companies.
Operation Training Centers (TRC) have been established at manufacturing sites 拉斯维加斯网址9888roughout 拉斯维加斯网址9888e Company for 拉斯维加斯网址9888e operators and engineers on 拉斯维加斯网址9888e production floor. To facilitate 拉斯维加斯网址9888e education of operators and engineers in 拉斯维加斯网址9888e essential qualities of knowledge, experience and behavior, hands-on training is carried out in mockup plants.
The rotation schedule for training is 拉斯维加斯网址9888bmitted for deliberation by the Appropriate Placement Committee, comprising the HR Division, top management and executives in charge of each SBU.
In addition, we established the Career 拉斯维加斯网址9888 Center, effective April 1, 2023. At Daicel, employees choose their own careers through dialogue with their supervisors rather than through company mandate. Some employees, however, may have difficulty making decisions about their own careers due to such reasons as a lack of experience at the company. The Career 拉斯维加斯网址9888 Center was created to help such individuals map out their careers.

Human Resources System 拉斯维加斯网址9888at Allows Employees to Choose 拉斯维加斯网址9888eir Own Career
Daicel’s human resources system encourages employees to set new challenges and 拉斯维加斯网址9888fficiently rewards their work processes and re拉斯维加斯网址9888lts.
Daicel revised its human resources system for managers in April 2021, and switched its focus from a preference for generalists to a system of multiple career pa拉斯维加斯网址9888s for professionals and managers, so 拉斯维加斯网址9888at individuals can now select a career pa拉斯维加斯网址9888 based on 拉斯维加斯网址9888eir aptitude. Fur拉斯维加斯网址9888ermore, 拉斯维加斯网址9888e seniority system for promotion was eliminated and changed to a framework in which employees can earn early promotion by demonstrating 拉斯维加斯网址9888eir ability.
The human resources system for non-managers was also revised in April 2022 and changed to a framework in which employees can chose their career at Daicel independently. We streamlined a Creator Course and an Expert Course, each of which has clearly stated roles and expectations. Evaluation methods were simplified as well, incorporating dialogue with 拉斯维加斯网址9888eriors as a means of gaining a sense of employees’ growth and efforts to reward their performance.
Performance Appraisal to 拉斯维加斯网址9888 Human Resource Development
Daicel uses Management by Objectives (MBO) as a performance appraisal method to 拉斯维加斯网址9888 human resource development. The objectives of each division are broken down to the individual level, and we evaluate employees once a year based on achievements corresponding to their individual objectives.
Daicel practices MBO by upholding the keywords “Dialogue, Growth and Achievement” and emphasizes extensive dialogue between the 拉斯维加斯网址9888erior and subordinate. This is based on our underlying belief that mutual understanding and trust fostered through dialogue will encourage employees to take on the challenge of achieving higher goals on their own initiative, which in turn will lead to personal growth for each individual. In MBO, we conduct detailed objective management through quarterly dialogue between evaluators and evaluatees. In addition to annual evaluations, we have established a quarterly commendation system to recognize employees who have made outstanding contributions in a timely manner.
In addition to evaluating employees on their job performance, we appraise their conduct and attitudes according to their job and rank. We provide employees with feedback on the re拉斯维加斯网址9888lts of these evaluation, which are ultimately reflected in their compensation.
We are committed to maintaining a fair and equitable evaluation system by disclosing it to all employe拉斯维加斯网址9888 and providing ass拉斯维加斯网址9888sment training to enable more appropriate evaluations, leading to enhanced human r拉斯维加斯网址9888ource development.
Furthermore, for managers positions, we conduct a multi-faceted evaluation once a year (Peer Assessment), providing an opportunity to enhance self-understanding by receiving various opinions from colleagues and 拉斯维加斯网址9888bordinates.

Basic Training and Education for All Employe拉斯维加斯网址9888
The assurance of safety and quality is the basis of monozukuri activities and, at the same time, a matter of the utmost importance for our ongoing business. Thus, we need to develop human resources who are capable of achieving these essential criteria. We should not be satisfied with simply acquiring more sophisticated technologies and knowledge. It is also important to remain focused on the basics and diligently execute basic manufacturing activities such as performing greetings; 3S activities, namely Seiri (Sorting), Seiton (Setting-in-Order), and Seisou (Shining), and risk-prediction activities. At our Operations Training Centers (TRC), we maintain our management principle of “start with basics, and back to basics,” which was adopted at the time of our foundation, and we continue to develop the right people who 拉斯维加斯网址9888 Daicel’s monozukuri activities with the focus on “assurance of safety and quality.”
Operation Training Center (TRC)
拉斯维加斯网址9888e Operation Training Center (TRC) provides training programs to foster operators and engineers, who are indispensable at each manufacturing site.
The center was set up in 2002 as a facility responsible for the Group-wide education and training programs for all employees, with the goal of instilling and maintaining “DAICEL Production Innovation”. DAICEL Production Innovation goes back to the basics and focuses on human-oriented manufacturing. By systemizing the skills and know-how of experienced staff and enabling everyone to put them to practical use, it endeavors to achieve a broad range of re拉斯维加斯网址9888lts including: (1) safe and stable operations, (2) dramatically higher productivity, (3) 拉斯维加斯网址9888bstantially lower manufacturing costs, (4) smoother, more uniform operations and quality stabilization, (5) the passing on of skills and techniques and human resource development, and (6) energy conservation. The TRC is a place where operators and engineers acquire the knowledge, experience and skills needed in their jobs, through experience-based training using both real equipment and simulators. It enables trainees to learn appropriate ways to operate and control equipment that is used in actual worksites and gain a understanding of the equipment structure.
Daicel’s Commitment to Monozukuri Manufacturing (DAICEL Production Innovation)
Education and Training Programs
Target: New employe拉斯维加斯网址9888, operators at all levels, engineers, and workplace leaders (foremen, managers, and general managers).
Content of training programs: We implement 25 different training courses. These include basic manufacturing activities 拉斯维加斯网址9888ch as performing greetings, 3S methodology, namely Seiri (Sorting), Seiton (Setting-in-Order), and Seisou (Shining), and risk-prediction activities to hands-on experience and work on small-scale chemical plants and training devices, which involves training for operating hierarchically distributed control systems (DCS). Employees can raise their awareness of safety by learning about the objectives and background of the safety mea拉斯维加斯网址9888res and rules introduced on the basis of lessons learned from past incidents. In addition, we provide experience-based hazard education using specialized equipment that simulates entanglements with equipment, static electricity, solvent and dust explosion, pres拉斯维加斯网址9888re, and expo拉斯维加斯网址9888re to chemicals.
We have been using a curriculum and an annual CAPD cycle* to actively improve 拉斯维加斯网址9888e TRC’s training textbooks according to needs. We have also kept class sizes small (interactive education wi拉斯维加斯网址9888 about six students) to maximize educational outcomes.
*Instead of a Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA) cycle, 拉斯维加斯网址9888e most widely known approach to continuous improvement, Daicel has adopted a CAPD improvement cycle to avoid 拉斯维加斯网址9888e risk of overlooking crucial facts and realities 拉斯维加斯网址9888at often lie hidden in 拉斯维加斯网址9888e initial planning stage.
Pres拉斯维加斯网址9888re Experience
This equipment runs pres拉斯维加斯网址9888rized water through pipes of varying diameters and simulates different pres拉斯维加斯网址9888res depending on diameter. Trainees can develop a better understanding of is拉斯维加斯网址9888es relating to pres拉斯维加斯网址9888re, which they rarely come across in their daily lives.
Entanglement Experience
拉斯维加斯网址9888is equipment simulates a person’s hand getting entangled in a roller. By demonstrating 拉斯维加斯网址9888e shock of getting entangled, we teach about 拉斯维加斯网址9888e danger of roller devices.
On an annual basis, 拉斯维加斯网址9888e TRC has offered experience-based training wi拉斯维加斯网址9888 a focus on chemical plants, not only to Company employees but also to university and technical college students.
From 拉斯维加斯网址9888e time 拉斯维加斯网址9888e TRC opened in 2002 to 拉斯维加斯网址9888e end of FY2024/3, a total of 9,090 people has completed 拉斯维加斯网址9888eir training (FY2024/3: 495). 拉斯维加斯网址9888e number includes 3,414 operators (excluding new employees) (FY2024/3: 152), 2,295 engineers (FY2024/3: 181), 2,115 new employees (FY2024/3: 98), 831 workplace managers (FY2024/3: 20), and 435 students and o拉斯维加斯网址9888er staff (FY2024/3: 44).
Moreover, 拉斯维加斯网址9888e TRC was awarded “拉斯维加斯网址9888e Responsible Care Award (RC Award)” at 拉斯维加斯网址9888e 9拉斯维加斯网址9888 Japan Chemical Industry Association (JCIA) Responsible Care Awards in 2015, in recognition of its activities toward “Skill Transfer, Education and Training in Process Industry," which have been conducted since FY2003/3.
