NEWONE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shuhei Kaminashi; https://new-one.co.jp/; hereinafter, NEWONE), a leading organizational development and human resource training consulting firm focused on improving engagement and fostering "workplaces people can recommend," announced that it welcomed LifeWorks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter, LifeWorks), which specializes in career self-reliance support primarily for middle and senior generations, into its group on April 1, 2026.
Ikuko Umemoto, who served as Representative Director of LifeWorks, assumed the role of advisor on the same date and will leverage her accumulated knowledge to enhance the overall value of the group.
Background
NEWONE has consistently advocated for "engagement for everyone to thrive," working to transform organizations through engagement improvement, thereby fostering individual awareness change and enhancing relationships.
On the other hand, in many corporate settings, initiatives such as developing young talent, transforming managers, and implementing measures for middle and senior employees are often carried out in isolation, leading to fragmentation. As a result, these efforts remain partially optimized and fail to contribute to overall organizational change or results.
LifeWorks has over 25 years of experience in providing career self-reliance support, primarily for middle and senior generations, possessing extensive achievements and knowledge in long-term career formation and adaptation to role changes.
Through this integration, NEWONE's strength in supporting young to middle generations will be combined with LifeWorks' accumulated expertise in supporting middle and senior generations, establishing a consistent support system across all career stages. Furthermore, this collaboration extends beyond expanding age demographics; it is an initiative to support diverse work styles tailored to various values and life stages. It will contribute to creating an environment where diverse talent can thrive, including promoting women's empowerment, career breaks and redesign, and work styles adapted to individual circumstances.
Moving forward, by combining the knowledge of both companies, we will support both sustainable corporate growth and the fulfillment of individual careers.
Comment from the Representative Director
This group integration is a decision to realize our brand promise, "Engagement for everyone to thrive," in a more effective way. Until now, NEWONE has approached individual and organizational relationships through organizational transformation centered on engagement improvement. LifeWorks, on the other hand, has addressed organizational challenges through individual career self-reliance support, primarily for middle and senior generations. By combining the knowledge of both companies, we will be able to provide integrated support where individuals and organizations change in conjunction, not in isolation. Going forward, we will present a consistent approach to human resource development from young to senior generations, contributing to both sustainable corporate growth and individual success.
Additionally, we will leverage the knowledge of Ms. Umemoto, who has led LifeWorks, to deliver more essential value.
