SHIFT has introduced remote work system in COVID-19. Currently, about 60% of its employees work from home, which has led to a major change in their work style in recent years. Online communication is taking root in SHIFT, as exemplified by the holding of general meeting of employees online. At the same time, to improve employee satisfaction and productivity, SHIFT is also promoting a hybrid work style by resuming face to face communication while carefully checking COVID-19 situation. In FY2022, SHIFT rapidly expanded the scale of its business, by various ways such as achieving the recruitment target of 2,400 new employees per year.
In this way, not only the environment surrounding SHIFT, but also SHIFT itself is undergoing major reforms every day. In order to further improve employee satisfaction and the quality of team building, SHIFT believes it is also necessary to develop “work environment.” Accordingly, SHIFT has decided to relocate its headquarter and open satellite offices. The contract for the current headquarter is scheduled to expire in October 2023. From around September 2023, the headquarter is scheduled to be in Kamiya-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo and satellite offices to be opened in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including Shinjuku.
