Consistent with the Company’s Flexible Work Arrangement* policy, an essential function of an on-site/office-based position requires an employee to perform a regular portion of their duties at a Company facility.

Working in this manner is consistent with the Company’s philosophy of “kaizen,” as well as facilitates important team interactions, enhances learning and development, and supports relationship building. These functions are critical to our business operations and consistent with the Company’s value of “genchi, genbutsu, genjitsu” to see and understand where work is done.
