■ Overview of the award-winning office

Funai Soken Group 's Osaka headquarters office, " Sustainable Growth Square OSAKA," has opened on the 21st and 22nd floors of Innogate Osaka, directly connected to and above JR Osaka Station. The office was built with the concept of embodying the group's purpose, " Sustainable Growth for More Companies " and communicates the following three points:

① Sustainable Growth
The tea ceremony (with its iemoto system), which originated in the Kansai region and has a long history, is used as a symbol of "sustainable growth," and the purpose is embodied throughout the entire office.

② Japan-Originated (From Japan to the World)
By combining our group's management content with a luxurious, modern Japanese office built with the refined skills and artistry of artisans, we are sending a people-centered, Japanese style of management to Japan and the world.

③ Global OSAKA Identity (Inheritance of Tradition and Coexistence for the Future)
"Osaka, the city of commerce," has now evolved into "OSAKA, the international city," and its unique Osaka characteristics, such as humor, entertainment, and live communication, are being incorporated into office functions.

Going beyond simply renovating the office space, we implemented measures to address new ways of working and management challenges within the office environment. As a result, after the relocation, we achieved a 1.5-fold increase in attendance rates*1, a 50% reduction in employee turnover*2, and a doubling of visitor numbers*1, directly contributing to business growth. Furthermore, this office also functions as a "showroom management" base, allowing visitors to directly experience our sustainable growth management and human capital management practices.

■ Comment from Kana Ishii, General Manager of the Relocation Project Funai Soken Holdings Inc.

"We see this award as recognition not only for the office space design, but also for the new ways of working that we are trying to realize there, and for Initiatives themselves that contribute to solving management challenges. An office is not finished once it is completed; it is something that evolves together with the employees who use it every day. Encouraged by this award, we will continue to position our office as a 'hub for disseminating sustainable growth growth management,' and while building an office that generates new value, we will collaborate with clients, partners, local Society , and industry, academia, and government to contribute to producing more companies that achieve sustainable growth."
