Joyzo Inc., an SI company specializing in kintone (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasutaka Shinomiya), announces the launch of its new 'HR & Labor System' for municipal governments on June 5, 2026, as part of the 'Jichitai39' package.

This system is a packaged solution that centralizes peripheral HR tasks—such as 'self-declaration forms' and 'health check preference surveys'—for all employees via a dedicated employee portal. By integrating frontline insights from former municipal staff with over 20 years of administrative experience and Joyzo’s SI expertise, the system unifies digital access for all employees, including those who do not regularly use PCs. It liberates HR departments from massive manual workloads and strongly supports sustainable internal DX and work-style reforms.

Development Background: Severe Staff Shortages and the New Municipal DX Guidelines Calling for 'BPR of Peripheral Tasks'

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' '2025 Survey on Personnel Management in Local Public Entities,' the total number of local public servants remains stagnant. Municipalities urgently need to address 'labor shortages,' 'task personalization,' and improve work styles and efficiency with limited personnel.

In this context, the Ministry revised the 'Municipal DX Promotion Plan (Version 5.1)' and the 'Comprehensive Municipal DX Procedure Manual' in January 2026. While promoting standardization of core systems for 20 major operations, it emphasizes 'BPR (Business Process Reengineering)' to fundamentally reevaluate analog peripheral processes left behind.

However, in many municipalities today, although core systems like payroll are in place, niche analog tasks remain—such as 'printing, distributing, collecting, and following up on annual self-declaration forms from all employees' or 'aggregating health check preferences via spreadsheet email chains.' These tasks have become a significant burden on HR departments.

Responding to frontline demands—'Major core system overhauls require enormous costs and time, but we need to quickly improve current analog procedures in line with national policy'—this system was developed to seamlessly complement existing core systems and enable affordable, small-scale implementation.

Four Key Benefits of the 'HR & Labor System'

By building a dedicated employee portal and consolidating all HR and labor procedures into a single entry point, the system immediately improves efficiency for both HR departments and all employees.

1. Accessible to All Employees via PC or Smartphone: Unified Digital Window Even field staff who rarely use IT tools daily can access the dedicated portal through their familiar browser. The system enables simple online submission of self-declaration forms and health check applications, ensuring no employee is left behind.

2. Paperless Completion: Eliminate HR's 'Distribution, Collection, and Data Entry' Applications previously handled on paper or spreadsheets are now completed online. All administrative tasks—printing forms, distributing to all staff, collecting responses, and manual data entry—are eliminated. Data is automatically aggregated into kintone applications, enabling real-time centralized progress tracking.

3. Reduce Inquiries: Employees Can Check Their Past Application History Employees can self-verify the content of their past self-declaration forms and current application statuses anytime via the portal. This dramatically reduces individual inquiries to HR, such as 'I want to check last year’s submission,' lightening the workload for both parties.

4. Add Custom Application Menus: Scalable to Fit Your Municipality Leveraging kintone’s extensibility, custom menus can be freely added to the portal interface later. Municipalities can gradually consolidate analog processes—such as 'employee mutual aid and welfare applications (membership forms, various congratulatory payments)' or 'training enrollment and reports'—into this single portal, growing it into a unified platform.
