iGoods Welcomes New Employees with Exciting Ceremony

On April 1, 2026, iGoods Corporation, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, held its entrance ceremony for 28 new employees. The ceremony was marked by creativity and surprises, including a red carpet welcome for the new recruits. This event not only offered a fresh start for the new hires but also revitalized the spirit of existing employees.

SCOPE: A Vision for the Future

The theme of this year's ceremony was "SCOPE." Inspired by the concept of binoculars, it signifies focusing on two important elements: the future and individuality. The idea was to remind everyone of the importance of having a clear vision for the future, emphasizing that as one aligns their focus, the steps that need to be taken become more apparent. Each of the 28 new hires, despite being part of a large cohort, was recognized for their unique contributions.

Additionally, the design of the binoculars symbolically featured the number "8" to represent the eighth cohort joining the company, alongside an infinity sign to represent limitless possibilities. Each of the binocular's petals was colored to correspond with the 28 new employees.

Engaging Surprises Prior to the Ceremony

Before arriving at the venue, the new employees took part in an interactive surprise where they were tasked with finding 28 scattered puzzle pieces around the headquarters. The completed puzzle revealed the word "SCOPE," announcing the theme of the ceremony in a fun and engaging manner. This activity not only served as an icebreaker but also helped foster camaraderie among the new hires.

Sharing Aspirations: Individual Presentations

The highlight of the event was a presentation session where each new employee shared their individual aspirations related to the SCOPE theme. They were divided into four groups to express why they chose to join iGoods and what kind of future they envisioned. The emotional weight of these presentations was evident, with some employees even moved to tears as they reflected on their dreams. Particularly notable was the presentation by three individuals recommended by existing employees, who took the stage to deliver powerful messages about seizing their own destinies and creating moments of inspiration for others.

Thematic Content to Inspire

In line with the SCOPE theme, the event also included three key surprise segments:

1. Focus on Growth: A speech by second-year employees sharing insights on their professional growth lessons learned over the past year, encouraging newcomers to strive for continuous development.

2. Focus on Teamwork: During lunch, teams engaged in a unique OJT program presentation. Experienced employees, dubbed "Elters," presented gifts selected to align with the new hires' individual personalities and team colors. This was accompanied by specially designed cupcakes reflecting the event's theme, enhancing team bonding.

3. Focus on New Employees: In an innovative twist, the newcomers prepared a surprise document introducing themselves, which was distributed to all staff, showcasing their creativity and enhancing the collective excitement within the company.

A Message from the Management

In his speech, the representative of iGoods congratulated the eighth cohort and conveyed two essential messages for their new journeys:

• - Develop Project Management Skills: Employees must understand not just their roles but the broader implications of their work and how to manage various stakeholders effectively.
• - Lead the Future: The eighth cohort will be in a position to lead by the time iGoods celebrates its 20th anniversary, highlighting the need to focus on actionable steps toward that future now.

As the new employees embark on this exciting journey, they are encouraged to unleash their potential, contributing to the growth of iGoods and embracing every opportunity that comes their way.
