The azbil Group’s health and well-being management
Initiatives for promoting diversity encompass a wider range of people and strive to offer varied work styles appropriate for the different stages and events in one’s life, such as providing support for those who are raising a child while working. The azbil Group has plans where employees, regardless of factors such as gender, age and nationality, can work in an environment continuously with ease while increasing job satisfaction. Starting in FY2017, the Group established the Azbil Diversity Network for the purpose of promoting diversity and is steadily engaging in initiatives with a three-pronged approach focusing on reforming the corporate culture and awareness, expanding active participation of a diverse workforce, and promoting diverse work styles.
Based on the corporate philosophy of “human-centered automation,” the azbil Group continues to engage in initiatives to further health and well-being management, and by providing a workplace where employees can work in a lively manner and show their full potential, the Group contributes “in series” to the achievement of a sustainable society and continual growth.
