Representative Director Satoshi Kawaguchi
Kawaguchi established the Company in 2013 and has since developed website creation, outsourcing services supporting regional companies with 'sales' and 'recruitment' challenges, human resources placement, and regional revitalization consulting. As a father of three, he actively participates in household chores in the mornings and evenings on weekdays and transports his children to extracurricular activities, embodying a work-life balance approach.
In this interview, he will answer students' questions, not only sharing his views on career development as a business owner and work-life balance, but also explaining specific strategies for balancing work and family. He intends to encourage students who aspire to build a career with passion and provide tips useful for designing their own lives.
Comment from Satoshi Kawaguchi, Representative Director of the Company:
Representative Director Satoshi Kawaguchi stated: "In rural areas, there are still few examples of male business owners dedicating time to housework and childcare, and I feel that students lack sufficient reference material when envisioning their future. This time, I will speak as concretely as possible, including examples of when I failed to balance things well. Several members of our staff are also raising children or caring for elderly family members, and I want to convey, from a practical perspective, the extent to which task design to avoid over-reliance on individuals and flexible working hours can be implemented. I also hope that by frankly sharing our company culture, where all employees support each other, it will help students envision their own careers."
