Sigma Logistics Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) and Sigma Vending Service Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Omiya-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture), which provide comprehensive logistics services including manufacturing, transport, distribution, and warehouse management centered on beverages, held an induction ceremony for six Indonesian employees under the 'Specified Skilled Worker' transport industry program on May 18, 2026.
In preparation for accepting these Indonesian employees, representatives including the president visited Indonesia to engage in direct dialogues and interviews, and to deepen their understanding of Indonesian culture and customs. After onboarding, the companies plan to provide phased support from the perspectives of 'systems, management, and culture,' prioritizing coexistence and retention so that the employees can quickly adapt to working and living in Japan.
These employees will be assigned to delivery operations for soft drinks to general retail stores. Since the client base is diverse, communication with customers at delivery locations is crucial. Therefore, the company has introduced an online Japanese language learning tool (e-learning system) to provide a language program. Furthermore, regarding the acquisition of a driving license, the company determined that simple license conversion is insufficient for mastering Japanese traffic laws and driving techniques. Instead, the employees will enroll in an affiliated boarding driving school to acquire a Japanese medium-sized vehicle license and forklift operator certificate from scratch, just like Japanese drivers.
Assignment is scheduled for around July. To promote understanding among current employees, the company has created an original 'Multicultural Coexistence Guidebook,' which will be distributed to staff along with pre-assignment training. The company aims to create a safe and comfortable working environment that transcends national and cultural differences, fostering mutual respect.
