Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation reviewed the rules for wearing suits and started a full-scale effort to allow free clothing. Major banks are also trying to create a workplace that creates new ideas as the business environment becomes severe due to competition with IT companies that have entered FinTech.
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Co., Ltd. has canceled the principle of wearing suits during work this month.
On the 2nd day of the first business day, casual staff were admitted to the head office in Tokyo Marunouchi, one after another, dressed in favorite clothes such as polo shirts.
Until last month, the bank had been experimenting with casual clothing in the summer, but since 90% of its employees wanted to continue, they worked at headquarters in Tokyo and Osaka. It was approved throughout the year for approximately 7,000 employees.
At stores in each region, if managers, such as branch managers, wish to wear clothes other than suits, including those in charge of customer service, we will accept them.
IT companies and others have entered the fintech field, which integrates finance and IT, and the business environment of major banks has become harsh. In the midst of change, we need to work with new ideas. We want to be part of our culture reform to allow free clothing. "
