What is the ranking of “best places to work” in Japan?
GPTW Japan quantifies the results of the questionnaire survey of companies participating in the certification and ranking, and certifies companies that exceed a certain level as “certified companies that are rewarding to work for.” In addition, the top 100 certified companies with particularly high levels of job satisfaction are announced every year as the “best 100 companies to work for” ranking. The questionnaire consists of two types, one for employees and one for companies, and a committee consisting of GPTW Japan and external experts reads it carefully, scores it, and determines the ranking.
Our company was awarded 16th place in the 25-99 employees category, and entered the TOP 20 for the second consecutive year.
Top 3 “I-Goods job satisfaction points” revealed in the survey
For this survey, based on the results of a questionnaire of people working at our company, the following are the top three
characteristics that can be said to be relatively strong compared to other companies of the same size.

In order to provide valuable services, it is necessary for us employees to be in the best physical and mental condition. Based on this idea, for example, we have established a system that allows employees to receive a certain amount of allowance if they live within walking distance of the office so that they can shorten their commuting time and make effective use of their daily activity time. In addition, there is a system called i-goods chef, where you can eat a nutritious lunch during business negotiations, and we support the creation of an environment where employees can easily demonstrate their performance, such as supporting their eating habits.
2. Fair profit sharing
At our company, we do not focus only on results and do not care about the process of evaluation. We have adopted a personnel growth system. This system fairly evaluates the efforts and abilities of employees and provides compensation based on that. As a result, many employees feel satisfied with the conditions and are proud of their
achievements.
3. High business management ability of management and managers When deciding the direction of our business, we flexibly respond to changes in the market and society without being bound by the framework of the industry, and continue to steer our company’s strengths to growth markets. In fact, by utilizing the monozukuri (manufacturing) capabilities that we have cultivated since our founding, we have expanded our business to other markets such as the SDGs and the robot business, leading to the resolution of various social issues from goods. By gradually expanding the range of contributions, we are able to create a sense of satisfaction among our employees.
In this way, our company has made “creating an environment where everyone can continue to work energetically” as an important item, and has strengthened the maintenance of the internal system. When employees themselves feel that the work environment is healthy, it leads to a sense of trust between the company and employees, and promotes the growth of the organization as a whole.
The secret to being in the TOP 20 for the second year in a row: Developing a “human resource strategy” before developing a business strategy
In addition to the above three strengths, we believe that our company’s attitude of formulating human resource strategies before business strategies is also largely responsible for “job
satisfaction.” No matter how good your business strategy is, it is the people who will execute it. It is no exaggeration to say that the growth and perspective of each employee determines the success or failure of an organization or business.
Our company adopts a human resources strategy that uses three stages: recruitment, training, and active participation. In addition to recruiting, which is the first button in management, we also regard it as the responsibility of the company until the employees who have become friends play an active role, and we value the attitude of fulfilling the “responsibility to nurture” and “responsibility to grow” with each other.

Developing active human resources who lead them to realize the significance of their work rather than earning a living
There are many different concepts of job satisfaction, but the true ease of work is more important than the enhancement of welfare programs and other systems. I think it refers to the state of being. It is said that how to perceive work can be classified into three categories: “job (work)”, “career (realization of growth)”, and “calling (work itself is value)”. Those who regard work as a “job” have the idea that work is simply to earn money, while those who regard work as a “career” are stuck in the realm of self-growth. At our company, we focus on developing human resources who can “call” people who can find meaning in their work, increase their own happiness, and have a positive impact on those around them. All employees who have joined our company take responsibility for their own work and are trained to work with a sense that they are
contributing to society through self-fulfillment and that their work has meaning.

We will continue to focus on creating internal systems and developing human resources to expand the circle of social contribution. 【overview】
