To pursue a high level of organizational happiness, we aim to improve employee engagement and reduce employee turnover rate by increasing work productivity with an open organization which encourages many bottom-up ideas and by allowing employees to do high value-added jobs with enhanced expertise.
Also, we offer diverse work style options and develop an environment to allow employees to take advantage of their various attributes, skills, and values.
We set two KPIs: (1) optimization of labor resource allocation ratio and improvement of work productivity, and (2) reduction in employee turnover rate within the first five years.
We seek to earn higher fees for less working hours by improving work productivity and performing high value-added work.
In terms of improvement in employee engagement, we focus on aligning the direction and goals of organizational growth with those of personal growth of diverse employees while maintaining a balanced relationship between the organization and employees.
We define an employee-employer relationship as a “win-win relationship” and aim to reduce the employee turnover rate within the first five years. To achieve the two KPIs, we are taking the following approaches:
