Workplace tour

OMRON considers extending support for people with disabilities to be a key area of its CSR activities. As such, the OMRON Group as a whole promotes employment of disabled persons, while actively encouraging society to expand job opportunities for people with special needs.


For example, in April 2006 OMRON Personnel Service Co., Ltd., which deals with overall human resource solutions, launched a new service to promote recruiting and employment of persons with disabilities. In August of 2007, the company began organizing events that assist university students with disabilities in their job-hunting efforts.


These activities are backed by the know-how that OMRON Personnel has accumulated in its in-house efforts to provide a work environment that helps workers with disabilities fully demonstrate their capabilities. In 2004, examples include the opening of a "barrier-free" office, the availability of resident caregivers, and the establishment of a teleworking system that facilitates working at home.(Photo:Workplace tour)

Staff members with disabilities serving as advisors for finding jobs

Since April 2006, OMRON Personnel has been providing a two-way service that offers both job-hunting support for persons with disabilities and consultation for companies recruiting workers with disabilities. For job-hunters, OMRON Personnel's advisors introduce information on job opportunities and give advice on job-seeking for workers with disabilities. Even after they find jobs, the staff offers ongoing support and consultation. OMRON staff members with disabilities themselves serve as advisors, and empathetically provide advice by drawing on their own work experience.

For client companies recruiting workers, OMRON Personnel provides customized consultation services, by individually organizing seminars regarding laws related to employment of disabled persons, various subsidies and establishment of easy-to-work environments for disabled employees.

As a result of these efforts, 15 job seekers were hired by recruiting companies in 2007.

Workplace tours and job-hunting seminars for students with disabilities

Many employment assistance events have been organized for students. However, these events may lack sufficient consideration for people with disabilities. Students with disabilities have often commented on the difficulties they experience when participating in an ordinary seminar or job-hunting event. In response to these claims, OMRON Personnel launched new job-hunting support events for students with disabilities in 2007.

For four days in August, OMRON Personnel organized a workplace tour. Some 50 participating students visited an OMRON Personnel office where they were able to observe and meet staff with disabilities who were actively involved in the company's work. The students also heard about the work experiences of OMRON Personnel employees as well as the job-hunting experience of a university student who had already received a job offer. After the event, one student remarked, "I was impressed with the attitude of OMRON Personnel employees. They approach their work with a deep sense of responsibility." Another said, "I know how hard it is to get started in the workplace. But after this tour I realized that I must take on the challenge and start working." Yet another person commented, "People who work at OMRON Personnel are filled with vitality, and their joy at being able to work was contagious."

In August and December, OMRON Personnel also hosted job-hunting seminars, which took place for three days of each month. These seminars were intended to give advice to disabled students, such as tips for taking aptitude tests and writing entry sheets, and other important aspects of job-hunting. The company sent invitations to 48 universities for these seminars, which drew a total of 80 participating students from 19 universities.

In 2008 and onward, OMRON Personnel will continue holding job-hunting support events in Osaka, Hyogo and Shiga prefectures.
