INAP Vision Wins the Excellence Award at Tokyo Future Work Award 2025

INAP Vision, a prominent company specializing in comprehensive digital transformation (DX) support, recently achieved a significant milestone by winning the Excellence Award at the Tokyo Future Work Award 2025. This annual event, organized by the Tokyo metropolitan government, recognizes leading companies that promote advanced work styles, contributing to a sustainable society.

The award ceremony took place on January 20, 2026, and highlighted INAP Vision's commitment to fostering an innovative work environment under the theme of creating the best working conditions through the "Zoo" concept. The concept draws parallels between a zoo's ecosystem and the company's approach to nurturing a diverse workforce, where each employee is likened to an animal, showcasing their unique skills and contributions.

Background of the Tokyo Future Work Award

The Tokyo Future Work Award is part of a larger initiative aimed at enhancing the future of work in Tokyo. The program celebrates companies that implement advanced working strategies, utilizing telecommuting and digital transformation technologies to foster a diverse and sustainable workplace where everyone can thrive. By prioritizing an environment that embraces these values, INAP Vision has positioned itself as a front-runner in this progressive movement.

Reasons for INAP Vision’s Award

INAP Vision was recognized for three key aspects of its transformative initiatives:

1. Realization of Diverse and Flexible Work Styles (Flexible & Sustainable)
INAP Vision's implementation of a flexible work system allows employees to adjust their working hours based on busy and quiet periods, effectively preventing burnout. With a flex-time system that adjusts quarterly and alerts for overworking, employees enjoy a balanced workload. Moreover, the company's liberal remote work and side job policies enable staff members, even those relocating to places like Fukuoka, to thrive without geographical constraints. As a result, these strategies have led to an impressive average monthly overtime of less than 10 hours and a 15% increase in employee satisfaction.

2. Enhanced Productivity through Technology (Productivity with Tech)
The integration of generative AI tools, such as Gemini, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has dramatically improved efficiency within the organization. Task completion times for report generation have been slashed from three hours to just 15 minutes. Additionally, RPA initiatives have streamlined back-office tasks by reducing operational hours by 20 per month. This transformation has led to a significant reduction in knowledge transfer time, achieving a remarkable zero-hour transition for maternity and parental leaves.

3. Data-Driven Talent Development and Organization (Data Driven Management)
INAP Vision employs a personal type matrix to visualize individual preferences along the axes of "offensive/defensive" and "management/expertise." This practice ensures optimal staff placements. Monitoring stress levels tailored to individual characteristics has also been implemented, effectively preventing mental health issues. The company actively supports reskilling, allowing employees to dedicate up to 20 hours of work time monthly for learning new skills or obtaining certifications.

Remarks from CEO Yuichiro Kawashima

In commenting on their achievement, CEO Yuichiro Kawashima expressed immense pride in receiving the prestigious Excellence Award. He emphasized that INAP Vision's purpose is centered on "pioneering the future of society through thought and imagination." The company has committed to operating with an emphasis on Proof of Concept (PoC) in its organization. In Kawashima’s views, it's not just about granting freedom to employees, but designing a system that nurtures autonomy—this is the essence of INAP Vision's work philosophy.

Looking ahead, INAP Vision aims to accelerate its initiatives further, aspiring to automate 80% of its internal operations within the next five years. The goal is to ensure that all employees, regardless of their technological expertise, can easily use tools to automate their tasks—effectively creating a participatory approach to digital transformation. This democratization of technology will enable every team member to shine in creative roles.
