Case Study: Daikin Middle East & Africa builds a data-driven leadership pipeline with Clevry

Daikin Middle East & Africa builds leadership pipeline across 1,000 employees with Clevry

Daikin Middle East & Africa, a major HVACR provider, faced the challenge of evolving its talent strategy beyond recruitment to build a robust, adaptive leadership pipeline capable of supporting its accelerated growth in a highly competitive region. Partnering with vendor Clevry, they moved from using psychometric assessments solely for selection to leveraging them as a strategic foundation for development, utilizing Clevry's platform of personality assessments and ability tests.

The solution implemented by Clevry provided data-driven insights into leadership traits and potential, which were integrated into Daikin’s People Discovery Program and combined with business simulations. This allowed HR to shift to a strategic advisory role, informed promotion and succession decisions, reduced bias, and improved the candidate and manager experience. As a result, Daikin gained a unified view of talent across the region, could identify common skill gaps to target with development programs, and laid the foundation for future-proofing leadership capability.
