Background Behind the 5th-Place Recognition in Kyushu-Okinawa

INREVO’s recognition stems from its continuous improvements on both policy and operational fronts to address organizational challenges that emerged during rapid expansion, despite being a fully remote startup in its fourth year of operation. The company has advanced the development of employee benefits, evaluation systems, and internal training programs, while continuously reviewing the work environment to build an organization where employees can confidently take on challenges.

Additionally, the company believes its efforts in supporting businesses across Japan facing recruitment challenges through its recruitment support service "Hitotore Saiyo" have also contributed to this recognition. By increasing headcount under a fully remote model, INREVO has been able to support more client companies and expand its range of solutions tailored to individual business needs, aligning with its business growth.

To support business expansion, INREVO promotes a company culture built on the principles of "Just Do It First," "Speak Up First," and "Correct It First," aiming for a society where innovative technologies and compelling businesses receive fair recognition. By embedding these values into daily operations, the company has successfully balanced a comfortable work environment with one that encourages risk-taking—factors that contributed directly to this recognition.

High-Scoring Items in Employee Surveys

INREVO’s internal employee survey revealed particularly high ratings in the following areas:

The company offers unique benefits and advantages

Employees are encouraged to maintain a work-life balance

Employees are treated fairly regardless of sexual orientation

The company views these results as evidence that its initiatives in policy development and organizational management have effectively reached and resonated with employees.
