Daikin’s Management Philosophy

Daikin believes in nurturing employees and having them act based on our group philosophy. We seek to achieve sustainable development and growth through means of shaping an environment wherein employees learn and grow, guided by values of People-Centered Management (PCM) philosophy, and putting these values into action. As the name suggests, PCM recognizes the value in investing in talents within the organization, and in turn entrusting these talents in aiding the organization scale greater heights.

Policy and Commitment

We believe in people’s infinite potential. The source of a company’s competitiveness is its people and that the cumulative growth of everyone is the foundation of a company’s growth. Nothing is more important than believing in the potential of people and developing the people to its fullest potential.

The program provides opportunities for young graduates to learn about Daikin’s operations in different departments and give them the option to convert to permanent staff at the end of the program. This ensures the sustainability of talents in the company.

This is also aligned with Daikin’s People-Centred Management (PCM) philosophy that all people have infinite potential. Valuing the differences of others will bring us together as one formidable force.

Work Life Harmony

 

Mental health in the workplace is top of mind for everyone these days. It has a significant impact on how we live our lives, including how we work. Supporting mental health in the workplace is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity.
Daikin will continue to prioritise the health, safety and well-being of our employees. This is supported by our mental wellness workshops, which allow our employees to understand and improve mental wellbeing. The workshops also encourage bonding and communications among our employees.


 



Employment Wellness

At Daikin, we believed that employees involved in wellness programs are healthier and experience more job satisfaction. They are more engaged and less absent from work. Our comprehensive employee wellness program can also help to keep our employees productive and happy and make it easier to attract new talent. These programs are crucial to our employees and our organization’s health and wellbeing. Helping and motivating our employees to stay healthy has a direct effect on the productivity, and thereby profits, of the company.

The Wellness Committee is formed by volunteers from different departments, and they planned activities to promote good health, wellness and build rapport & harmony among all employees in the Company.

Policy and Commitment

The wellness programs are designed to enhance employees’ engagement and teamwork. It is in line with Daikin’s practice of People-Centred Management (PCM), where the Company believes that “People are the source of its competitiveness” and the “Cumulative growth of all Group members serve as the foundation for the Group’s development”; “People is fundamentally good” and aims to “Build a true trustworthy relationship with a human touch and warmth of the heart” to draw out the motivation, understanding, and acceptance of all employees of DSP into one collective force.

The committee focuses on 2 main functional areas:

1) Sports & Healthy Lifestyle Programs
Programs to promote a healthy lifestyle such as health talks, workshops, cooking lessons & sports activities

2) Corporate Events
Programs to enhance team spirit & establish communications and harmony among employees. CSR events & activities to contribute to society. Examples are Team Bonding Trip, Retreats, Fund Raising Charity Events

Implementation of Digital Namecard

Daikin Singapore has taken a proactive approach towards digital transformation while prioritizing sustainability. Through the implementation of digital name cards for its employees, the company has demonstrated its commitment to leveraging technology for enhanced communication and reducing environmental impact.

Employees now have a convenient and easily accessible way to share their contact information with clients, partners, and colleagues. With a simple scan, they can effortlessly retrieve and save an employee's details, fostering seamless interactions and strengthening professional connections.

By eliminating the use of traditional paper-based name cards, Daikin Singapore is able to reduce paper consumption, thereby minimizing its environmental footprint. This digital alternative promotes a paperless working environment and reduces waste generation, aligning with Daikin's broader environmental initiatives and commitment to responsible business practices.

Through this initiative, Daikin Singapore paves the way for a more connected, sustainable, and future-ready business environment.
