Yayoi Kotsu Co., Ltd., a part of the km Group, has implemented a senior-friendly working environment by setting the retirement age at 65 and removing age limits for reemployment. The company offers flexible start and end times based on individual needs. Salaries are fixed, with performance-based bonuses. Their evaluation system considers multiple factors beyond sales performance, allowing for increases or decreases in bonuses. This same system applies after retirement, and wages are not reduced simply due to aging. However, after age 70, employment contracts become shorter, and health checks are strictly enforced.
I think this company is doing a great job helping older people work longer with peace of mind. It’s nice that their salary doesn’t go down just because of age, and they’re evaluated on more than just sales. The regular health checks also make it feel safe. I hope more companies in Japan follow this example, especially as the population gets older.
Ageing is a serious problem, and I think this type of system is a very good thing.
