With respect for basic human rights set forth in the OMRON Group CSR Practice Guidelines, all employees are provided with human rights training at each workplace of all Group companies in Japan. OMRON Corporation also offers human rights training programs depending on rank, targeting new employees, mid-career recruits, new supervisors, new managerial-class employees, Central Human Rights Committee members and directors, in order to enhance human rights awareness among all directors and employees.

In fiscal 2007, the training program included a seminar for directors by an external expert, and training for newly appointed managers at Group companies in Japan.

Aiming to raise human rights awareness in Group companies overseas as well, OMRON will review the education programs at each of four regions (China, Asia Pacific, Americas and Europe) and support training at each company.
