Seiji Nakata, president of Daiwa Securities Group Inc., a major securities firm, said that the focus will be on how far the wage increase will spread in the next spring battle. He showed his intention to raise the above wages.
This was revealed in an interview with NHK by President Seiji Nakata of Daiwa Securities Group Inc.
In this, President Nakata commented on the next spring fight, saying, "The market is strong and business performance is improving. We are forced to live a stressful life due to the corona disaster, and the cost of living is rising due to the rise in gasoline and food prices, so we will raise wages. By doing so, I would like our employees to do their best to improve their business performance. "
In addition, next year, he said that he would raise the wages by 3% or more, including the base increase to raise the basic salary and the lump-sum payment, for about 13,000 employees of the group working in Japan.
Daiwa Securities has decided to raise wages for the first time in four years, and plans to raise the starting salary of new employees by about 10,000 yen.
For next spring fight, Prime Minister Kishida said, "Companies whose business performance has recovered to the level before Corona expect a wage increase of more than 3%," and asked the business community for cooperation. It will be interesting to see how the shown wage increase of 3% or more will affect the movements of other companies.
