[“Starting salary handover” conducted every year since our founding] “Emotional bond” that improves employee engagement
*-Implemented on 5/20 (Monday)-Instillation of philosophy and human resource development to achieve 2nd place in the young category and Best Company for 9 consecutive years in the “Ranking of Companies with Great Places to Work”*
Achievement Co., Ltd. (location: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Chairman and President: Hitoshi Aoki), which celebrates its 37th anniversary this year, has continued to hand over a starting salary to new employees since its founding as an opportunity to instill its philosophy. Masu. This year it will be held on Monday, May 20th. The representative will directly hand over the starting salary to each of the 37 new employees.
* ■“Emotional connection” between companies and employees is the key to engagement*
The spread of the new coronavirus has led to a rapid shift to online activities in Japan. Many companies have introduced remote work, and even in fields other than work, social culture has changed to one that emphasizes efficiency, such as online medical examinations and online classes.
Under such circumstances, there are indicators that many companies are paying attention to. This is engagement, which is used in the human resources field to mean “a relationship in which employees and companies come together as one, allowing them to grow and contribute to each other.”
Engagement is different from “loyalty” and “employee satisfaction,” which have traditionally been focused on, and is enhanced by the two-way relationship between employees and companies. It is said that if an organization can have a high level of engagement, the retention rate of human resources will improve, and a company’s productivity and performance can be expected to improve.
There are various initiatives to increase engagement, but the key is for companies to think about each and every employee, and to introduce systems and communicate with them. Although this initiative is the exact opposite of the social culture that emphasizes efficiency, it is a measure that allows for real communication and conveys the warmth of people. In other words, the key to improving engagement is for both companies and employees to connect emotionally.
* ■“Hand delivery of initial salary” from the representative to new employees since the company’s founding period*
Since our company’s founding, we have continued to provide new employees with their starting salary.
Managers and representatives tend to be distant to new employees. By directly handing each employee their first salary, the representative expresses his gratitude and expectations for becoming a member of the company, and provides an opportunity to instill the company’s philosophy in conveying the company’s values.
In April of this year, 37 new employees joined the company. New employees from all over the country will gather together and our representative, Aoki, will hand over their first salaries.
