New Employees Complete Training and Join Their Departments

Hello, this is the HR Department. The Kanesa Group welcomed 9 new employees for the 2025 fiscal year. After completing approximately three weeks of training since April 1, they are now being assigned to their respective departments starting today. Out of the 9, 8 will be assigned to the Delivery Department of Gyohai Co., Ltd., and 1 will be assigned to the Human Resources Department of Kanesa Fujiwaraya Co., Ltd. During the training, the new employees toured factories and experienced various departments. Additionally, four executives gave talks: President Masamune Sato, Vice President Mariko Sato, Former President Yuji Sato of Kanesa Fujiwaraya Co., Ltd., and President Shigeo Sato of Gyohai Co., Ltd. These talks were a valuable opportunity for the new employees to directly feel the thoughts of the executives, bringing them closer to the leadership team. We hope they will shine in their new assignments, cherishing what they learned and felt during the training!   With the addition of these 9 new team members, the Kanesa Group will continue striving even harder this fiscal year. If you see our new employees during deliveries, we would be grateful if you could give them a warm welcome.   Starting this year, the

First Employee Cafeteria Buffet

This is from the General Affairs Department. As part of our employee benefits at the headquarters, we have an employee cafeteria where meals cost only 300 yen each. Tracing the history of our employee cafeteria, it began with former Vice President Fujio Sato of Fujiwaraya’s thoughtful desire: “I want to let employees eat lunch without worrying about money or portion sizes.” It seems that in the past, female employees would help prepare lunch, but currently, a contracted company prepares delicious lunches every day. Normally, there’s a daily changing menu like this, including seasonal offerings. (The menu can also be changed to noodle dishes) The company contracted to run our employee cafeteria planned and hosted a “Cafeteria Buffet”! They prepared many different dishes! That day, there was also a management training session, so employees from all six Tohoku prefectures enjoyed the delicious meal together. Usually, about 60 people use the cafeteria, but on this day, it was very busy with 100 people!   Chicken Yakisoba Braised pork belly Salad Minestrone Cake, and many other items were available. I was also able to enjoy eating for the full hour of my break. The Kanesa Group implements various initiatives for employees, including this
