Global Link Management Expands Certification Support Program

Global Link Management Company, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is taking significant steps to bolster its support for employee career development. Since 2018, the company has implemented a certification support program aimed at fostering autonomous learning and enabling employees to navigate their career paths effectively. Recently, they announced enhancements to this program by adding 69 new targeted qualifications and introducing a monthly certification bonus depending on the level of the qualification.

The Rationale Behind the Expansion

GLM recognizes that the quality of its workforce and productivity directly influence its long-term success. Thus, the initiative aims to continuously support employees’ proactive learning styles and self-driven career development. By focusing on maintaining a learning environment among staff and rewarding challenges in obtaining difficult and valuable qualifications, GLM seeks to deepen employee engagement and retain highly specialized talents.

Overview of Certification Support

The certification support program helps employees acquire necessary qualifications related to their jobs or those that contribute to their professional advancement. The company offers a lump-sum bonus upon passing these exams along with financial assistance for registration and renewal fees. Notably, for highly specialized national qualifications such as first-class architects and certified public accountants, GLM will provide ongoing monthly certification bonuses to encourage employees to leverage their expertise continuously.
