Host family events to improve employee engagement

Each Bandai Namco Group company holds events for families, with a view to promote interaction with the families that are always supportive of our employees, and among employees.

In the Bandai Namco Group, the IP Production Unit, which aims to strengthen IP creation with the mission of “continuing to create good things,” held the Autumn Cultural Festival as a cross-functional event in fiscal 2022. Although the event was basically held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19, some employee families were invited to the head office building and a small-group workplace tour was held at the same time. On the day of the event, we deepened communication between family members and colleagues through events where they could learn about the company's IP and animation production, such as tracing work, one of the production processes.

Group Internal Commendation System: Bandai Namco Awards

Principal companies in the Bandai Namco Group have introduced performance-linked remuneration frameworks that correlate a company’s operating profit with employee profit sharing. In this way, we are encouraging employees to take on challenges. In addition, we have established systems for the proposal of ideas regarding IP, products, and services for Units and companies and other systems. In these ways, we have established frameworks that transcend boundaries between companies and departments and enable employees to make their own proposals. Furthermore, by introducing systems that give recognition to teams and employees for taking on challenges, we are working to establish foundations and a corporate culture that make it easier to address challenges with a positive attitude.

Every year, the Bandai Namco Group hosts the Bandai Namco Awards to recognize the best-performing teams from each year. During the judging, the success of the content, creativity, relevance, and consideration for sustainability are deemed important points.
