People can't enjoy their jobs and work towards a sustainable future unless they have a work environment that everyone finds fun and exciting. We create the ideal environment for a diversity of people, with diverse work styles, to thrive and shine, giving workers a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Individual thoughts on Satisfaction for Workers

Efforts and recommendations to create better work styles and more comfortable environments

I think it's important for us to actually put our ideas on creating a comfortable environment into practice before we make recommendations to our customers. With work styles becoming increasingly diversified, we will continue to imagine future work styles and try things out. We will draw upon the fruits of those experiences, both the successes and the failures, in our recommendations to customers. Projects such as office renovations require a tremendous amount of time and money, and we will actively challenge ourselves to create comfortable environments.

Efforts and recommendations to create better work styles and more comfortable environments

We aim to create work styles and comfortable environments where each employee can work with enthusiasm and enjoy a healthy and fulfilling working life. And not only within the company. We will draw upon our wealth of knowhow for recommendations aimed at creating work styles and environments for our customers.

• Address initiatives to promote preservation of health
• Propose new work styles and comfortable work environments

Transforming organizations to harness diversity

We aim to realize diversity and inclusion by transforming an organization that respects diversity into one that goes further and harnesses diversity. We will transform into an organization where there is no discrimination or harassment based on gender, age, region, nationality, religion or some other cause; an organization where human rights are protected and there is mutual understanding and tolerance.

• Promote diversity and inclusion

  PLUS Corporation touts the concept of “Respect & support free thinking and individualism” as one of its corporate values, striving to cultivate an inclusive corporate culture and create an environment respectful of diversity in ideas and values of each employee while allowing them to harness their abilities to their full extent.

• Achieve work/life balance

  PLUS Corporation is creating an environment where each employee can demonstrate their capabilities to their full extent and play an active role over the long term. In addition to creating an office environment enabling flexible working styles, various internal systems will also be implemented to boost motivation for work and improve productivity, with the aim of achieving a work-life balance suited to the individual lifestyles of each employee.

Future-oriented human resource training

With the aim of realizing a workplace where each employee can work enthusiastically and demonstrate their abilities to their full extent, we will enhance our personnel and education systems and create an environment where employees can receive appropriate training and guidance opportunities.

• Enhanced career support systems with expansion of education and training, and human resource exchange systems

  The PLUS Group views human resources as its greatest forte, and strives to create an environment where employees are able to maximize their capabilities by improving their skills and with self-driven growth. PLUS Corporation has developed a system allowing employees to select which field they want to focus on in a flexible manner in accordance with their career plans and stages in life, to ensure the company remains an appealing one for its employees. The system will continue being enhanced by engaging in dialogue, while also improving the “quality of life” of employees and building up awareness as an organization that develops together with them.
