New TeamSpirit Core Values To Prepare For The Next Stage of Growth

In August last year, TeamSpirit Inc celebrated the second anniversary of our listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Correspondingly, we renewed our core values to welcome the new stage of growth for the next ten years. As our organization expands, we also began to see signs of the big company disease.

In order to realize our mission, "Make Everyone An Innovator", we formulated the following core values with the aim of transforming the factors that hinder innovation from within the organization.

A commitment to create value that our customers are not aware of.

A circle of contribution with our stakeholders with integrity and respect.

Create an ideal vision, experiment at the speed of light, and learn from our mistakes.

Every day we go back to the first day of the startup and explore the unknown.

In addition, as a foundation for spreading these values throughout the company and to encourage employees to embody them, we have launched an initiative called "Hidden Heroes". Employees vote internally on a set of good internal initiatives that align with the TeamSpirit new core values, and the results are announced at a company-wide meeting.

This enables employees to recognize the specific actions that are indicated by the core values, which are abstract concepts, and to visualize themselves embodying the core values and incorporate them into their daily actions. Even though in-person communication opportunities are decreasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this initiative has been very well received by employees.
