Based on the concept of "Human Resources System that evolves the ZOZO Way," we operate a system with values (the ZOZO Way) at its core. Comprehensive evaluation based on performance (results and actions) against grade definitions, value behaviors, and goals, with compensation determined twice a year.The system is designed so that positions and grades are not completely interlocked, and the job function pay ranges are detailed for each grade, allowing for flexible pay raises based on evaluation results. In addition, after a certain grade, employees can choose between management and specialist careers, which allows for career selection and evaluation that makes the most of individual strengths and abilities.

Daily Progress Allowance

In order to realize “Make a difference everyday," which is one of the ZOZO Way, the allowance is provided for the purpose of personal growth so that each employee can make steady progress from yesterday to today and from today to tomorrow with peace of mind. The amount of the allowance is increased by 2,500 yen for every six months of service, up to a maximum of 100,000 yen per month.
