Enhancements in Employee Treatment and Engagement by ISFnet in 2025
ISFnet, a prominent name in IT infrastructure solutions, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has shared the noteworthy accomplishments resulting from its initiatives aimed at improving the treatment and engagement of IT infrastructure engineers for the year 2025.
Key Achievements:
1.
Biannual Performance Evaluations: In the first half of 2025, a total of 208 employees were promoted or received pay raises as part of the new biannual performance evaluation system. An additional 200 employees are expected to be promoted in the latter half of the year.
2.
Performance-Based Bonuses: The introduction of the ISF NET Reward Program (IRP) now includes performance-related bonuses that will be distributed on December 29, 2025, to further acknowledge and reward the continuous efforts of employees.
Background of the Initiatives
Recognizing the necessity for improvement in the treatment and market value of IT infrastructure engineers, ISFnet placed these concerns at the forefront of its management agenda for 2025. Recent economic fluctuations and soaring prices highlighted the urgency of fostering a work environment that supports employees' daily lives, ensuring they can perform their tasks with peace of mind. Consequently, ISFnet focused primarily on the following areas to bolster employee conditions:
Implementation of a Biannual Performance Evaluation System
To reinforce opportunities for promotions and pay increases, ISFnet established a biannual evaluation system. This new approach allows the company to continuously reflect individual abilities and achievements without stagnation.
Introduction of Special Promotion System
Acknowledging potential biases in the conventional evaluation system, which can sometimes lead to undervaluation based on the evaluator's organization, ISFnet implemented a new protocol. This enables the advancement of employees who meet promotion levels to be recognized via special approval outside the standard evaluation framework.
Thanks to these updated evaluation procedures, 208 employees were promoted in the first half of 2025, facilitating the rapid career advancement of committed engineers.
Introduction of Performance-Based Bonuses
Historically, ISFnet implemented bonuses based solely on individual performance. However, the newly adopted performance-based bonus structure ensures that company profits are fairly redistributed amongst all employees, aiming to support growth and challenges undertaken by each individual.
Future Initiatives
In 2025, ISFnet's primary focus is on enhancing employee stability and engagement. Moving forward, the company aims to foster an environment where engineers can work securely and with long-term assurance. Their specific initiatives will include continuous distribution of performance-related bonuses, maintaining performance standards with remote working and flexible hours, as well as creating career paths for a diverse range of talents. By accelerating workplace diversity, ISFnet aims to cultivate a culture that allows employees to work authentically and comfortably.
To ensure ongoing growth opportunities for engineers, ISFnet is investing in cutting-edge technology, enhancing employee training, and proactively addressing risks to safeguard its workforce. Additionally, by developing robust educational systems and a supportive corporate culture, ISFnet is committed to helping every employee enhance their market value autonomously.
