SEGA has joined Nintendo in offering a pay rise to its staff after Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, called on tech companies to raise wages across the board in an effort to attract more staff from overseas. SEGA will now offer its employees a 30% salary increase that will take effect on July 1, 2023. However, it should be noted that newly hired graduates can expect a 35% increase.
“[This will] further stabilize employee incomes and create a more pleasant working environment and further strengthen its global competitiveness. We are working to reform our various personnel systems so that employees can maximize their potential in a pleasant work environment.”
“We will continue to invest in the education of human resources, including not only the development of a compensation system that treats employees according to their roles and contributions, but also the expansion of measures to support work styles for each employee to live his own life. We will continue our efforts to realize a system that allows our employees to grow while understanding different work styles and provide further heart-warming experiences around the world.”
