This is how we work [Beyond's internal systems]

This is Umi Fujisawa from Public Relations

It's been three months since I joined Beyond.
I've gotten used to it now, but what I found particularly interesting when I first joined was the company's internal systems.

, some of which are common in other companies, and others that are unique to ours.
Here are a few examples of such internal systems.

Flextime system

The system is that you can come at any time between 9:00 and 12:00

If you're planning to go out for drinks tonight and want to leave work early, you
can arrive at 9:00 AM and head out for drinks as soon as 6:00 PM arrives.

And if you think, "I drank too much today, so I want to sleep in...",
you can adjust your schedule so that you come to work at 12:00 the next day and work until 21:00.

If your shifts are assigned by week, these are your working hours

• E (Early): 9:00-18:00
• L (Late): 14:00-23:00
• Nth (Night): 22:45 - 9:15 the next day

This ensures that there is always someone in the office 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

Clothing and hairstyle are free

Everyone works in whatever attire they like.
There's no rule that new employees have to wear a suit every day.

Those who have plans to go out may wear suits.
Beyond hoodies and work clothes are also available, and it's up to the individual whether they want to order them or not.

Nobody has a particularly unusual hairstyle right now, so
I'm wondering if someone will suddenly show up with blonde hair.

Luncheon

There is a piece of paper like this posted in the office

Since we have a flexible work schedule, there is no morning meeting, but there is a midday meeting at 12:15.
During the midday meeting, one person takes turns each day giving a one-minute speech on a given topic.
The topic changes depending on the day of the week, so it can be confusing if you get a topic that you're not comfortable with.

Opportunities to speak in front of an audience for one minute by myself are rare, so
I really feel the importance of outputting what I've learned.

Nomushin Shoten

This is the rest room. Some older men are leisurely eating rusks

In the corner of the break room, there were papers with "100 yen" and "150 yen" written on them, as well as some food

There are lots of the same drinks in the fridge

These items aren't ordered from a supplier;
they're from a shop run by our development team member, Nomushin (Mr. Nomura).
This "Nomushin Shop" was the most mysterious entity I encountered when I first joined the company.

Nomushin regularly stocks up on food items,
selling instant noodles, snacks, juices, and more at lower prices than convenience stores and supermarkets.
people who don't have time to go out to buy or eat, or
who simply don't want to go out.

Internal networking event

This is a system that was recently created to [deepen interaction between members]

Anyone can organize a get-together if they propose something they want to do and gather three or more people. Of course,
there's the worry of what will happen if you propose something and no one shows up, but
in that case, you just have to trust in your own ability to connect with people.

We've posted about the first event held on February 9th (Friday) on Facebook, so
please take a quick look.

summary

What did you think?

When I first joined the company, everything felt new and unfamiliar, but
after three months, it started to feel normal, which just goes to show how quickly you get used to things.
I haven't yet fully experienced all the company
's systems and procedures, so I'd like to learn more about the company going forward.

There are also other "in-house study sessions,"

• Held once a month
• Employees take turns talking for about 30 minutes
• The theme is free

There are also things like that, but
I'll write about the details later.

Well then, everyone, I hope you have a good life at work
