- Social Contributions Through Business Activities
We develop and operate business activities that support the active participation of diverse talent.
As declining birthrates, an aging population, and
increasingly diverse workstyles continue to reshape
society, there remain many people who have limited
access to employment opportunities or places where
they can fully apply their abilities. Work is not
only a means of livelihood, but also an important
opportunity to engage with society and make use
of one’s experience and capabilities.
Through its business activities, the Group
addresses these social challenges by creating
environments in which people with limited
employment options—including persons with
disabilities, senior citizens, single parents,
and individuals without prior experience—can
continue working with peace of mind through its
proprietary business schemes.
By developing and expanding a diverse range of
businesses, we are creating environments in which
individuals with diverse backgrounds can
demonstrate their respective strengths and thrive,
while contributing to the realization of a sustainable
society.
Promoting the employment of those with disabilities
with disabilities
As the statutory employment rate for people with disabilities rises, companies are expected not only to secure the required number of employees, but also to design jobs and roles that match each individual’s characteristics and create environments where they can thrive over the long term. In practice, however, many companies face challenges in job design and workplace readiness, leading to mismatches and difficulties with retention. Through its rental farm service for companies, Work Happiness Farms, S-Pool Plus, Inc. provides workplaces where people with disabilities can work with peace of mind and a sense of purpose. Today, more than 5,200 people are working at these farms, which have achieved a retention rate of 92%.
Opportunities
for younger and inexperienced workers
employment with client firms
S-Pool Human Solutions, Inc. provides Temporary
Staffing Services centered on call centers that
proactively employ young and inexperienced
workers.
Our distinctive group-based temporary staffing
services assign field consultants (FCs) full-time to
the placement destinations to provide thorough
follow-up support that helps boost staff retention
rates. Thanks to the resulting improvements in
staff's skills and service capabilities, some 1,000
temporary employees secure permanent employment with
destination workplaces each year.
Job creation in local communities
As the Japanese government advances various regional
revitalization initiatives, job creation in regional
communities has become an increasingly important issue,
particularly as limited local employment opportunities
can contribute to population outflows.
S-Pool Link, Inc. and S-Pool Glocal, Inc. operate BPO
centers mainly in regional cities with populations of
100,000 or fewer, while also working to collaborate
with local governments. By establishing centers in
areas where clerical job opportunities are limited
and actively hiring local talent, the companies are
creating new employment opportunities in these communities.
Women's
empowerment
at BPO centers
BPO centers are located mainly in shopping malls and other facilities that local residents use in their daily lives. In addition to convenient access, each center is designed with careful attention to its interior, creating a safe and comfortable working environment. As locally rooted workplaces, the BPO centers currently employ more than 400 people in total, with women accounting for over 80% of the workforce.
Leveraging Mid-Career and Senior Talent
S-Pool Bridge, Inc. operates a “Professional
Talent Bank” business that introduces highly
skilled professional talent—ranging from
executives with extensive management experience
to mid-career and senior professionals with
deep expertise in operational practice—according
to the growth stage and challenges of each
company.
More than 14,000 professionals are registered
with the Professional Talent Bank, supporting
over 4,000 companies as management advisors
and specialists in their respective fields,
helping solve business challenges and drive
business growth.
