SoftwareOne Japan's Initiatives for a Comfortable Workplace SoftwareOne implements various global initiatives to enable each employee to respect one another and fully utilize their capabilities, including enhancing internal systems, benefits, and internal revitalization projects.

- Adherence to 6 Core Values Since its inception, SoftwareOne has upheld 'Core Values.' These serve as guidelines for all actions and decision-making, shaping interactions not only with customers and partners but also among employees. By serving as a daily judgment standard, these values contribute significantly to maintaining and improving morale.

- Hybrid Work Style At SoftwareOne, employees generally decide their office attendance days. Employees can choose to work from the office or remotely on a daily basis depending on job content, family situation, and desired work style. This helps reduce stress related to commuting and interpersonal relationships, allowing individuals to freely decide based on personal comfort and productivity.

- Employee Engagement Survey An annual, fully anonymous employee satisfaction survey is conducted globally. This survey checks individual satisfaction regarding career paths and relationships, with issues actively addressed.

- Regular Team Building and Lunch Meetings To prevent the dilution of cooperation and friendship caused by reduced office attendance under the hybrid model, SoftwareOne holds monthly team-building events and lunch meetings, providing opportunities for those seeking such connections.

- Employee Consultation Desk Trusted HR representatives manage a consultation desk covering everything from compliance violations and harassment to individual career consultations and interpersonal issues, providing strong support for problem-solving.

- Various ESG Activities SoftwareOne has formulated unique ESG Core Commitments and implements various initiatives to achieve them.
