Human Resources Development

Fundamental Approach

Daihatsu’s vision for the future is rooted in its mission of “Staying close to our customers and enriching their lives.”
To achieve this, Daihatsu believes it is essential to become “a company where every employee can grow and feel happy to work here,” and considers realizing the “3 Ais” to be especially important. The principles set out in the 3 Ais may appear obvious at first glance, but they represent perspectives that Daihatsu believes must continue to be upheld unchanged, even as the surrounding environment and circumstances evolve. The Daihatsu Basic Human Resources Policy is linked to each of the 3 Ais and positioned as something employees should work on together as colleagues at Daihatsu.

Workplace Creation Activities

All operating officers and management are given psychological safety training and OC (sensitivity and communication) training. The aim is for all employees in management who take the course to gain knowledge and skills in communication and one-on-one meetings^* in order to create a psychologically safe workplace that forms the foundation to “create workplaces and culture in which employees can work happily” and to implement specific activities.

* One-on-one meetings: Regular, short one-on-one dialogue that supports the growth of members

Employee Evaluation and Feedback

The roles and themes of the operations of Daihatsu employees are passed on to division/department policies from corporate policies and are set as individual goals based on these policies. Daihatsu aims to support each and every employee in continuing to challenge themselves and grow with peace of mind by building a personnel development cycle (formulating growth roadmap > clarifying roles > training through work > reflection) based on supervisor-subordinate communication. Within this personnel development cycle, managers and employees regularly engage in dialogue and reflection, confirming performance and career development while connecting these discussions to future growth.

Personnel Development Cycle that Promotes Growth Through Communication

Hiring

Daihatsu hires human resources with the necessary qualities and abilities in a fair and equitable manner, regardless of their nationality, gender, disability, or other factors in order to realize its vision. We focus on recruiting human resources with the following qualities: “ability to pursue their ambitions without setting limits for themselves,” “ability to explore all possibilities and tackle various tasks beyond their boundaries,” and “ability to work anywhere in the world to meet diverse needs.”
In recent years, Daihatsu has worked to secure a diverse range of talent through initiatives such as career recruitment and hiring persons with disabilities, in addition to new graduate recruitment that includes accessible internship programs such as one-day workplace tours.

Education and Career Development

Fundamental Approach

To secure the talent needed to support future business operations, it is essential to build organizations that can leverage employees’ diverse perspectives and experiences. Daihatsu places importance on improving engagement and is advancing operational reforms centered on people. Daihatsu will gradually and continuously work to revise its systems and improve its educational and training policies.

Initiatives

Training Framework

Daihatsu has established a training system that enables employees to acquire the knowledge and skills needed at each level. In addition to required training for newly appointed employees and elective training that employees can take as needed, Daihatsu has introduced online learning services as part of its self-improvement support.
