Konnichiwa!
Welcome to Tokyo, Japan. I'm Scott Sato, President of Pasona Inc,
one of the largest human resources companies in Japan.
Let's take a look inside.
So this area here, is open to the public, and it's a free space to use anyway you want.
All the furniture here is from Bali, Indonesia, so it's a little bit unique
and we look forward to seeing other people here.
This is one of our sales offices. Take a look inside.
So it's open space.
The head of sales sits in the middle, and everybody else sits around.
It's all open and free.
So this is another one of our floors.
Everybody gets to pick their own design. They picked the beach bar as their design.
And they actually have real sand.
We also have a cafeteria for our employees. We have about 4,000 employees here.
We can take about 500 employees for each seating.
Lunches are $5 and you can eat anything you want, and salad is free.
And then at night, dinners are all free, paid by the company.
So here's our gym. We have it set up so that employees can come in here anytime
for an hour, 10 minutes. There's special programs set up so that
they can just go in their clothes and their suits and they don't have to break a sweat.
But they get some exercise during the day.
I actually have a 4:30 appointment myself.
Konnichiwa!
70% of our employees are women.
And we're one of the first companies in Japan to have an in-house nursery.
This nursery allows women to get to work as soon as the kids are old enough to come in.
We think it's very important for women to have a balance between work and home.
This allows them to bring their kids to work and to have time with the kids, whenever they want.
First we're gonna take a look at our nail and massage area.
One of the most important things for us is to make sure that the employees are happy
and they can relax whenever they want to.
This is a great place for women to come in, take an hour,
to get their nails done and get a massage and to really feel at home.
We're going to go up to the farm now, we have a farm inside the building
which is one of only two licenses in Tokyo.
We have two cows, six pigs, and 10 or 13 goats.
They all live in Tokyo on the 13th floor.
We have these full-time professional staff, right from college.
They work here on a full-time basis taking care of these animals.
But we have in-house veterinarians that take care of the animals on a weekly basis.
So they're probably taken care of better than we are.
You can take these and then...
It's a huge benefit for employees to come up here and take a break,
see some animals, watch them eat.
Especially if you come in at four o'clock in the afternoon,
they're crying for food and it's quite interesting to watch.
In Tokyo, having animals is not too common.
There's only two licenses that were provided in Tokyo,
one is for the emperor in the palace,
and then the other one is for us, and so those are the only two licenses in Tokyo.
Thanks for coming to the Pasona office today,
I gotta get back to the gym, my trainer is waiting for me, it's 4:30.
Bye bye!
