    To improve productivity and staff satisfaction, we have installed break spaces and an open desk assignment system.

  • Encouraging diverse work styles
    We have established telecommuting regulations and implemented hybrid work that combines telecommuting and work at office, as well as staggered work hours.

  • Support for training and providing in-house training
    We encourage our officers and employees to participate in various training programs in the interest of capability development and talent cultivation.

Other Initiatives

  • Whistleblowing system “Samty Asset Hotline”
    An external contact point has been established to detect and correct various problems at an early stage, including internal violations of laws and regulations such as fraud and harassment.

  • Periodic health checkups
    Once a year, regular health checkups are conducted for all officers and employees in the interest of health maintenance.

  • Support for work-life balance
    To help employees achieve a better work-life balance, we encourage the use of a variety of work styles that suit individual lifestyles and work characteristics. Efforts here include providing laptops and smartphones to all officers and employees, and introducing a web conferencing system. At the same time, we are constantly updating our internal systems to strengthen information security.

  • Health Committee
    A Health Committee has been established to improve the level of occupational health and to maintain and promote the health of officers and employees. The committee meets monthly to check the labor conditions of all officer and employees, the comfort and safety of the work environment, and to stream a lecture by an industrial physician after the meeting.

Personnel Evaluation Structure

For each officer and employee, the Asset Management Company evaluates their contribution to performance, ability to perform, and work attitude over a certain period of time based on certain standards. The results of this evaluation are reflected in personnel treatment, skill development, and training to promote fair and equitable management of personnel affairs.
