Through a Japanese press release later translated into English, Bandai Namco – publisher of many successful games including the recent Elden Ring – has announced that it has decided to give a increase to all Japanese salaried employees of the company. We are talking about 50,000 Yen more per month, or just over € 390.
In addition, Bandai Namco will increase the salary of the new employees from 232,000 Yen to 290,000 Yen, or a final value of about € 2,270. All changes are scheduled for April 2022. Why has Bandai Namco decided to move in this direction?
There Bandai Namco’s decision is devoted to giving more stability to its employees during a period during which the company is engaged in new projects such as “Connect with the Fans”, which is described by the company as a “new mechanism that aims to connect the company with the fans all over the world, putting IP at the center “. Bandai believes the salary increase will help “improve employee autonomy and creativity”. Furthermore, Bandai wants to propose the possibility of choosing which hours to work. In addition, each employee will receive compensation of 10,000 Yen (approximately € 78) each month.
For the moment it is unclear whether other regions of the world will receive salary increases. Bandai Namco can celebrate the success of Elden Ring, the most recent big name released by the Japanese company.
