In-house Staff Recruitment System

To value the ambitions of each employee, OMRON Corporation launched an in-house recruitment system in fiscal 2000. Employees who have been with the company for two or more years are qualified to apply. In fiscal 2005, this system was expanded to cover the jobs/projects of four Group companies. The purpose of the in-house staff recruitment system is to strengthen business overall and allow employees to maximize their capabilities. This is achieved by matching OMRON's needs with employee wishes during staff placement and transfer. Under the system, departments that are recruiting workers announce the requirements for jobs that demand special capabilities or skills, or tasks that require a particularly strong will and determination, such as new business/product projects. Interested employees are free to apply for these positions.

Overview of the system	A recruiting department announces the requirements for a job that demands special capabilities/skills, or that requires a strong will and determination (such as new business/product projects). Employees who want to challenge themselves to the job/project offered can apply for it on their own initiative. Candidates are evaluated according to capability, determination and aptitude for the job through screening of application documents and interviews. The current manager of the applicant is not involved in the application/selection processes. However, if an employee applies for a job offered by a Group company, the personnel department of the business company (BC) to which the employee belongs confirms the employee's desire to transfer.
Job categories	Job opportunities offered by OMRON Corporation or BCs Job opportunities offered by Group companies
Eligibility	Employees who have worked at a specific job or in a specific organization of OMRON for two or more years

Specialists System

In fiscal 2005, OMRON Corporation launched a system that designates as "specialists" those employees who are willing to contribute to the company's business by demonstrating their highly specialized talent and expertise. The system, developed originally by OMRON, is designed to provide employees with greater opportunities and motivation. The specialists system encourages employees to challenge themselves through special initiatives, such as taking up to a one-year leave for the purpose of sharpening their expertise, and entering into a "post-retirement master specialists" contract.

This system is designed to clearly identify the desired personnel and provide them with appropriate remuneration that reflects their level of professionalism and performance.

Because the specialists system presents an alternative path of career development than assuming managerial positions, it also has a positive impact on employee motivation. This has resulted in an increasing number of employees who want to become skilled specialists.
