TOKYOOctober 21 (News On Japan) – A theme park in Tochigi Prefecture, Nasu Highland Park, has introduced a high-paying part-time job program called ‘Platinum Part-Time Jobs’, with an hourly wage of 2,500 yen, almost double the regular rate.
This new initiative, which aims to recruit employees with strong customer service and sales skills, has generated a lot of attention.
During the first implementation during the festive season in Obon, sales in several stores tripled compared to the previous year.
The park credits this success to the proactive involvement of the platinum part-time employees, who were able to recommend products effectively and communicate well with customers. Many of the recruits came from diverse professional backgrounds, such as sales and service industries, which contributed to their ability to drive sales. Following this success, Nasu Highland Park plans to recruit Platinum part-time workers throughout the year, with an emphasis on weekends and holidays, in the hope that the skills these employees demonstrate will positively impact their permanent workforce.
