Celebrating a Legacy of Excellence: Globis as a Top 4 Great Place to Work in Japan

Globis, a leading organization based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has been recognized as one of Japan's top workplaces by the Great Place to Work® Institute Japan (GPTW Japan). In the 2026 overall rankings of great places to work, Globis proudly secured the 4th position among 683 participating companies in the medium-sized category, marking 13 consecutive years of recognition since 2014. This accolade was celebrated at the Best Workplaces Award 2026 event held on February 6.

Globis has earned this prestigious spot due to its commitment to social responsibility and creating a positive work environment that fosters employee development and satisfaction. The company's ongoing initiatives to contribute to society and local communities through its business operations, as well as the provision of ample opportunities for skill development, have all contributed to its high “work engagement points.”

A Commitment to Employee Engagement

GPTW Japan conducts a rigorous evaluation through employee surveys, quantifying responses to determine which companies meet certain standards of workplace excellence. These surveys assess various aspects of the working environment, including organizational structure and employee satisfaction. Companies that receive a score above the threshold are classified as “certified great workplaces.” Among these, only the top 100 with the highest levels of employee satisfaction are recognized as the best.

The sustainable leadership at Globis is characterized by a management philosophy anchored in the “Globis Way,” leading to consistent HR policies and practices that prioritize equity, engagement, and empowerment within the workplace. The integration and alignment of these principles throughout recruitment, promotions, and employee development have significantly influenced Globis's sustained ranking in the culture of engagement.

Recognition in the Nikkei Business Survey

In addition to the GPTW rankings, Globis was also featured in the Nikkei Business survey published on October 13, 2025. This survey highlighted the top 100 companies recommended by current and former employees based on their feedback. Data collected from over 100,000 responses on the employee experience at various companies further solidified Globis's reputation as a desirable workplace.

Fostering an Ideal Corporate Environment

Globis strives to create an ideal corporate ecosystem where diverse talent can flourish, bringing value to society and industries at large. The company actively promotes diversity and inclusion, hiring staff from various backgrounds, including engineers, designers, and talent from different nationalities. The recent emphasis on telecommuting, flexible working hours, and work-life balance initiatives reflects this commitment.

Efforts such as free-address offices and modern layouts create an effective working environment conducive to high performance. Currently, 25 countries are represented in their workforce, with a commendable female manager ratio of 36% and overall female employee ratio at 57%.

Culture of Continuous Improvement

Globis places significant emphasis on its foundational principles and values, encapsulated in the “Globis Way.” All employees are encouraged to resonate with these principles, aligning their daily operations with the vision and mission of the company. Continuous feedback mechanisms, such as a 360-degree evaluation system, ensure that employees embody the company’s values and engagement standards. The organization also facilitates numerous team-building activities and professional development programs, creating an environment rich in communication and cohesion.

Highlights include cross-departmental retreats, regular lunch gatherings, and personal workshops focused on value alignment—all designed to maintain a strong community spirit. Notably, the annual company retreat is an engaging event where all employees, including the founder, actively participate in discussions and dialogues, fostering a culture of openness and inclusivity.
