Shinwa Kougyou Receives Special Recognition for Employee Care

Shinwa Kougyou Co., Ltd., located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has been awarded the Special Award for 'Practicing Gratitude and Altruism Management' during the 12th White Company Awards ceremony held on February 1, 2026. The company, led by President Noriaki Obuchi, has garnered attention for its innovative well-being management strategy that emphasizes harmony among mind, body, and finances, achieving zero turnover over the past ten years.

Understanding the White Company Awards

Established to honor companies valuing employee happiness, work fulfillment, and social contribution, the White Company Awards go beyond mere compliance with laws and regulations or providing standard welfare benefits. They recognize those businesses that continuously evolve and adapt to foster a supportive environment. Shinwa Kougyou’s emphasis on care for employees and their families played a significant role in winning this prestigious award.

Recognition of Management Philosophy

The award committee praised Shinwa Kougyou's commitment to harmonizing the elements of mind, body, and finances, underpinning the company's organizational culture:

'Your company consistently pursues management based on the harmony of mind, body, and finances, fostering a structure that supports the happiness of employees and their families. The underlying gratitude and altruistic mindset nurtures trust both internally and externally, bolstering corporate growth. We celebrate your journey with this recognition.'

Key Initiatives Promoting Employee Happiness

1. Cultivating a Culture of Gratitude and Transparency

Shinwa Kougyou champions a culture where gratitude and transparency take center stage. By fully disclosing financial results from the past decade to all employees, the company fosters a sense of pride and responsibility among its workforce. Initiatives like encouraging employees to express gratitude towards their families, such as writing letters or supporting parent-travel programs, also enhance the culture of appreciation.

2. Commitment to Health Management

In its commitment to health, the company invests in preventative care, covering costs of comprehensive medical exams, including MRI scans and gastroscopies. Employees benefit from a range of health-supporting initiatives, including free gluten-free, additive-free meals and equipped exercise facilities featuring oxygen boxes to help maintain physical wellness.

3. Ensuring Financial Security and Prosperity

Financial stability for employees is prioritized through high salaries, exceeding industry standards, and generous profit-sharing bonuses, returning 20% of profits to employees. Furthermore, full company coverage of retirement funds and death benefits ensures peace of mind for employees and their families.

The Importance of Gratitude and Altruism in Current Times

As modern advancements like AI evolve and VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) conditions persist, tasks requiring emotional intelligence and complex interpersonal interactions cannot be replaced by machines. In the field of low-voltage electrical installations, collaboration and relationship building are crucial. Shinwa Kougyou believes that when employees feel fulfilled, they naturally contribute to society through gratitude and altruism, establishing a cycle of happiness which is vital for thriving in today’s landscape.

Future Directions: Spreading Happiness Beyond the Company

The recognition at the White Company Awards marks just a stepping stone for Shinwa Kougyou. The company intends to extend its principles of happiness beyond its direct workforce, encompassing employee families and partner companies to create a wider community of joy and fulfillment. By enhancing both visible rewards, such as salaries and benefits, and invisible rewards, including purpose, appreciation, and personal growth, Shinwa Kougyou aims to establish a future where it is synonymous with a happy workplace.
