Future Human Resource Strategy to Mobilize Power Regardless of Age, Gender, or Nationality
- An increasing number of companies rehire senior employees until age 65 to address labor shortages and pass on skills, but there are challenges in retaining senior employees and maintaining loyalty.
- Daikin is expected to be effective in motivating senior employees and passing on skills in terms of extending employment to age 65 without lowering wages.
- Daikin’s board members are older, so they fully understood that age was not an obstacle to senior employee success. On the other hand, Daikin faces many challenges in diversity.
