The Nobitel Conference: A Celebration of Growth and Talent
The eagerly anticipated
Nobitel Conference/D1-WORLD GP is set to take place on May 26, 2026.
Dr. Stretch, a leader in the stretch concept retail market with over 300 outlets nationwide and internationally, is once again bringing together its trainers and staff to celebrate excellence and teamwork. Under the leadership of CEO Masahiro Kurokawa and COO Shunsuke Masaki, Nobitel focuses on fostering an environment where trainers and employees can thrive and grow.
Empowering Employees Through Elections
The highlight of this event is the unique
Area Manager Election, where employees actively vote to select their Area Manager. This innovative approach fosters a cooperative work environment, encouraging responsibility and mutual respect among staff members. Rather than merely reporting to a superior, employees can engage directly in the decision-making process, emphasizing a culture of teamwork and focus on customer satisfaction. This year, the final four candidates will present in front of approximately 1000 attendees, followed by a democratic voting process involving all staff, including executives. This unique system not only empowers the employees but strengthens the company’s overall performance through collective involvement.
Stretching for Excellence: The World Grand Prix
Additionally, the conference features the
Stretch World Grand Prix, a thrilling competition designed to identify the best trainers among Dr. Stretch’s 2500 professionals worldwide. Selected from a pool of exceptional talent, twelve finalists will compete in a timed challenge, demonstrating their skills by evaluating and addressing the physical needs of a judge within just one minute. This competition serves not only to highlight outstanding training capabilities but also to enhance service quality and technical knowledge across the board.
