Our Culture
Our Values
Meikai’s Culture and Values is the core of our company, and it defines how we do our work. Our team strives to make the complex simple and the simple compelling. Here at Meikai we want to provide professional and trusted advice to our clients while ensuring we create a great place to work. How we achieve our goals is as important as what we achieve.
The Team
We are a very close knit team. We believe that building a strong team culture is important for the success of Meikai. One day a week is dedicated for collaboration with the team at the Meikai Headquarters. This allows us to share our experiences and knowledge from our projects, which provides new perspectives and help each other with our projects. We also have a few days a year to discuss the business, which we call 'Meikai's Strategy and Culture Day'. This gives a chance for everyone to provide their opinions on how things are going. Lastly, we understand that we all need a break from work and to have fun as a team, so we have team activities throughout the year. Have a look at our LinkedIn to see our team activities.
