Human resources are the key to growth for the Daiwa House group. We aim to place the right people in the right jobs to take best advantage of the abilities of our 18,000 group employees. To achieve this aim, each group company conducts seminars for each level and each job. We will provide management level employees with training to increase their awareness of the need to create a better working environment that respects the rights, health and safety of our employees, and that also provides them with greater motivation. We are also creating a system for general employees, which will enable them to develop their capabilities and talent on their own by selecting career paths and jobs themselves. In recruitment, we are actively recruiting new graduates and mid-career workers based on a policy of respecting personal qualities regardless of age, sex and physical ability. Indeed, Daiwa House Industry has achieved a higher rate of employment (1.92%) of disabled people than both the legal employment rate of 1.8% and the average among private companies of 1.48%. We will also promote the rehiring of retired employees with special skills within the group, and employ them to hand down and share technology and know-how, to provide better customer service.
