Basic approach to human resource development
Inspired by our mission to “Create partnerships that change the world” and our purpose of “Realizing people’s aspirations through M&A,” we create meaningful connections through our M&A brokerage services.
Despite the rapid changes in the corporate environment, we remain steadfast in our mission and our commitment to being the company of choice for our clients. To achieve this, we focus on the proper evaluation, development, and engagement of our personnel, which is central to our competitiveness, as well as on fostering a workplace culture where each employee can reach their full potential.

Performance evaluation system
At Strike, employees set their own goals annually and we conduct performance evaluations based on these goals to promote employee growth. In our evaluations, we prioritize compliance components, ensuring that legal and ethical conduct permeates our organization.
We also have systems in place to recognize not only high performers but also those involved in deals of significant social value, offering a multi-faceted evaluation that values not just monetary contribution but also social contribution and regional economic revitalization. Through these performance evaluation systems, we provide fair assessments and feedback to our employees, supporting their career development.
