TSUMUGU WORKS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mitsuhiro Ohara), which develops employment support and back-office outsourcing businesses for single mothers, has released its '2026 Impact Report,' visualizing the impact of its business on society with both quantitative and qualitative data.
## Background of the Impact Report Creation
The poverty rate of single-parent households in Japan is at a high level among developed countries, and many employment support projects exist as a solution.
However, there is a major issue where talented individuals who are willing to work are being overlooked, with single mothers often being passed over for full-time employment due to time constraints.
Through his activities in NPOs and other organizations, CEO Ohara believes that 'a stable economic independence and time affluence for parents are essential for an environment where children can be raised with peace of mind.' Therefore, he first aimed to visualize the latent potential of single mothers and created the impact report.
## Impact Report Data
This report measures short, medium, and long-term social impacts based on a logic model.
We extracted the following data as initial impacts from the single mothers employed at Tsumugu Works.
Tsumugu Works actively utilizes IT tools and cloud services to enable fully remote work, promoting efficiency and realizing a fair compensation system.
Furthermore, the introduction of fully remote work has eliminated commuting time, creating more free time.
The report presented, with concrete examples, that a latent pool of talented individuals in fields such as sales and accounting can become an indispensable workforce for companies if only the time constraints are cleared.
