Self-Development

For Education, Motivation and Interest.

We believe that people don’t grow when training and education are imposed. Rather, our employees grow, reinforce their values, enhance thinking and behavior as a result of their own motivation and interests.

Employee Development

An environment that provides excitement on a daily basis

Skill-Up Seminars

With the aim of improving technical skills directly related to our business, for example web design and coding, our staff become lecturers and host internal seminars where they share know-how and offer hints for success. Occasionally, guest presenters from outside the company are invited to give seminars. Furthermore, it is possible for staff to attend work-related external seminars.

Tech Lounge

Tech Lounge, organized by our Seisaku Honbu (Development Division), is an informal gathering where employees get together to share information. The Lounge, to which all staff are invited, provides an opportunity for information sharing and proactive discussion on the latest technologies, industry trends and suchlike.

Global Talent Development Program

To assist in transactions with our growing number of international clients as well as to ensure smoother global site development projects, we have native English speakers who work with staff on international projects and support employee language development through classes and internal seminars. As our employees build their English ability they participate in overseas seminars and conferences related to various aspects of the web, thus allowing them to gain know-how, gauge future industry trends, as well as experience the latest web-related technologies.
