Inui Group Supports the Japan National Team: Hosting World Cup Events in the Workplace

Inui Group (headquartered in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture) is organizing a variety of in-house events across the company to boost employee unity during the FIFA World Cup.

The company is holding internal polls, prize campaigns, and authorized public viewing sessions during working hours, rallying employees across all locations to cheer for the Japan national team as one.

● Nationwide Employee Participation Through Internal Polls

Prior to the tournament, the company conducted an employee survey to predict Japan's performance and the eventual champion.

The poll drew widespread participation from employees nationwide, fostering communication across departments and locations and enhancing interpersonal connections.

Additionally, spurred by an impromptu idea from the company president, prizes were introduced. This surprise initiative generated far greater enthusiasm than expected across the organization.

※ Prizes

Employees who correctly predict the winning country will be awarded a site visit to a department of their choice plus a one-day sightseeing trip!

If the Japan national team advances to the top four, employees may bring their families!

● Authorized Public Viewing During Working Hours

For Japan's matches, the company officially permitted employees to watch games live during working hours.

At headquarters, public viewing events and pizza parties were held.

Employees gathered spontaneously across departments and job levels, creating a valuable opportunity to strengthen organizational unity.

● Inui Group Actually Supports Japanese Football

This World Cup support campaign is more than just an internal event.

Inui Group's products are widely adopted in major football stadiums across Japan, playing a key role in creating the very stages where Japan's national and professional football players compete.

For example:

・ MUFG Stadium (National Stadium)

・ Saitama Stadium 2002

・ Panasonic Stadium Suita

・ EIDOLON Peace Wing Hiroshima

・ Yanmar Hanasaka Stadium Nagai

・ NOEVIR Stadium Kobe

Inui Group products are active in stadiums nationwide, and Japan national team players have competed in numerous matches within these environments.

Though not always in the spotlight, we continue to support Japan's sports infrastructure through manufacturing excellence.

● Continuing Investment in the Future Through "Ongoing Recruitment"

Inui Group promotes "ongoing recruitment," advancing proactive hiring and comprehensive onboarding with an eye toward the future.

This strategy has proven effective: in fiscal year 2025, approximately 15% of all employees were new hires, with about 90% retention.

Furthermore, recruitment for fiscal year 2026 is already accelerating at a pace exceeding the previous year.

This series of initiatives is positioned as a key management strategy—not merely filling vacancies, but investing in future growth.

● Building an Organization That Values Challenge Over Tenure

At Inui Group, employees are given opportunities based on initiative rather than age or length of service.

In practice:

・ Employees promoted to site managers within less than one year of joining

・ Employees advanced to on-site leaders within three months of joining

・ Female employees actively serving as branch managers

The company continues to advance talent development based on ability and motivation.

Additionally, the company is continuously improving the work environment, including 128 days of annual holidays (based on the company calendar; some locations are preparing for implementation).

● Looking Ahead

Inui Group will continue creating workplaces where every employee can take pride in their work, aiming to enhance corporate value through investment in people.

Through active communication via sports and in-house events, and by fostering a corporate culture that encourages challenge, the group will continue striving to grow alongside local communities.
