Koei Tecmo Offering Bonuses To Procreating Employees
Posted by admin in Game Retail Store
Doing its part to combat Japan’s population loss and declining birth rate, newly merged company Koei Tecmo is offering a new program that will reward employees for having children.
Under the initiative, Koei Tecmo will give $1,000 to workers who have their first child, $2,000 for their second, and $20,000 for their third and every baby thereafter, according to a report from Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun translated by Andriasang.com. Before the two entities merged, each company had a policy giving $1,000 to their employees per child birthed.
As odd as this sounds, it isn’t unheard of — Bandai (now a subsidiary of Namco Bandai) started a similar program in 2000 giving its workers $10,000 for each child they have after their second.
