Job+

The SEGA SAMMY Group allows employees to pursue side businesses for the purpose of improving the corporate value of the group and creating new innovation, by means of personal development and self-realization. Some examples of accepted side businesses include teaching music, engaging in sports, voice acting, consulting, and picture book production.
(Employees may work outside business hours or on holidays provided they pass a screening conducted by their respective company.)

Hybrid Work

To strike a balance between productivity and flexibility, the company as a whole has transitioned to a hybrid work system that optimally utilizes the benefits of office work while allowing employees to work remotely up to twice a week. It is possible to negotiate even more flexible working arrangements, such as increased remote shifts to support childcare needs or caregiving and catering for overseas meetings with significant time differences.

*New hires are required to work at the office for at least six months after joining the company to familiarize themselves with their work and surroundings.

Initiatives to Promote Diversity

At SEGA, we have established a system to ensure that same-sex domestic partners are guaranteed the same rights and benefits as employees in an opposite-sex marriage. This applies to various employee benefits such as taking leave for celebratory, bereavement, and caregiving purposes, reimbursements for travel expenses when returning home during work assignments, and access to our recreational facilities. Additional paid leave is also available to support employees who are undergoing gender affirmation surgery and gender-affirming hormone therapy.
