Nintendo has announced that it will improve the remuneration of Japanese employees, despite the fact that the company’s own revenues have decreased. It will raise the base salary of both new and current employees by 10%.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explained during a conversation with investors that this step will help strengthen the company’s “ability to hire.” It is important for Nintendo to create comfortable conditions for employees in order to ensure the growth of the publisher’s income in the long term.
Earlier, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called on Japanese companies to raise salaries due to rising inflation in the country.
