ENGAGEMENT
Our policy on employee engagement
Employees are essential to the Mynavi Group, and we also consider that enhancing employee engagement is crucial to the Group’s growth. We will respond to changes in work styles triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and other trends of the times and implement appropriate employee engagement initiatives.
Initiatives to promote communication with employees
-
Starting in 2018, we conduct a survey twice a year to visualize employee engagement.
We are also implementing initiatives to provide more opportunities for the management team and employees to talk to one another, including the “organizational culture reform task force for the creation of a safe and secure workplace environment,” a platform that gives employees a chance to directly ask the management team questions.
In addition, as an effort to increase internal communication, we are working to strengthen our ties within each division and as across divisions by, among others, posting articles featuring individual employees in our company newsletter.
Results of engagement survey
The results of the engagement survey that we conducted in July 2023 show that the engagement score was 59.1 points, an increase of 2.2 points from the previous survey and a record high. With respect to detailed survey items, the satisfaction level improved by 0.1 points for 43 of the 64 items. The overall satisfaction level improved for the company as well as for superiors.
In addition, the satisfaction level exceeded the median of 3.0 points for all of the 64 survey items. These results show that we have transitioned from a phase in which efforts should be focused on making an improvement in under-par items to a phase in which it is more important to make an improvement toward achieving our vision.
*The engagement score is intended to quantify the level of the attachment that employees feel to their company, the level of understanding between employees and their company, and the level of liking for one another. The score is calculated for each company by using survey data collected on Motivation Cloud provided by Link and Motivation Inc. It quantitatively represents the company’s position in all surveyed companies, with the average score being 50 points. The survey consists of the three areas of the company, immediate superiors, and workplace environment and asks questions about 64 survey items related to these three areas. For each of the 64 survey items, the expectation level and the satisfaction level are measured, from which an overall score is calculated.

Mynavi’s strengths and weaknesses shown by engagement survey results
Mynavi’s strengths continue to be to be the unity within small organizational units and close communication. Particular factors contributing to our high employee engagement are that employees are able to frankly communicate with immediate superiors, that immediate superiors listen attentively to employees’ opinions and ideas, and that immediate superiors provide support for employees when they face a problem.
Meanwhile, the survey results show that our weaknesses are the same as in the previous survey: appropriateness of employee performance evaluation and salary; a sense of satisfaction about recruitment and assignment; and acquisition of professional skills. Based on these results, the Mynavi Group will implement and execute initiatives such as introducing a new human resource management system, expanding its job posting program, and strengthening employee development.
