Supporting the Growth of Technical Employees

NAREL Group, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announces an innovative initiative by its group company, World Corporation, designed specifically for the growth and retention of its technical employees. This initiative, termed "Themed Networking Events," aims to foster interaction among employees, creating a stronger sense of belonging and commitment to the organization.

Background of Themed Networking Events

The decision to launch these events stems from a recognition of two critical factors:
1. Cultivating and Enhancing Employees' Sense of Belonging
Once hired, technical employees undergo a brief two-week training before being assigned to various projects at client sites. While this hands-on experience quickly builds skills, it often leads to feelings of isolation as they work independently without regular interaction with peers. This disconnect can weaken their ties to the company, prompting the need for proactive measures.

To combat this, the organization seeks to achieve the following goals:
- Strengthening connections among technical employees
- Enhancing feelings of association and belonging with the company

2. Realizing the Long-Term Growth Strategy
The company's mid-term management plan titled "Change and Growth 2030," released in December 2025, outlines various growth strategies including enhancing the competitiveness of core businesses. The Themed Networking Events are integral to this strategy, as they support employee growth and improve retention rates, aligning with the company’s broader objectives.

The Inaugural Themed Networking Event

The first of these networking events took place in January 2026, featuring the theme of "Kyushu and Okinawa Cuisine.”
The event began with insights shared by leadership about the company's current state and future outlook, aimed at cultivating a sense of belonging among participants. Following this, employees enjoyed delicious cuisine while engaging in games and interactive activities, deepening their bonds.

Company President Naoki Shibata took part in the event, directly communicating with technical employees and acknowledging their invaluable contributions across different projects.

Future Initiatives and Goals

Looking ahead, the company is dedicated to further cultivating its employees' sense of belonging while investing in human capital to ensure that they secure, retain, and empower talent that supports business growth. This commitment aligns perfectly with the medium-term growth strategies outlined in their plan.
