Background of the Exhibition

So far, the employment of people with disabilities has been a major theme as a social responsibility of companies to "meet the legal employment rate." However, in recent years, discussions have become active on what kind of work the employed person engages in, how they demonstrate their abilities, and how they contribute to corporate activities. Ahead of the raise of the legal employment rate to 2.7% on July 1, 2026, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare issued a guideline in February of the same year that the employment of people with disabilities in Japan is shifting from the achievement of "legal employment rate (quantity)" to the improvement of "employment quality (job satisfaction, empowerment, retention)" that makes the most of each person's characteristics (*1).

So-called "disability employment agency business" has been pointed out to have issues such as the ease of disconnecting the workplace and job content from the business activities of the using company, the tendency for daily contact between workers and the using company to be lacking, and the difficulty in leading to career development and the demonstration of abilities. However, what is required of companies from now on is not just securing the number of employees, but the creation of a system where employees with disabilities can have roles within the company, achieve results, and actively participate as members of the organization.

Since its inception, Sōgō Career Trust has been working on creating a system to activate people with disabilities as a force for companies and businesses. One of them is the "Social OfficeⓇ," a service that constructs and operates an environment where people with disabilities can cultivate their "ability to work" and demonstrate value as members of the organization while reducing the burden on companies. With the philosophy of Sōgō Career Trust and the government's guidelines now aligned, we will further accelerate the support for improving the quality of employment for people with disabilities.

What is Social OfficeⓇ?

Social Office is a system that constructs a specialized team "Social Office Team" for employees with disabilities within the company and provides operational know-how while working with the company to create a workplace. More than 100 companies in various industries such as manufacturing, medical, and education are utilizing it.

[Main Features]

1. Consistent support from recruitment to retention

In the employment of people with disabilities, it is important to "what tasks to assign," "how to follow up," and "how to lead to retention" beyond recruitment. Social Office consistently supports recruitment, task extraction, team building, daily task management, mental follow-up, and retention.

2. Realization of contributions to corporate activities through the extraction of in-house tasks

Extract tasks such as clerical work and routine tasks within the company, and tasks scattered among various departments, and have the Social Office Team handle them collectively. This not only allows employees with disabilities to actively participate in the company's tasks but also makes it easier for existing employees to focus on core tasks, leading to improved productivity throughout the organization.

3. Reduction of on-site anxiety through the constant presence of dedicated staff

Dedicated staff are stationed at the workplace and daily support the task execution and physical condition of employees with disabilities. By having staff with specialized knowledge support aspects that are difficult to handle on-site, such as communication after recruitment, task instructions, and responses to considerations, the burden on human resources personnel and assigned departments is reduced.

4. Operational know-how that supports high retention rates

Social Office has achieved an annual retention rate of 88% or higher at introducing companies (*2).

By designing tasks according to the characteristics of disabilities, daily interviews, collaboration with support agencies, and systematization of team management, stable employment continuity is supported.
