GLG Certified as a "Great Place to Work" for the Second Consecutive Year

Gerson Lehrman Group Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Hayato Hashimoto; hereinafter "GLG"), a world-leading, trusted platform for "human insights," has been certified as a "Great Place to Work" for the second consecutive year in the 2026 "Great Place to Work" survey conducted by Great Place to Work® Institute Japan (hereinafter "GPTW Japan").

At GLG, creating an environment where each employee can be an autonomous professional and maximize their performance is one of management's top priorities. This certification for the second consecutive year demonstrates that our organizational culture is not temporary, but has become a sustainable strength.

Key Points of "Great Place to Work" in the 2026 Survey

The results of this employee questionnaire highlighted the following items as particularly excellent (TOP3):

"Comprehensive Welfare Benefits and Perks"
GLG emphasizes the mental and physical health and career development of its employees. Benefits that support various life stages and high-level learning assistance form a strong foundation that supports professional autonomy. This comprehensive support system has led to high evaluations for the second consecutive year.

"Easy to Take Time Off"

Not only is "taking time off" recognized as a right, but there is also a deeply rooted culture where the entire team respects each other's need for refreshment, and smoothly hands over and covers tasks when a member is absent. By clearly switching between work and personal life, the environment maintains high concentration and creativity, leading to high evaluations for the second consecutive year.

"Employees are Entrusted with Responsible Work"
This was a newly prominent strength in this survey. Regardless of whether they are young or experienced, each employee takes ownership as a professional and plays an important role directly connected to client decision-making. This "high degree of discretion" and "culture of empowerment" enhances individuals' sense of growth and job satisfaction.
