PERSOL Group Sponsors "Pride Action30"

The PERSOL Group, operating under the group vision "Work, and Smile," announces that PERSOL HOLDINGS, PERSOL TEMPSTAFF, PERSOL CAREER, and PERSOL COMMUNICATION SERVICE will sponsor "Pride Action30." This project aims to advance efforts in creating a more inclusive work environment for LGBTQ+ individuals and other minorities during Pride Month.

"Pride Action30" is a collaborative initiative organized by Panasonic Connect Co., Ltd. and the NPO Pride House Tokyo. It brings together over 100 companies and organizations during June, the "Pride Month," which is dedicated to eliminating discrimination and prejudice against sexual minorities and respecting diverse lifestyles. Starting June 1, 2026, the project will present 30 actions to demonstrate understanding and support for the LGBTQ+ community, providing a "trigger for everyone to learn together" about what specific steps can be taken.

PERSOL Group decided to sponsor the initiative, agreeing with the vision of "advancing a better work environment for LGBTQ+ and many minority individuals, leading to a better society, by delivering voices of understanding and support from companies." PERSOL Group will continue to support everyone through "work," aiming for a future where each person can shine.

PERSOL Group's Initiatives for Sexual Minorities including LGBTQ+

Since 2019, PERSOL Group has promoted Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) policies. Initiatives include the launch of an internal LGBTQ+ ally community and the advance introduction of welfare systems for de facto and same-sex partnerships in some group companies. The group has also introduced optional gender registration for service users (PERSOL DIVERS, PERSOL CAREER), offered free access to training materials on LGBTQ+, and conducted various events and seminars.

Furthermore, in April 2025, the group expanded internal systems and support for LGBTQ+ employees across the entire group. By expanding the list of companies introducing welfare systems for same-sex partnerships, allowing the use of names different from official family registry names, and establishing specialized consultation desks for LGBTQ+, the group aims to realize a society where everyone, whether they are a sexual minority or not, can truly experience "Work, and Smile."

Additionally, in the "PRIDE Index 2025," which evaluates LGBTQ+ initiatives, PERSOL DIVERS received Gold (for the 6th consecutive year), PERSOL CAREER received Silver, and both PERSOL HOLDINGS and PERSOL TEMPSTAFF received Bronze.
