BroadMind Inc., a Tokyo-based company committed to unlocking the power of finance to support individuals in achieving their life plans, is thrilled to announce its feature as one of the leading growth-conscious organizations in the newly released book,
Companies That People Want to Work For: Investing in Human Potential. This 20th entry in the popular series showcases 15 businesses dedicated to nurturing talent and promoting a positive work environment for young professionals.
Published on May 30 by Cross Media Publishing, this latest edition of the series serves not only as a valuable guide for university students and early-career professionals exploring job opportunities but also as an insightful resource for any organization aiming to cultivate a thriving workforce. Among its compelling features is an introductory section by Professor Daisuke Kanma, a faculty member at Kanazawa University, who also serves as a director of the Japan Intellectual Property Association. His insights expand on the crucial theme of investing in human potential.
In light of the rising interest in financial services due to recent social changes, positions such as Financial Planners (FPs) have garnered significant attention. BroadMind distinguishes itself in the industry by primarily focusing on recruiting fresh graduates and inexperienced candidates, breaking conventional hiring norms. This unique approach aligns perfectly with the company's mission: "Financial Ethics, Life Freedom." This mission emphasizes BroadMind’s commitment to being a “financial partner” that walks alongside clients in their life journeys, which has led to the establishment of a culture and operational structure fostering professional growth.
The book delves into BroadMind's infrastructure and culture, offering detailed accounts backed by diagrams and interviews with team members. Our organization's strategies have yielded impressive results, including a remarkable employee retention rate of only 12% within the first three years post-college, far below the national average of approximately 30%.
Noteworthy Highlights:
1. Holistic Professional Development System
BroadMind champions the creation of professionals capable of managing various financial needs across sectors, including life insurance, non-life insurance, securities, housing loans, and real estate. By possessing a comprehensive set of licenses, our team can address client needs through one integrated service model. This approach positions BroadMind within a rare class of business models aiming to reshape financial service paradigms in Japan.
2. Education System and Culture for Newcomers
Our organization emphasizes an education model where every employee participates in training new staff, fostering a culture of mutual learning. The dedicated "Education Department" ensures that even those with no prior experience in finance can become proficient professionals, nurturing a community where teaching one another is paramount. This commitment to shared knowledge enables employees to grow collectively and supports the development of skilled financial consultants.
3. Focused Consulting without Traditional Sales Tactics
At BroadMind, we have eliminated the need for cold calling, door-to-door sales, or client hunting. Instead, potential leads are provided through strategic partnerships with firms and public sectors, allowing our consultants to concentrate entirely on offering consultative services. This unique working environment enables them to truly engage with clients, ensuring their financial consulting is less about sales and more about genuine client service.
Culture and Recognition
Much of BroadMind’s unique culture can be found on the company’s recruitment platform, which highlights the "Hero Award" — recognizing employees who exemplify the values of personal responsibility and dedication to enhancing client satisfaction. The candid testimonials from these employees illustrate a shared commitment to understanding and meeting the financial needs of our clients, reflecting the essence of what BroadMind stands for.
