Konnichiwa!
-
Welcome to Tokyo, Japan. I'm Scott Sato, President of Pasona Inc,
-
one of the largest human resources companies in Japan.
-
Let's take a look inside.
-
So this area here, is open to the public, and it's a free space to use anyway you want.
-
All the furniture here is from Bali, Indonesia, so it's a little bit unique
-
and we look forward to seeing other people here.
-
This is one of our sales offices. Take a look inside.
-
So it's open space.
-
The head of sales sits in the middle, and everybody else sits around.
-
It's all open and free.
-
So this is another one of our floors.
-
Everybody gets to pick their own design. They picked the beach bar as their design.
-
And they actually have real sand.
-
We also have a cafeteria for our employees. We have about 4,000 employees here.
-
We can take about 500 employees for each seating.
-
Lunches are $5 and you can eat anything you want, and salad is free.
-
And then at night, dinners are all free, paid by the company.
-
So here's our gym. We have it set up so that employees can come in here anytime
-
for an hour, 10 minutes. There's special programs set up so that
-
they can just go in their clothes and their suits and they don't have to break a sweat.
-
But they get some exercise during the day.
-
I actually have a 4:30 appointment myself.
-
Konnichiwa!
-
Konnichiwa!
-
70% of our employees are women.
-
And we're one of the first companies in Japan to have an in-house nursery.
-
This nursery allows women to get to work as soon as the kids are old enough to come in.
-
We think it's very important for women to have a balance between work and home.
-
This allows them to bring their kids to work and to have time with the kids, whenever they want.
-
First we're gonna take a look at our nail and massage area.
-
One of the most important things for us is to make sure that the employees are happy
-
and they can relax whenever they want to.
-
This is a great place for women to come in, take an hour,
-
to get their nails done and get a massage and to really feel at home.
-
We're going to go up to the farm now, we have a farm inside the building
-
which is one of only two licenses in Tokyo.
-
We have two cows, six pigs, and 10 or 13 goats.
-
They all live in Tokyo on the 13th floor.
-
We have these full-time professional staff, right from college.
-
They work here on a full-time basis taking care of these animals.
-
But we have in-house veterinarians that take care of the animals on a weekly basis.
-
So they're probably taken care of better than we are.
-
You can take these and then...
-
It's a huge benefit for employees to come up here and take a break,
-
see some animals, watch them eat.
-
Especially if you come in at four o'clock in the afternoon,
-
they're crying for food and it's quite interesting to watch.
-
In Tokyo, having animals is not too common.
-
There's only two licenses that were provided in Tokyo,
-
one is for the emperor in the palace,
-
and then the other one is for us, and so those are the only two licenses in Tokyo.
-
Thanks for coming to the Pasona office today,
-
I gotta get back to the gym, my trainer is waiting for me, it's 4:30.
-
Bye bye!
