- 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
While amendments to the Act on Employment Promotion
etc. of Persons with Disabilities have increased
corporate incentives to employ those with
disabilities, the reality is that it can be
difficult to integrate those with disabilities into
particular portions of core workflows and to retain
them.
Under such conditions, S-Pool Plus, Inc. supports
vocational independence for those with disabilities,
through its rental farms for companies, Work
Happiness Farms, where they can pursue rewarding
work in a positive atmosphere. To date, these farms
have employed more than 4,900 people and have 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
Today, with various government-led measures underway
to promote community revitalization, low employment
creation has been identified as a major contributor
to the issue of population outflows from provincial
areas.
Working with government efforts, S-Pool Link, Inc.
and S-Pool Glocal, Inc. operate BPO centers mainly
in provincial cities with populations of 100,000 or
fewer. By opening facilities in communities with low
rates of administrative personnel recruitment and
actively hiring local human resources.
Women's
empowerment
at BPO centers
BPO centers are located chiefly inside shopping
centers, where numerous local residents congregate.
By focusing not just on convenience but on interior
design, they maintain comfortable working
environments for women.
The BPO centres currently employ over 380 female
employees, with women accounting for 80% of the
total workforce.
Employment of seniors
in our Professional Talent Bank
S-Pool is also expanding its Professional Talent
Bank business, which features a pool of senior
citizens who have reached mandatory retirement age
but who offer high levels of specialized expertise,
as well as networks of contacts they can draw on to
help businesses meet their respective challenges.
From highly experienced executives to middle
managers offering a wealth of experience in the
field, more than 14,000 professionals have
registered with our Professional Talent Bank and
currently serve in advisory and practical
operational roles with more than 4,000 companies.
