Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo raised the base salary for its employees by 10%.

That news was shared by president Shuntaru Furukawa during a shareholders meeting today. This came in response to an investor bringing up how Nintendo doesn’t have a labor union.

Furukawa noted it’s important to “keep compensation levels appropriate”. Doing so is “important for our long-term growth to secure our workforce,” he said.

Furukawa’s full comments. “We are maintaining salaries at an appropriate level. I believe it is important to keep compensation levels appropriate. We are implementing salary increases, such as raising the base salary by 10%.”

Reuters reports that the Nintendo salary increase comes “amid calls by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for Japanese companies to pay workers more as inflation takes hold in an economy used to years of deflation and stagnant wages, and as Japan prepares for its annual spring round of labor negotiations.”
