Female leader training program to promote women to positions of responsibility

Empowering women in the workplace is one of the focused areas of CSR activities for the second stage of GD2010. To recruit a variety of highly talented people, regardless of gender, and encourage all employees to demonstrate their capabilities to the fullest for the company's business management, OMRON strives to create a more comfortable working environment for women as well as men and promote more women to managerial positions.

As part of this drive, OMRON launched the female leader training program during fiscal 2001, and the fourth course was completed in fiscal 2007. Thanks to these efforts, the number of women in managerial or upper positions or with specialist status, as well as female leaders, has been gradually on the rise. As of March 2008, five women are in managerial positions and 69 are workplace leaders.
