Global Trust Networks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroyuki Goto; hereinafter 'GTN'), which provides housing, employment, and lifestyle support services for foreigners, announced that Sushi Bomber Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Sushi Bomber'), which has strengths in pre-arrival education and human resource placement for specified skilled foreign workers overseas, has joined the group.
With this partnership, we will build a system that seamlessly supports excellent foreign talent from 'recruitment to retention', covering everything from overseas education and talent placement to building a living foundation and providing retention support in Japan.
Establishing a seamless support system for top talent from 'recruitment to retention' by integrating unique training know-how and lifestyle support
Through this group integration, we will combine the strengths of GTN's lifestyle support services for foreigners, developed over 20 years, with Sushi Bomber's expertise in overseas education and dispatch support, building a comprehensive support system from the reception to the retention of foreign workers.
Specifically, by closely linking Sushi Bomber's practical talent development through uniquely customized Japanese language education, vocational training, and Japanese culture/manners education deployed overseas, with GTN's lifestyle foundation setup support in Japan—including housing, telecommunications, finance, and medical care—we will proceed to create a secure reception environment for both foreign talent and companies.
As a result, companies can expect a reduced burden associated with accepting foreign workers and improved retention rates, while foreign workers can be provided with an environment where they can live and work in Japan with peace of mind.
High-quality support focused on retention is needed as the acceptance of foreign talent expands
In Japan, as the declining birthrate and aging population progress, labor shortages have become severe in many industries, and expectations for the active participation of foreign workers are higher than ever. About seven years have passed since the launch of the Specified Skilled Worker system in April 2019, and along with the expansion of acceptance, the number of registered support organizations has grown to approximately 11,000 (*1), giving rise to diverse support know-how and initiatives. On the other hand, there are differences in the knowledge and experience accumulated by each registered support organization, and exploring more effective support models while leveraging each's strengths has become an important theme for the entire industry moving forward. Furthermore, about 1 in 4 Type 1 Specified Skilled foreign workers experience a job change, and about half of them change jobs less than a year after starting employment (*2), indicating a need for continuous support and retention promotion efforts throughout the pre- and post-acceptance phases.
Fusing Sushi Bomber's track record of educating and placing approximately 3,600 people locally with GTN's retention support. Building a system where excellent foreign talent can thrive long-term
Against this backdrop, GTN will collaborate with Sushi Bomber, which has an industry-leading track record, to build a more highly effective support model based on knowledge cultivated through practical operations.
Sushi Bomber has a unique educational system in overseas locations including Indonesia, Myanmar, and Nepal, and has accumulated a track record of educating and placing approximately 3,600 people and providing registered support for about 2,700 people (*3). The company's strength lies in its 'pre-arrival education,' which deeply instills an understanding of the Japanese work environment and lifestyle habits in advance. Understanding the Japanese work environment and customs prior to entry is a critical element in preventing post-employment mismatches and early turnover.
By combining Sushi Bomber's 'talent education and supply capability' with GTN's 'lifestyle setup and retention support capability,' we will ensure consistent high-quality support from pre-arrival to post-arrival, realizing stable employment that prevents talent mismatches and early turnover.
As a future outlook, we aim to open up the know-how and knowledge cultivated through these initiatives as shared assets for the entire industry, rather than keeping them closed within our own group. Together with many partner companies and support organizations, we will foster an environment that further elevates the quality of foreign talent support, contributing to the realization of a society where both foreigners and receiving companies can feel truly secure.
