(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and
Representative Director: Yoshiaki Tsuchiya). We received the “Award Grand Prize” in the “Mynavi Career Change BEST VALUE AWARD,” which recognizes companies that are working on salary increases, work style improvements, and career support. ■ What is “Mynavi Career Change BEST VALUE AWARD” Official website:
https://tenshoku.mynavi.jp/content/bestvalueaward/ Sponsor: Mynavi Co., Ltd. / Sponsored by: Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare This award recognizes companies that provide an environment where each employee can thrive, not only by increasing wages but also by improving work styles and productivity. Companies that engage in activities and initiatives that fall under one or more of the three categories of “increase in salary,” “improvement of work style,” and “career support” are eligible. This year was the first time the award was held, and 44 companies were recognized as nominated companies that had implemented excellent initiatives, of which 18 companies (3 grand prizes, 5 companies in 3 categories) received awards. ■ Reason for award By changing to a system that allows employees to aim for high salary levels without any upper limit in sales positions, the average annual salary has increased by 10%, the starting salary for new graduates has increased by 16% compared to 2025 graduates, and the number of new graduates hired has increased by 34%. The results showed that the increase in pay commensurate with effort led to motivation for work. In addition, we have achieved operational efficiency and work-life balance through the “Work Style Design” project, which aims to improve productivity for all occupations. Overtime hours were reduced by 41.2%. The company also received high marks for its psychological safety, including the introduction of a system that allows employees to take the initiative to improve their work styles. ■ About “work style design” This is our company’s work style reform project, in which employees take the initiative to change their work styles, with the aim of increasing productivity by improving operational efficiency and achieving work-life balance. Starting in August 2019, we have held meetings (commonly known as frog meetings) once a week to discuss “what we should do to improve our work styles” in teams that normally work together. We are creating an environment that supports diverse work styles. ■ Our approach to “work style design” ・Change to a system that allows sales staff to aim for a high salary level without any upper limit We reviewed the salary system and incentive system. In the new salary system, we have adopted a sales skill salary system that assesses items necessary for hospitality professionals and rewards employees according to their grade. Anyone can aim for a higher salary by improving their sales skills, regardless of their job title. In addition, in the incentive system, we will provide incentives based on the budget achievement rate of the store to which you belong and the sales generated by posting your own coordination on EC. These changes have resulted in a 10% increase in average annual income and increased motivation to aim for even higher goals. In addition, we hold the “BEST SHOP AWARD” every month to honor outstanding stores and share good practices, and the “Store Meister” program, which allows employees who have reached retirement age to continue working for a long time with appropriate treatment and pass on their skills. We are also focusing on passing on technology to the next generation. ・An employee who works as a professional belly dancer on the side while being in charge of public relations and promoting sustainable management at our company was introduced as an example of a “company that wants to support dual-career life” Public relations x belly dancer An environment that takes advantage of diverse individualities creates new challenges.
