New year, better us - An insight into Jústo
As 2020 passed, we realized how important it is to save up some time for ourselves… We started to meditate in order to rethink and recharge, to wipe away a horrible day or to be thankful for a magical one. With this realization, our company believes it is critical to help our employees to deepen the connection with themselves, not only by offering support if needed but also a little incentive 😉.
The why before the what
Needless to say, the COVID-19 pandemic changed our lives. Everyone is well aware of the implications of this virus and how it affected, negatively in most cases, our lives, plans and dreams. In spite of this, we hope that you make the best out of these times, by learning how to put yourself first. As an international company, Justo acknowledges the need for our Japanese branch to improve the work-life balance, due to the serious social issues that affects the Japanese population lately. As a result, we want to show our support in any personal goals you would like to achieve in 2021.
The invisible hand
Sometimes it is hard to find the motivation to do something, although it may bring you long term benefits. We all know how hard it is to start a diet, to stop eating junk food or to start meditating, but, in 2021 we make our employees our first priority. Lesson number 1? Start loving and appreciating yourself.
Easy to say but hard to do…? As a result of the latest feedback from our stores, the board of directors agreed that apart from the one-hour lunch break, a new store policy will be implemented starting 1st of March 2021 – The 5 minutes of mindfulness 😌. This policy implies that during your working hours, five minutes will be allocated to personal development, meditation, stress relief or just a fun 5-minute dance party. By introducing this policy, we hope that our employees will get an energy and confidence boost during the day so that the overall working experience and satisfaction will improve.
“Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment. Practising mindfulness involves breathing methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind and help reduce stress.”
More good news! Apart from The 5 minutes of mindfulness policy, the board of directors agreed on offering a 20% employee discount on top of any campaigns that are running 🈹. This means that you can pamper yourself anytime you feel like it and get the full Justo Jewellery experience. The employee discount is an all-year-round discount for the Justo personnel and can only be used by our employees. The store's managers have to validate every transaction where the personnel discount is applied and may do so by scanning their employee pass. For more information regarding the applicability of the discount, please refer to this page.
Good vibes only
As stepping into this journey together, we realize how important it is to be well informed and have someone to guide you. Self-discovery and development are scary concepts that some people are not ready to approach, and we understand that. However, if you feel like our energies align, we want to make sure you have our full support in this new phase of your life. For that, we made available three personal coaches for our Japanese branches. You can contact them using your work email, and they will help you with anything you need, free of charge 💴.
