Seeds and Growth Gains Recognition in Press Release Award 2025

Seeds and Growth Co., Ltd., a consulting firm focusing on new graduate recruitment based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, recently made headlines by being selected as one of the "Best 101" in the Press Release Award 2025 organized by PR TIMES. This accolade comes from a notable pool of 4,573 entries, emphasizing the company's innovative approaches to employee welfare.

The selected press release highlighted a welfare initiative titled the "New Refresh Declaration," designed to bolster the mental and physical health of employees working remotely, ensuring they can maintain high performance levels.

The New Refresh Declaration Explained

The "New Refresh Declaration" is a unique welfare system intended to support employees in maintaining their health and enhancing their lifestyle. Under this scheme, the company partially subsidizes service fees for employees who meet two specific criteria:

1. Pit In: Utilizing services for mental and physical refreshment (stress relief).
2. Make My Time: Engaging household assistance services to create personal time.

The name reflects a dual purpose – to establish a "new system" that also promotes the health of both the mind and body. Not only does it aim for the well-being of employees, but it also seeks to improve the overall quality of life (QOL) for employees, their families, and their private lives.

An internal survey conducted six months after launching this program revealed that 80% of employees reported increased motivation and a stronger sense of belonging at work. This highlights the initiative's effectiveness in fostering a healthy workplace culture.

Judges' Commentary

Kazuhiro Sekine, a reporter from Asahi Shimbun GLOBE, provided valuable feedback on the press release. He noted that the clear presentation of the company's welfare initiatives serves as a reference point for other organizations, showcasing best practices in employee care.
