On the 19th of June Fukuoka was named the “Best Workplace in Fukuoka 2019” by Randstad. The award is an endorsement of all the hard work of every LINER to create a desirable place to work.

The award comes of the back of the “employer brand research” survey carried out by Randstad (one of the world’s largest staffing firms). Initially started in Belgium in 2000 the survey now looks at 30 different countries and regions and this is the 8th time it has conducted the survey in Japan. However this was the first time conducting the survey in Fukuoka (and its surrounding areas) and respondents were asked about their impressions of businesses specifically mentioning:

・Latest technologies
・Stimulating work
・Career progression
・Work-life balance
・Pleasant work atmosphere
