Prioritizing Employee Well-being and Growth

Diversity as a Catalyst for Innovation
AXIS-Y views diversity not just as a corporate goal but as a key driver of innovation.

This strategy has contributed to a 30% increase in customer engagement across international markets, positioning AXIS-Y as a trailblazer in the skincare industry.
Employee Experiences: The Power of Cultural Exchange
AXIS-Y’s employees consistently highlight the enriching experiences that come from working in such a multicultural environment.
“Working with colleagues from different nationalities, languages, and cultures has been incredibly enriching. This diversity brings new perspectives to our work and enhances collaboration,” says So-Hyun Park, Product Development Team.

Building Bonds Through Shared Experiences
AXIS-Y understands that strong teams are built on shared experiences. In July 2023, the company hosted a retreat on Jeju Island, where employees engaged in team-building activities, creative brainstorming sessions, and cultural exchanges.

This inclusive approach has led to a 35% increase in market share across key regions, including North America.
Overcoming Language Barriers to Foster Unity
In a multicultural workforce, language barriers can present challenges. AXIS-Y addresses this by offering language education and promoting open collaboration across teams. This commitment to communication has not only enhanced employee participation but also led to a 10% improvement in project efficiency, fostering a cohesive and productive corporate culture.
Impacting Local and Global Communities
AXIS-Y is not only making strides within its organization but also impacting broader communities. The company contributes to the local economy in Seoul by creating jobs and extends its influence globally by recruiting talent from diverse cultural backgrounds.
