About “STAFF EX PROJECT”
The “STAFF EX PROJECT” is a project initiated by our company to improve the EX (employee experience) (*) of store staff together with companies and brands in various industries, including retail and services.
*What is EX (employee experience)?
It is a concept that aims to increase employee satisfaction and engagement. In Japanese, it is translated as “employee experience”, and EX also includes psychological and sensory aspects such as what employees felt and thought through experience.
In addition, many companies overseas are already actively working on measures to improve EX and the establishment of specialized
departments. However, there are also results that generate four times more profits than companies that do not. (According to a Harvard Business Review survey)
