"Welfare Company Housing" Attracts Attention as a Real Take-Home Pay Booster. Benefit One and Libero Start Offering Free Housing Management Fees (500 yen/month per unit) to Approximately 21,600 Organizations Using Benefit Station

Benefit One Inc. (President and CEO: Kazuyuki Hanyu, hereinafter "Benefit One") has partnered with Libero Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hidetoshi Kashima, hereinafter "Libero"), a company operating a new lifestyle service platform. Together, they will launch a new initiative to eliminate the management fees for "Welfare Company Housing" and "Relocation Housing"—measures gaining attention as real take-home pay boosters—for companies that have introduced Benefit One's comprehensive welfare service "Benefit Station" (approximately 21,600 organizations, approximately 13.5 million members*1).*2

In recent years, against the backdrop of rising prices and intensified competition for talent, companies are required to balance "wage increases" and "enhanced benefits." At the same time, controlling fixed costs and improving productivity remain critical management challenges. In this context, both companies are working to promote "Welfare Company Housing"*3 as a new welfare model that simultaneously improves employee satisfaction, supports employee retention, and optimizes corporate costs.

■ "Welfare Company Housing" Attracts Attention as a Real Take-Home Pay Booster

Welfare company housing is a benefit system where an employee's personally contracted residence is switched to a corporate contract, and a portion of the rent is deducted from the salary under certain conditions. This leads to a real improvement in take-home pay by reducing the employee's social insurance burden and also helps optimize the company's statutory welfare costs. As a result, it has been regaining attention in recent years as a measure that can directly support employees' lives amid high prices.

On the other hand, the operational burden of system design, contract changes, and housing management often becomes a barrier to introduction. Libero provides one-stop support from system design and introduction to operation and housing management. In particular, the workload of "housing management" tends to become a source of ongoing operational costs and reliance on specific individuals after introduction, making it one of the biggest bottlenecks in the spread of welfare company housing.

This initiative aims to reduce the operational burden on companies introducing either welfare company housing or relocation housing by making these housing management costs free for Benefit Station member companies.

■ From "Providing" Benefits to "Implementing" Them: Benefit One and Libero Collaborate

In this initiative, Benefit One, which provides the comprehensive welfare service "Benefit Station," and Libero, which provides one-stop support for introducing welfare company housing as well as property search, moving arrangements, and housing management for relocations, are joining forces.

As demand grows not only for enhancing welfare systems but also for "building a system to actually operate the system" and "cost optimization through welfare," both companies are strengthening their support structure to go beyond just "introducing" welfare systems to also supporting their "implementation and operation." They aim to promote a new welfare model that supports improving employee satisfaction, retaining talent, and optimizing corporate fixed costs.

■ Exclusive to Benefit Station Companies: Housing Management Fees for Welfare and Relocation Housing Reduced to "0 Yen"

When promoting the use of welfare systems, reducing the daily operational burden is just as important as system design. Especially for companies with employee relocations, multiple tasks such as property search, moving arrangements, and housing management arise, leading to increased workload and reliance on specific individuals in the general affairs and human resources departments.

To address these challenges, Benefit One and Libero will now provide the monthly housing management fees for welfare company housing and relocation housing services offered by Libero free of charge to companies that have introduced Benefit One's comprehensive welfare service "Benefit Station."

【Service Details】

For companies that consolidate the following services related to relocations with Libero, the housing management fee for welfare company housing and relocation housing (500 yen/month per unit) will be provided free of charge (*).

*The monthly fee of 500 yen per unit becomes free when conditions such as consolidated use of property search, moving arrangements, and housing management are met. The discount will be revoked upon termination of the Benefit Station membership contract or other specified events. Please contact the sales representative for details.

The target services are as follows:

- Property Search: Property search in line with company regulations using a nationwide network of approximately 3,000 stores.
- Moving Arrangements: Obtain quotes from multiple companies with a single registration of moving information.
- Housing Management: Outsourcing of contract, renewal, and termination procedures.
- Lifeline Arrangements: Consolidated arrangement of services related to the new life, such as internet, electricity, gas, and water servers.

This initiative allows companies to not only centralize all relocation-related tasks into a single point of contact but also simultaneously achieve fixed cost reduction and improved efficiency for their general affairs departments. Furthermore, the funds saved by reducing housing management costs can be reinvested into expanding welfare benefits or measures to return value to employees.

■ Start of "Real Take-Home Pay Increase" & "Cost Reduction" Simulations

Libero is now offering free simulations to estimate the effects of introducing welfare company housing and to calculate the reduction in relocation housing management costs.

"How much cost reduction is possible for our company?"

"What effects can be expected from introducing welfare company housing?"

They will listen to your company's current operational status and propose an estimate of the reduction amount and a roadmap for system transition within a minimum of one week. Please feel free to contact us for inquiries and consultations using the form below.

Please note that this initiative is a special benefit exclusively for companies that have introduced Benefit Station. Please mention this in the summary field when making an inquiry.

■ Future Outlook: Transforming Welfare from a "Cost" to an "Investment"

Libero and Benefit One position this initiative as the first step towards realizing a "new standard for welfare."

By providing one-stop support not just for offering welfare systems but also for their on-site introduction and implementation, we will reduce companies' fixed costs and channel those funds into improving employee satisfaction. We will redefine welfare as an "investment" rather than a "cost," contributing to the improved competitiveness of Japanese companies and a richer life for working people.
