NAVICUS, a SNS Marketing Support Firm Operating on a Full-Remote and Full-Flex Basis Since Inception, Adopts 'And-L Work'

And-L Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Satoshi Furuhashi; hereinafter 'the Company') is pleased to announce that NAVICUS Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazuya Takeuchi), which provides communication support for companies and local governments centered on SNS strategy design, has adopted our corporate health support service, 'And-L Work.'

Having designed its organization on the premise of full-remote and full-flex work since before the COVID-19 pandemic, with members located across Japan including Fukuoka and Aichi, the company has successfully minimized the risk of long-term leave through the introduction of 'And-L Work.'

Background of Adoption NAVICUS Inc. develops communication support services centered on SNS strategy design under the mission of 'creating a place where tomorrow is something to look forward to.' Valuing 'Emologic,' a unique set of values that combines logical strategy with sensibility, the company has consistently maintained full-remote and full-flex work as its organizational standard since before the pandemic. It has realized an advanced way of working where autonomous professionals participate from all over the country.

Because it is a group of highly autonomous professionals, there was a need for a system that supports them from multiple perspectives as an organization, rather than leaving daily performance management solely to individuals. In addition to professional care by industrial physicians, the company introduced 'And-L Work' to establish a new condition care mechanism that focuses on 'utilizing it to work in the best state at all times' rather than 'dealing with it after becoming unwell.'

Effects of Adoption Active utilization began immediately after introduction, accelerating the flow of catching changes in condition early and connecting them to support. With members even winning MVPs after returning from temporary rest, a positive culture is taking root that 'maintaining one's condition is a process for improving the quality of one's career.'

Furthermore, introducing it during onboarding for new hires has directly led to a sense of security that 'the company is seriously thinking about our condition.'

- Realizing fair health support for full-remote employees nationwide: A system has been established where all employees can receive the same quality of care regardless of their place of residence through a service that is completed online. - Improving 'employment continuity' through the establishment of early care: A mechanism that allows for casual consultation at the stage of 'slight discomfort' has led to stable long-term employment. By redefining rest not as a 'career interruption' but as an 'adjustment to return to the best state,' an environment is being fostered where everyone can continue to work in their own way across diverse life stages. - Expanding options for line care: Because 'And-L Work' allows for casual consultation via LINE chat, supervisors can now provide advice to members who are feeling unwell by saying 'Why don't you try consulting via chat first?' instead of 'You should go to the hospital,' providing a helpful cushion.
