Introduction of the Rice Purchase Subsidy Program

Japan Knowledge Space Co., Ltd. is taking a proactive step in supporting its employees by launching a new welfare program, the Rice Purchase Subsidy. Amid rising living costs, especially for staple foods like rice, the company aims to alleviate some of the financial burden on its employees and their families. This initiative reflects the company's commitment to fostering a supportive work environment.

Subsidy Details

The Rice Purchase Subsidy Program is set to run from June 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. Under this program, employees will receive a subsidy of up to 10,000 yen for purchasing rice, including both white rice and brown rice.
