Work Style

A work environment that adapts to the times.
We are dedicated to working in different ways, including remote work, shared offices, and side jobs.

In-house environment

A place where people can work
together to create experiences that
astound the world

To ensure that all employees are able to play an active role,
we put a great deal of effort into onboarding, training,
operation of an evaluation system, 1-on-1 training, support for developing skills, and other initiatives.
Even as the scale of the company grows, by carrying out “YAGOO Lunches”—periodic opportunities for employees to speak with the president—and monthly meetings that all employees attend, we ensure that every employee is aware of what initiatives COVER is implementing. We also verify the perspectives of all employees in order to promote our value of daring to take action.

A culture that respects creativity
and utilizes individual strengths

So that employees find it easy to talk to one another on a normal basis, we carry out a range of initiatives aimed at improving communication within the company, including welcome lunches for new employees and COVER Café, where members can interact. In these ways, we encourage a culture of taking responsibility as a team.
Throughout the fiscal year, we award the employees who embody our values and get results. Through this and other efforts, we make sure employees place importance on respecting one another, taking on challenges, and working to the end of a project, and we work hard to foster an atmosphere where employees feel they progress together.
