Kyoritsu Maintenance Welcomes Future Employees

On October 1, 2025, Kyoritsu Maintenance, under the leadership of President Koji Nakamura, held an innovative reception event for 142 new graduates set to join the company in April 2026. This event marked a shift from traditional formal ceremonies to a more casual gathering aimed at fostering engagement and easing the concerns of new hires.

Background of the Event

Historically, Kyoritsu Maintenance had conducted welcome ceremonies in a formal setting. However, feedback from previous new hires indicated a desire for a more relaxed atmosphere that fostered connections with peers and executives. Responding to these insights, Kyoritsu transformed this year’s event into a party format, encouraging interaction and understanding among prospective employees more freely.

Highlights of the Reception Event

An Ice-Breaking Experience

Upon arrival, the new hires exhibited signs of nervousness, but this soon dissipated during various interactive activities, including quizzes related to the company's business. The team-building exercises were particularly effective, sparking lively conversations and helping the new hires to bond. This interaction not only alleviated tensions but also allowed future colleagues to form a sense of camaraderie before joining the company.

Engaging Dialogues with Executives

One of the key objectives of the event was the opportunity for substantive interactions between executives and new employees. Company leaders visited each table for informal discussions, encouraging new hires to ask candid questions about career development and workplace expectations. This interaction allowed the prospective employees to gain valuable insights from their future leaders, amplifying their understanding of both the company and their anticipated career paths.

Message from President Koji Nakamura

In his speech, President Nakamura acknowledged the challenges faced by the new graduates during the tumultuous hiring landscape affected by COVID-19. He expressed gratitude to the attendees for choosing Kyoritsu Maintenance from among numerous companies. Nakamura encouraged the participants to embrace the challenges ahead, assuring them that perseverance would lead to great joy in their future careers. He emphasized the importance of continuous growth through shared experiences with teammates and expressed excitement about working alongside them. "Congratulations on reaching this milestone," he concluded.

Voices from the New Hires

One of the total members highlighted, "Initially, I felt nervous coming to the venue, but through the recreational activities, I found solace knowing I would have supportive colleagues by my side after joining. I'm determined to contribute to the dormitory operations and assist students in their new lives."

Another prospective hotelier shared, "At first, I was quite anxious, but I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with my peers during the meals and activities. While I'm still defining my career vision, I aim to master the fundamentals of customer service to become the kind of hotelier who receives compliments like 'That's excellent service!’"
