In addition to strictly observing legal requirements for hiring persons with disabilities, OMRON is dedicated to creating expanded opportunities that allow such persons to leverage their skills and abilities by aggressively constructing 'barrier-free' working environments.

Employees with Disabilities Currently Make Up 2.04% of Toral OMRON Group Employees in Japan

At OMRON Corporation the percentage of persons with disabilities was 2.40% in fiscal 2006, up 0.11 points from the previous year. This level is 0.6 points above the legally mandated level (1.8%). This is largely attributable not only to OMRON Taiyo Co., Ltd. and OMRON Kyoto Taiyo Co., Ltd. (special subsidiaries charged with providing special considerations for employees with disabilities) but also to the improved employment rate of OMRON Corporation. Also due to its proactive efforts the overall Group-wide percentage in Japan became 2.04%, an increase of 0.16 points from the fiscal 2005 level.

In fiscal 2007, OMRON aims to achieve 1.8% at all Japanese Group companies without exception, and raise the domestic Group-wide percentage to 2.3%, among the highest for the Japanese manufacturing industry.
