100 GOOD THINGS
It is an initiative to provide more “good things” for the company and its members. We will continue until we have 100 good things.
The Tokyo office (Casa ZIZO) includes a bar counter, a professional kitchen, and a wine cellar that can stock 2,000 bottles. It is a fun space that can be used in a variety of ways, including as a filming and distribution studio, for events, and as a gallery.
We meet with companies in the same creative field as ZIZO. We are curious about each other. We visit each other’s offices. We have wine and sushi parties together. These are meaningful times to discuss work procedures and projects over great food and drinks.
The skateboarding club is said to be the most active and dangerous club in ZIZO. The club was formed after the club leader was inspired by Horigome’s performance at the TOKYO 2020 Olympics. Rumor has it that the club meets about once a year at Utsubo Park near the Osaka office.
The shorter the time you work, the better you can perform. Based on the idea that it doesn’t matter where you are, you have complete freedom in the way you work. If you work for even one minute, you have worked for the day, and you are free to go on a workcation whether in Japan or abroad.
“ZIZO FES” was created because the previous “general meeting” didn’t offer enough waku-waku. In addition to sharing know-how, various acts are held at each stage from a “campfire goodbye” memorial service for projects that have gone up in flames to a meeting to simply play card games.
It is a system where several members of the same specialty can come together to enhance their skills. The “party” or “team” budget is used to purchase books and equipment, attend workshops and events, and work on landing projects in their area of expertise.
The lawn on the third floor of the Osaka office is an “outdoor” space where we can work while relaxing on the top-grade artificial grass, which is pleasant to the touch, or take a leisurely nap in a tent. It is also ideal as a theater and for Pilates.
We exchange knowledge based on actual experiences in the company, not just general information that can be found by searching the Internet. At this meeting, we share projects and various kinds of know-how. Every month, we invite guests (presenters) into a special radio booth to discuss what they’ve learned.
This is an in-house project led by the members of the planning team. We explore our shared emotions, investigate “how we can add waku-waku as a solution to the world’s problems”, and discuss ways to implement our ideas.
The bar counter is stocked with beer, wine, sake, and tequila. You can discuss your projects and life while looking out the window at the city view. This is the area where everyone comes together at night.
This system allows the company to purchase old devices that members used in their personal lives and repurpose them as verification devices. This is a win-win, sustainable, eco-friendly, green system.
Our spacious Osaka office is on the top floor of a building with a great view. We enjoy working every day in a high-quality environment with carefully curated interior design. If we get stuck on an idea, we can refresh ourselves at the bar counter (where the beer is always cold).
This system allows each employee to spend up to 3,000 yen per month to increase waku-waku in their lives. This includes going to museums, watching movies, buying books, etc. This system reminds us that as adults we can still have fun and to take advantage of that fact.
Our Tokyo office is a 5-minute walk from Aoyama-itchome Station. Outside the window is the peaceful Aoyama Park, where we work while watching children playing energetically and businessmen napping comfortably. Gloves and balls are provided whenever we need a break.
We want to create as much waku-waku as possible! In order to realize this goal, each member’s business card contains a raffle-style lottery on it. You can win sushi coupons, Dom Perignon, or other great prizes. Good luck.
Every year, we encourage employees to go on an overseas training trip if they achieve their goals. The budget for the trip is determined by the achievement rate. So far, we have gone to Hawaii, Singapore, Paris, and San Francisco. For the past few years, we have been using a style of travel in which each participant makes his/her own arrangements and takes a route they choose.
ZIZO’s salary system is a grade system. The amount of an individual’s base salary and gross profit target are determined according to his/her grade. In six-month increments, bonuses increase if the gross profit target exceeds 100% and decrease if it falls below the target. It is a very clear and fair system.
At the end of the year, ZIZO holds “Casa ZIZO”, a party where ZIZO gives back to all the partners who have usually taken care of us. Over a glass of wine and delicious food, we express our gratitude for the past year.
A laboratory for developing our own new services. Once an idea is conceived, presented, and approved as an official company project, a budget is attached, and development begins. Some services have been a great success, others were created and then terminated. The experimentation continues.
We have a “Global Strategy Office” that actively promotes overseas projects and communicates with companies around the world every day. The head of the office, Mr. Cristian (from Spain), is a nice young man who enjoys paella and wine.
ZIZO encourages “aiming up” at all times, and this is a system to commend those who “change something and go up (UP), even if only a little”. For each award, a special badge is given, and if you collect 10 badges, you will receive a wonderful prize. (It is the same system used in the long-running Japanese variety show “Shoten”.)
This is ZIZO’s original training system. Even those with limited production experience may become active on the front lines in the blink of an eye after undergoing this training.
A company cafeteria that opens on occasion. Members who love to cook bring in ingredients to the Edobori Kitchen and prepare delicious dishes to serve to everyone. This rare cafeteria is open only when the staff feels like it.
In order to become people with a waku-waku vibe who can work globally, we hold meetings to talk with members from abroad over lunch. Because of the rule that we only speak English during lunch, people around us assume we are amazing people (or, at least, we hope so).
A meeting held by a tech team that seeks to create waku-waku through the fusion of technology and ideas. This is a brainstorming session to share “what we can do” using mockups and how to make use of them in specific projects.
