UJP Workation Contributes to Local Community

In September of last year, UNIVA Japan (UJP) signed a comprehensive tie-up agreement with Horokanai, a town in Hokkaido.

First Offline Gathering Since Launch of UNIVA SNS

Since the introduction of the Group SNS Project in the January issue of UNI-SIGHT, the number of NAKAMA participating via Slack has increased. Our interactions have not been confined to SNS.

In this relaxed atmosphere the lively conversation never stopped, and it wasn’t just a good time. UNIVA Marche operations formed personal ties with customers, and an informal market survey was conducted. Since opportunities to meet NAKAMA from outside our companies are rare, everyone got a real taste of the pleasure and value of intersections with others who do not work for the same business.
