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 when I first joined, the company's internal systems were something that struck me as fresh.

There are a variety of in-house systems, from those found in other companies to unique systems.
We will introduce some of these in-house systems.

Flextime system

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

On days when you want to leave work early because you're going out drinking tonight, you
can arrive at work at 9:00 and head out for drinks as soon as 18:00.

And if you think, "I drank too much today and 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 is free to wear whatever they like to work, and
there's no rule that says you have to wear a suit every day just because you're a new employee.

People who plan to go out sometimes wear suits.
Beyond also has hoodies and work clothes, so those who want to wear them can order them, and those who don't can choose not to wear them.

So far, no one has an unusual hairstyle, so
I wonder if someone will suddenly dye their hair blonde.

Luncheon

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

Because we have a flextime system, there is no morning assembly, but instead there is a lunch meeting at 12:15.
At the lunch meeting, one person takes turns giving a one-minute speech based on a given topic each day.
The topic changes depending on the day of the week, so it can be confusing if you are given a topic that you are not good at.

It's rare to have the opportunity to speak alone in front of others for one minute, so
I really feel the importance of outputting what I have input.

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 are not ordered from a vendor, but
are sold at a store run by Nomushin (Nomura-san) from our development team.
This "Nomushin Store" has been the most mysterious entity since I joined the company.

Nomushin regularly stocks food items and
sells instant noodles, snacks, juices, and other items at prices lower than those of convenience stores and supermarkets.
people who don't have time to go out to buy or eat, or
who find it a hassle to go out.

Internal networking event

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

Anyone can host a social gathering if they propose something they want to do and get three or more people involved.
You might be worried that if you propose something and no one shows up,
you just have to trust in your own popularity.

We have posted a photo of the first event held on Friday, February 9th on Facebook, so
please take a quick look.

summary

What did you think?

When I first joined the company, everything felt new and unknown to me, but
after three months it all became second nature. It's amazing how quickly we get used to things.
I haven't yet fully grasped all the systems, so
I'd like to learn more about the company.

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 other things like this, but
I'll write more about them later.

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