Nippon Kanzai Holdings: Engaging Families in Workplace Culture
On August 20, 2025, Nippon Kanzai Holdings, a leading firm in facility management and real estate, hosted a workplace visit event designed to invite employees' families and foster a better understanding of the corporate environment. This initiative aligns with the company's goal of promoting a healthy work-life balance.
The workplace visit has become a cherished tradition at Nippon Kanzai, as the company recognizes the essential role that family plays in the well-being of its employees. This year's event saw participation from 143 family members across six locations, offering an opportunity for them to explore the workplace, engage in activities such as networking and quizzes, and connect with their beloved relatives in a professional setting.
Background and Purpose of the Event
The event's genesis can be traced back over a decade, as Nippon Kanzai has continually embraced initiative aimed at improving work-life balance amidst the dynamic nature of modern workplaces. In recent years, the company has introduced practices such as telecommuting and staggered working hours to support employees’ needs. Notably, the building maintenance industry, which is critical to societal function, tends to operate behind the scenes, making it difficult for family members to fully grasp the significance of employees' contributions. Thus, the workplace visit serves a dual purpose: to enlighten families about the daily operations of the business and to strengthen the familial bond with their loved ones in a professional environment.
This summer event took place amid the school holiday season, creating a relaxed atmosphere for families to engage with one another and the company. With a mixture of returning families and new participants, the diverse group provided an enriching experience for all involved.
Event Highlights
The event commenced with a warm welcome from the Human Resources Department, connecting all six locations through a live stream. Participants engaged in introductions and a fun quiz about Nippon Kanzai's operations, which helped promote a deeper understanding of the company's services and values. Attendees then divided into smaller groups for hands-on activities, where they explored various office floors, met their family members’ colleagues, and experienced a day in the life of an employee.
In a creative twist, the children were provided with business cards, allowing them to partake in name exchanges with the professionals at Nippon Kanzai, embodying a playful glimpse into the world of work.
Feedback from employees was overwhelmingly positive, with one notably remarking, “I was so pleased to share my work environment with my daughter.” The camaraderie continued during a networking session filled with delightful snacks and ice cream, where families mingled and built connections.
Finally, as a sweet gesture, the company offered gifts that children could choose, leading to joyous interactions as the young ones expressed gratitude to the employees for their kindness.
Family Feedback and Future Commitment
Reflecting on the event, families expressed enthusiasm and appreciation. One employee noted, “It was heartwarming when someone I had previously exchanged cards with recognized my child and commented on how much they’ve grown.” This connection not only enhanced family understanding of the business but also fostered a positive atmosphere for employees’ well-being.
As Nippon Kanzai Holdings looks ahead, it remains devoted to building a sustainable, engaging work environment that nurtures both professional and personal fulfillment for its employees and their families. By continuing such initiatives, the company affirms its commitment to societal responsibility while reinforcing the integral link between work and family.
