Adecco Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenji Hirano), the Japanese subsidiary of Adecco Group, a global leader in human resource services, operating under its workforce solutions brand Adecco, has established new facilities in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture: the "Adecco Niigata BPO Center" and "Adecco Niigata Center" (Location: 2-3-6 Bandai, Chuo-ku, Niigata City). The official opening ceremony was held on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
The opening ceremony was attended by distinguished guests including Mr. Kenichi Watanabe, Director-General of the Department of Labor and Industry, representing Niigata Prefectural Governor Hideyo Hanazumi, and Mr. Kazuyoshi Nakahara, Mayor of Niigata City. Through the establishment of the 170-person strong Adecco Niigata BPO Center and Adecco Niigata Center, Adecco aims to promote job creation and expand employment opportunities in Niigata City and throughout the prefecture, while also supporting companies in solving their business challenges.
Niigata Prefecture's total population has been declining since its peak in 1997 (※1), with a continuous net outflow of young people, posing challenges for future human resource acquisition and regional economic sustainability. According to the "2025 Population Movement Report (Basic Resident Register) (※2)" released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Niigata Prefecture experienced a net outflow of 6,379 people (22,120 inbound, 28,499 outbound), with the net outflow showing an increasing trend. In response, the prefecture established the "Niigata Prefectural Council for Population Decrease Problem Measures" in 2025 to share a sense of crisis regarding population decline and promote initiatives with the "all Niigata" approach.
Adecco has positioned contributing to "Regional Revitalization" as one of its growth strategies in its medium-term management plan. As part of this initiative, Adecco has also opened BPO centers in Okinawa Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture. The company has a track record of handling numerous outsourcing projects for private companies, including many large-scale ones, and operates BPO centers in other prefectures such as Tokyo and Osaka. The establishment of the Adecco Niigata BPO Center and Adecco Niigata Center is part of Adecco's strategy to strengthen its business operations in Niigata City and Niigata Prefecture.
Through the opening of these centers, Adecco will work to create jobs and expand employment opportunities within the prefecture. Furthermore, by supporting DX promotion for companies in Niigata City and Niigata Prefecture, enabling them to focus on higher value-added core operations and improve productivity, Adecco aims to contribute to Niigata Prefecture's goal of achieving future "population stabilization" and realizing a sustainable society with strong growth potential.

Mr. Kenichi Watanabe, Director-General of Labor and Industry, Niigata Prefecture (representing the Governor)
"Adecco has accumulated extensive achievements in the human resource services field, making significant contributions to regional economic revitalization and job creation. Furthermore, with their new business strategy towards 2030 emphasizing 'Contribution to Regional Revitalization,' we recognize this center's establishment as a concrete step in that direction.
This center is positioned as a future core base and is expected to play a crucial role in supporting the business activities of companies within the prefecture. As the socio-economic environment undergoes significant change and the importance of securing and developing human resources increases, the prefecture, in collaboration with Niigata City, will support Adecco's initiatives to promote diverse working styles and revitalize the regional economy."
Mr. Kazuyoshi Nakahara, Mayor of Niigata City
"We are extremely pleased that Niigata City has been chosen from among many municipalities for the establishment of these two centers.
Our city is currently branding the downtown area as 'Niigata 2km' and actively working to attract IT companies and create diverse employment opportunities. The opening of these centers is a highly significant initiative for our regional economy.
Moreover, we are greatly encouraged by your evaluation of our city's accessibility from Tokyo, the location within the 'Niigata 2km' area, and the past efforts by the prefecture and city in attracting businesses. With approximately 30,000 students enrolled in universities, junior colleges, and vocational schools within the city, we anticipate that the utilization of this abundant talent pool will lead to further business development."
