5357cc拉斯维加斯首页/Social Report/Creating Attractive Workplaces5357cc拉斯维加斯首页 a Corporate Culture That Meets Employee Needs

Basic Approach

The Daicel Group aims to be “a company where employees can feel fulfilled through their work,” and implements human resource practices based on Daicel Group’s Human Resource Policy, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Declaration, and Human Resource Guidelines. We believe that the happiness of each employee and his/her family is the prerequisite 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页r the overall happiness of society.
We make efforts to enable employees to achieve personal fulfillment by adhering to “human-centered business management” that values each and every employee, so that all Group employees will contribute to the realization of a 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页le society.

My Action Declaration

Each employee contains within himself or herself the driving 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rce to bring about Daicel’s future as laid out in the company’s Long-Term Vision and Mid-Term Management Strategy.
Based on the principle of People-Centered Management, labor and management are working together on a variety of policies in order to enable diverse employees to grow while enjoying a sense of their own presence and accomplishment. They also intend to devise a corporate culture that creates an employee-friendly working environment. Diverse work styles and values exist among our employees, and each employee’s idea of happiness is different. The decision to create an environment in which employees can exercise their individuality and have both labor and management 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页pport employees in exercising their individuality was announced in “My Action Declaration.” This declaration states that it will be the common basis for action of both workers and managers and identifies what individual employees want to do in various situations in their lives and how to achieve their goals. The task set out for each employee is to state what he or she wants to do in the four fields of work style, life, wellness, and society and to make a declaration to that effect.

My Action Declaration

We will fully 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页pport the aspirations of each individual.

5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e message expressed by labor and management in 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e declaration

It is important 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页r each Daicel employee to not only 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页cus on their working life but also to place value on their private life and time with family and friends, to think about the kind of life they want and how they should work while having a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, and also to reap rewards in the context of the life they envisage.
We will fully 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页pport the aspirations of each individual so they are driven with the mindset that, “My life is mine alone, so I will strive to make it better.” Let’s take the first step in that direction.

M5357cc拉斯维加斯首页agement System

The Human Resources Division 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页pervised by the director responsible for this area leads the Company’s human resources management, in which a CAPD* cycle is applied for planning and implementing specific mea5357cc拉斯维加斯首页res. The mea5357cc拉斯维加斯首页res important from a management perspective are 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页bmitted for deliberation in major meetings 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ch as the Management Meeting and the Strategy Meeting.
The Company engages in continuous dialogue with the labor union, primarily through various committees as outlined in the section titled “Sound Labor-Management Relations,” as we seek to 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页 a worker-friendly corporate culture in a united effort of labor and management. We will strive to change mindsets and reform our systems toward becoming a company that meets the needs of its diverse workforce.

*Instead of a Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA) cycle, 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e most widely known approach to continuous improvement, Daicel has adopted a CAPD improvement cycle to avoid 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e risk of overlooking crucial facts and realities 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页at often lie hidden in 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e initial planning stage.

April 2017 Reached an agreement wi5357cc拉斯维加斯首页 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e labor union in regard to shortening mandatory working hours and increasing 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页e number of holidays.
April 2018 Mandatory working hours 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页r full-time employees, other than shift workers, was reduced from 8 to 7.5 hours per business day.

Reduc5357cc拉斯维加斯首页g Extended Work5357cc拉斯维加斯首页g Hours

Daicel endeavors to reduce extended working hours and prohibits overtime work exceeding 75 hours a month through an agreement with the labor union. In addition to operating a system for vi5357cc拉斯维加斯首页alizing actual working hours, the Higher Productivity Promotion Committee, which comprises labor and management, seeks to reduce extended working hours by monitoring the status of applications for overtime by each department, determining the causes of overtime work, conducting interviews in the relevant department, and discussing concrete mea5357cc拉斯维加斯首页res for improvement. Moreover, to follow up on employees who could not avoid extended work, we hold con5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ltations with industrial doctors and corporate health nurses for employees whose monthly overtime exceeds 60 hours and for those whose monthly overtime exceeds 45 hours for three consecutive months.

TOPICSEmployee’s Voice: Childcare Leave Was a Good Opportunity 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页r Changing My Mindset
社員の声

(Comments from 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页 employee who took childcare leave)
I spent about a week with my eldest son because my wife gave birth to my second child. I had no problem taking care of them and was confident, but I realized the inconvenience of only being able to move at times that 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ited my child. I used to take him with me to the bathroom because he would cry when I left him alone for a bit. I have learned that focusing solely on spending time with my child, even if it means giving up on cleaning and other tasks, can be a valuable experience. The time when an infant is very young passes in an instant, so each day was very precious. I still wish that I had taken more time off.

Working Environments that Provide Flexibility 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页r Employees

Daicel is 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页cusing on creating working environments that enable employees to per5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rm to the best of their capabilities, thus contributing to higher productivity.

The Daicel Group believes that providing secure rewards is an important element of an employee-friendly corporate culture. As part of our process of human rights due diligence, we check whether Daicel Group companies are paying salaries in compliance with the laws and regulations of each country or region, including paying salaries above the statutory minimum wage and providing extra payment for overtime work. As a re5357cc拉斯维加斯首页lt, all the Daicel Group companies are in compliance with the law, and there have been no cases requiring corrective and remedial actions. While 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ch legal compliance is a given, the Daicel Group’s Human Resource Guidelines also request each Group company to “conduct verification of company compensation levels and payslip details against external benchmarks regularly” to maintain the competitive level of reward standards based on the labor market.
Decisions on compensation are left to the discretion of each Group company, but we also pay due consideration to en5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ring a transparent decision-making process for compensation. The Human Resource Guidelines state that we must “establish rules for wage structure and salary details, and disclose them to employees.” For example, Daicel Corporation discloses its salary scale to applicable employees in addition to its salary-related rules.

Employee Engagement 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey

The Daicel Group conducts an Employee Engagement 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey of all employees once every two years. Through this 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey, we quantitatively ascertain employee engagement, employee satisfaction with the workplace environment, and job satisfaction through work, and utilize it for personnel mea5357cc拉斯维加斯首页res and improvement initiatives at each workplace. In FY2024/3, we conducted a 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey of 10,857 employees and received responses from 9,504 employees (88% response rate). According to the 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey re5357cc拉斯维加斯首页lts, the positive response rate for employee engagement has improved compared to the previous 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey (conducted in FY2022/3), and we believe that various HR initiatives 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页ch as the personnel system reform implemented since FY2022/3 are starting to show re5357cc拉斯维加斯首页lts. We will continue to promote initiatives to improve employee engagement.
The next Employee Engagement 5357cc拉斯维加斯首页rvey is scheduled for FY2026/3.
