UPWARD will continue to contribute to the improvement of creativity of field workers around the world.

Background of new office relocation ‍

SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 2016, UPWARD HAS EXPERIENCED STEADY BUSINESS GROWTH AND THE ORGANIZATION HAS EXPANDED EVERY YEAR. ALTHOUGH THE CORONA DISASTER HAS ONCE MADE OUR WORK STYLE CENTERED ON REMOTE WORK, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE FURTHER BUSINESS GROWTH AND EXPAND SPEEDILY INTO NEW MARKETS, THE IMPORTANCE OF A "PHYSICAL OFFICE SPACE (OFFLINE WORK SPACE)" THAT ENCOURAGES CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE INTERNAL COMMUNICATION HAS ALSO INCREASED. IT WAS IN THE MIDST OF THIS CHANGING ENVIRONMENT THAT WE DECIDED TO RELOCATE TO A NEW OFFICE.

Future Prospects

THROUGH THE NEW OFFLINE WORKSPACE AND REMOTE HYBRID WORK AFTER THE OFFICE RELOCATION, UPWARD EMPLOYEES THEMSELVES WILL TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE THEIR CREATIVITY, THEREBY FURTHER EVOLVING UPWARD'S WORK STYLE. BY FURTHER ACCELERATING BUSINESS GROWTH THROUGH THE EVOLUTION OF WORK STYLES, UPWARD WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENHANCEMENT OF CREATIVITY OF CLIENT COMPANIES AND SOCIETY.
