Work Environment (Labor Practices)

We implement various measures and design systems to foster an environment in which employees, unified by the embodiment of the Monex Group’s corporate philosophy, can work with creativity and vitality.

We believe that providing an environment that makes it easy for employees to balance the wide array of personal and professional life events they face, an environment that allows them to embrace new challenges outside of work, is what opens the door to self-fulfillment.

Alongside our flextime and remote work systems, which allow employees to work without restrictions on time and location, we have also introduced a new work system that enables employees to adjust their work scope and hours flexibly, accommodating critical life events such as childcare and nursing care.

In addition, to ensure that the concerns and observations of company officers and employees in our diverse workplace are heard, and to create a workplace where everyone can work with peace of mind over the long term, we have established a Harassment, Human Rights, and Pain Consultation Desk for group companies located in Japan (excluding companies under Coincheck Group N.V.).

This consultation service is available to everyone regardless of employment status, including full-time employees, contract employees, temporary staff, and part-time workers. The service is designed to make consultations, including those related to distress, easy and also accepts requests for support via internal or external third parties such as colleagues and family members.
 

We believe that maintaining a good balance between personal and professional life is crucial to ensuring high employee motivation.

At Monex Group, we have implemented various systems including childcare leave and nursing care leave to enable employees to lead fulfilling lives while managing the demands of both work and family as well as to support diverse career choices upon return to work.

We aim to foster a culture in which all employees resonate with our corporate philosophy, feel motivated to contribute to the organization and their work, and actively participate in organizational improvement through dialogue. We achieve this by creating opportunities to engage with employees in meaningful conversation.

Since July 2022, Monex Group and Monex, Inc. have been tracking a range of metrics in an attempt to quantitatively assess the state of the internal environment with the aim of strengthening human capital.

Engagement surveys are conducted every four months to visualize strengths and weaknesses of each organization, and upon completion, all employees are provided with a summary of the overall results and the results for their department.

Similar engagement surveys are also conducted by major group companies.

For our business locations in Japan (Monex Group, Monex, Monex Asset Management, Coincheck, Viling, etc.), we have implemented a Thanks Program system so that employees can easily convey their appreciation for the small yet significant things they experience on a daily basis. This system celebrates the daily interactions among employees within our culture of respect for diverse work styles.

Employees can easily send thank-yous, and those who receive the most are rewarded with small gifts.

We also run a Productivity Champion Award program twice a year to recognize employees who have made outstanding contributions through operational improvements, efficiency gains, and efforts to tackle new initiatives.

We have also established The BEST Award to celebrate exceptional performance by both teams and individuals as well as the generation of innovative ideas and development of innovative services.
This award is bestowed once a year as the most prestigious of the company’s internal accolades.

Coincheck, Inc. Stock Ownership Plan Incentive and TradeStation Group also administer their own accolade programs, providing public recognition of innovation and contributions to corporate culture.

In accordance with Japan’s Industrial Safety and Health Act, we hold Health Committee meetings once a month at our business locations in Japan, which are attended by, as necessary, human resources managers, health managers, industrial physicians, and general employees.

The Health Committee monitors overtime hours, discusses workplace environment and health-related issues, and ensures that all employees working within the Group, including temporary staff, can work in good physical and mental health.

We regularly conduct web-based stress checks for full-time and contract employees of Monex Group and Monex, Inc. to raise awareness of individual stress levels. We analyze the test results collectively, implement measures to improve the work environment, and work closely with physicians to prevent mental health issues.

We also provide full-time employees of Monex Group and Monex, Inc. with regular medical checkups (comprehensive health screenings), influenza vaccinations (for both full-time and contract employees), and fitness club membership subsidies.
