The day he first decided to take up cleaning as his job, he knew he needed to overcome the stigma surrounding the job. At that time in Japan, people's views on people who did cleaning for a living were very harsh. Cleaning work was considered by many to be a job for the uneducated and for those who had no other job available. However, the founder, Fukui, decided to make cleaning his job. At the time, he was still working for a major Japanese house cleaning company and was receiving countless complaints from customers.
He believed that the cause of the complaint was related to the cleaner's motivation, and he tried to motivate his coworkers, but the situation did not improve much. This was also one of the factors that led him to decide to start his own company and find colleagues and collaborators with the same goals.
Faced with the prejudice against cleaning jobs from the inside and outside, he thought twice. For highly educated people, this job may not even be considered a job. However, he understood that this work was truly meaningful to many people around the world. Cleaning work is not only his main source of income to support himself and his family, but also a career and life that he has built with his own hands. Every time we complete a job, whether it's just cleaning the air conditioner, cleaning the entire kitchen, or cleaning the entire house from roof to floor, we deeply appreciate all the words of appreciation we share with our customers. That's probably why he's still working. From our direct staff to our customer support staff, we have always remained true to our belief in our mission to educate and train our staff, which is also our uncompromising standard of service to our over 300 stores across Japan.
In the face of such prejudice from within and outside, he thought a lot. He believes that for many well-educated people, this labor job is probably just a side job. But he understands that this work really means something to him and to many people out there. It is not only his main source of income to support himself and his family, but now it is also a career he has built with his own hands. If so, why is it called secondary?
Every time he completes a job, whether it's just cleaning the air conditioner, cleaning the entire kitchen, or cleaning the entire house from roof to floor, he deeply appreciates every word of appreciation he shares with his customers. That's probably why he continues to work until now. Always true to our belief in our mission to educate and train our staff, from our direct staff to our customer support staff, it is also our uncompromising standard of service for our more than 300 transfer stores in Japan.
He understands and appreciates the value his profession brings. Particularly when it comes to cleaning homes, cleaning and beautifying the environment and people, if the process is recognized by experts, there will be value and results that go beyond mere satisfaction. This means that not only will your home be bright, clean, and tidy as if it had been washed and replaced, but it will also have a lot of invisible value in the long run. In this regard, he shared an article discussing the correlation between sanitation and crime rates in New York City. This article cites a wealth of evidence that shows that urban cleanliness is directly proportional to the downward trend in urban crime rates.
Perhaps this is just one of the many things that prove that living in a clean environment definitely has a positive impact on the behavior, attitude and psychology of each person. And if each person becomes better and better, it means that the whole society will also develop more and more, he said, of course. And, this is also a big reason why he recognized “Ikigai'' or ”Yarigai'' in his career and incorporated it as one of the company's many training mottos.
