In the evolving landscape of the Middle East and Africa, Daikin is not only a leader in the field of HVAC-R solutions but also an innovator in the development of a workplace culture based on diversity, inclusion, and people-centered management (PCM). The company’s approach to corporate social responsibility has come a long way from traditional corporate theories; the leadership of the company unlocks the true potential of every team member by creating a culture of empowerment, driving engagement, and leaving a strong mark on the community they serve.

At the heart of Daikin's ethos lies PCM, a principle directed at the belief that every individual in the company has some underlying capacity. This philosophy forms the basis of every aspect of the organisation, shaping how performance issues are addressed. The company adopts a supportive approach rather than disciplinary measures; engagement here would involve training, consultation, coaching, and role realignment for growth and development.

At the core of the company’s success in the region is the diverse workforce comprising representatives from over 40 countries across all continents. Embracing diversity isn't a typical corporate buzzword for Daikin; it is a central principle of its operational strategy. The company actively recruits from different universities across the region while hiring from such an incredibly diverse ethnic community as the Middle East and Africa ensures that this is reflected in their talent pool.

Beyond recruitment policies implemented by Daikin, the company also stresses the need to practice diversity behaviorally. The company actively fosters an inclusive workplace environment, characterised by open-plan offices that promote collaboration and interaction among employees. Recently, Daikin introduced a new platform designed to enhance employee engagement further. Through this platform, colleagues can communicate, congratulate each other, and even reward one another, fostering a sense of camaraderie and appreciation.

Moreover, Daikin recognises the importance of local engagement and citizenship. Daikin creates beautiful relations in the communities they work in, not only to sustain the economy in the location but also to showcase their details in addressing community needs. Be it hiring practices, investments, or supporting local initiatives, Daikin personifies corporate social responsibility, literally from the ground up.

In the eyes of Daikin, fostering a vibrant organisational culture isn't just about internal dynamics; it's about building brand value and societal impact. By championing diversity, inclusion, and people-centered management, Daikin not only cultivates strong and dynamic teams but also drives innovation, and simultaneously enriches the lives of the communities it serves. The company remains steadfast in its dedication to creating a workplace where every individual thrives, regardless of background or origin.
