Kikagaku's Commitment to Employee Satisfaction

Kikagaku, a prominent player in the field of advanced technology education and AI implementation support, has been recognized by the Great Place to WorkⓇ Institute Japan as a top workplace for 2026. This accolade reflects the company's consistent efforts over the past four years in creating a rewarding and supportive work environment.

Key Aspects of Recognition

The recognition is based on several evaluation points:

1. Comprehensive Welfare Programs: Kikagaku has established robust welfare systems to ensure each employee can work with peace of mind. Building on the previous year, they continue to enhance remote work facilities, implement childcare support, and provide learning aids. These initiatives not only boost productivity but also foster an environment conducive to personal growth. The company continuously invests in methods that balance employee motivation with job performance.

2. Supportive Workplace Environment: The company prioritizes the improvement of office settings and IT infrastructure, ensuring that employees can thrive in a well-designed workspace that encourages concentration and efficient communication through advanced digital tools. These investments aim to maximize performance and strengthen team collaboration.

3. Adaptive Organizational Culture: Kikagaku's team embraces a culture of flexibility, encouraging each member to respond adeptly to changes while instigating their own transformations. They continually adapt to shifts within society and the education sector, ensuring that all employees act in alignment with the mission and values to support sustainable growth.

Fostering an Environment for Mission Achievement

Kikagaku operates under the mission of 'liberating human potential through proper education', firmly believing that the growth of each employee drives business success. To facilitate ongoing learning and challenges, the company actively provides benefits and improves working conditions. Examples of this include a book purchase program for intellectual growth, a body maintenance initiative to safeguard health, and provisions for home office supplies.

In addition to tangible benefits, Kikagaku emphasizes a culture that adapts flexibly to changes in society and business. They ensure that every employee is empowered to think independently, take action, and embrace change. Kikagaku is committed to evolving as an organization that embodies the philosophy of 'liberating human potential'.

Core Values Cultivating Culture

Kikagaku espouses four guiding values that cascade from their mission: BE PROFESSIONAL, BE THE EDGE, BE VISIONARY, and BE AS ONE. This year, particular emphasis was placed on the implementation of 'BE THE EDGE' and 'BE VISIONARY', which received significant recognition in terms of organizational culture.

• - BE THE EDGE: Regular sharing of knowledge through bi-weekly meetings among departments strengthens collaborative efforts by disseminating insights that often remain siloed. This initiative enhances task clarity and promotes innovation, fostering a culture that nurtures both individual and collective growth.

• - BE VISIONARY: In August, the company held a Mid-Term Business Conference where the CEO and departmental heads shared the medium-term management strategy with employees, establishing a platform for Q&A. This transparency has cultivated a unified approach among employees, enhancing their collective aspirations and enthusiasm.

Future Outlook

With an employee count surpassing 150 and plans for further growth next year, Kikagaku vows to strengthen foundational cultural elements and structures that enhance working conditions. As the organization expands, it aims to create an environment where employees feel genuinely satisfied with their experiences and acknowledge personal growth during their time at Kikagaku.

Kikagaku commits to maintaining a culture that fears not change, believing in the potential of each employee to evolve, learn, and thrive in alignment with their mission of 'liberating human potential through proper education'.
