* Creating a working environment and initiatives that foster job satisfaction* The source of the Five Group’s job satisfaction lies in its
“philosophical management,” in which all staff work to create an environment based on our corporate philosophy. On top of that, we use GPTW’s “Great Places to Work” ranking as our management guidelines, and work to improve the working environment based on objective evaluations. Our main focus is on the following four points.
(1) Ideas for giving meaning to work
・All employees learn our unique way of thinking about “work” during new employee training upon joining the company.
・A promotion system where the condition for promotion is to verbalize each person’s “ideal”
・Follow-up training and growth support MTG to understand and improve the current situation relative to the “ideal”, etc.
(2) Abundance of opportunities to be grateful
– Opportunity for employees and part-time workers to mutually exchange thank you cards
・Anniversary leave system to help you spend important days with your loved ones, such as birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
・Gift system for employees’ parents or spouses, etc.
(3) Fostering a sense of solidarity through a variety of events and tools ・In-house LINE “5ine” that connects all employees, including part-time workers, and creates mutual communication
・Once a year, almost all stores are closed and all employees gather for “Five Festival”
・“Club activity system” that allows employees to participate in sports, hobbies, etc. with their colleagues during work hours, etc. (4) Initiatives that involve everyone in creating a company that is rewarding to work for
・Implemented the staff survey “Stapo” to understand the status of job satisfaction and improve the environment for all employees and part-time workers (collected about 1,300 ideas and requests per month) – Turn company-wide focus issues such as community contribution activities and recruitment into cross-sectional projects, and create a system where enthusiastic applicants can get involved.
*Becoming a food and beverage company that represents the 21st century* Five Group, which started with the founding philosophy of “creating an environment where everyone involved can have fun,” has celebrated its 21st anniversary.
In 2020, we updated our philosophy to “Create a fun and connected world” in order to expand the number of people involved and become a company that is open to society. We create fun for everyone, including employees and part-time workers, and make customers want to come back again. Together, we will create a workplace that is rewarding enough to change the image of the food and beverage industry. This is what we aim to be as a “food and beverage company that represents the 21st century.”
We feel that being the only Japanese food and beverage company to be ranked in Asia’s “Great Places to Work” ranking means that we are one step closer to realizing that vision. Five Group will continue to make company-wide efforts to create a rewarding work environment, and strive to become a “21st century food and beverage company” that is needed by society and continues to have a positive impact on the industry and society. I declare that I will continue to do so. ■Company name
