Employee Engagement

Employee Engagement Promotion Programs

LIFULL is defined by the will of our employees to realize our corporate philosophy. As part of that, we are creating an environment and internal programs that help the individual talents of each and every one of our employees flourish and enable them to challenge themselves in order to overcome difficulties in their lives.
How well a candidate fits in with the corporate culture and philosophy is a pillar of our hiring process. Since all of our employees are working under the same set of values, we are able to maintain a high level of motivation in the workplace.
Furthermore, we have taken various measures to challenge our employees to encourage self-motivation and self-confidence. Not only are we offering the opportunity for our employees to act on their intrinsic motivation, we also believe that providing a working environment and corporate culture where employees can speak freely across organizational levels will help remove barriers from personal growth.
Human resources management at LIFULL is primarily based on employee self-motivation. Therefore, the Company does not unilaterally determine job appointments, transfers or job changes. We have established a career choice program to enable job changes at the employee’s own volition. Employees are allowed to transfer to different departments to achieve their own career goals. During employee evaluations, we do not only look at the short-term successes, but also place importance on living out the values of the company.

Employee Engagement Survey to Monitor Employee Satisfaction

We conduct semiannual surveys in order to gain a deeper understanding and improve the overall organization.

Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits and Support for Work-Life Balance

Our employees have access to an employee benefit program in order to increase motivation and offer a good working environment.

• Employee Shareholding Association Benefits: Employees at the headquarters and other Group companies are able to participate in the Employee Shareholder Association. This association seeks to help employees build their equity and gain a deeper understanding of the Company's share price. The Company matches 20% of investments made by employees.

• Seminars on Building Personal Equity and Assets
• Sponsorship of Internal Clubs
