KYC Consulting's Strategic Office Relocation

KYC Consulting, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has officially announced its office relocation on May 11, 2025. This move is not merely about expanding space but also represents a crucial turning point in rethinking workplace culture and organizational structure. As of last May, the company had only eight employees, but that number has since increased to over twenty and is expected to grow further.

Background of the Move

With the increase in the number of employees, KYC Consulting recognized that the existing office space could no longer accommodate everyone comfortably. In addition, the company needed to reassess its remote working practices to encourage more face-to-face interactions among team members. With the new office, the goal is to create a welcoming environment that naturally inspires employees to come to work, enhancing collaboration, innovation, and performance.

Features of the New Office

The new office is designed to be functional and inviting. It includes a spacious meeting room with an impressive atmosphere suitable for important meetings and client engagements, alongside two more intimate closed meeting rooms ideal for small gatherings. The workspaces are defined by a bright, white color scheme, creating an uplifting atmosphere, while the counter areas are optimized for focused work. Furthermore, the brainstorming areas are equipped with casual dining-style booths and large sofas, providing a relaxed and open setting that encourages diverse styles of communication.

Large Conference Room

The large conference room exudes a sense of gravity with its black flooring, creating a calm space suitable for significant meetings and client interactions.

Working Space

The working area, featuring a bright and inviting atmosphere, allows for a flexible free-address system, making it easier for employees to adapt to diverse work preferences. The walls showcase KYC Consulting's Mission, Vision, and Values (MVV), reinforcing their significance in the work environment.

Counter Space

The counter area serves as a quiet workspace while also providing semi-private booths for online meetings and individual tasks, creating an environment conducive to focused work without distractions.

Brainstorming Area

The brainstorming area, characterized by yellow sofas and dining booths, is designed to spark communication among employees, fostering a culture of idea generation. The space features colorful ottomans in red and green, adding vibrancy and a playful touch.
