Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to express dreams. This press release is a dream of "WorkX Inc."
WorkX Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tomoharu Higashino; hereinafter "WorkX") aims to improve Japan's productivity with the vision of "Transforming into a Professional Economy."
## ■ Japan's Stagnant Societal Productivity
The Japanese economy has been stagnant for 30 years with a flat GDP. Furthermore, its productivity has been the lowest among the G7 nations for 50 consecutive years, a critically serious situation.
Japan has numerous talented individuals. Nevertheless, one of the reasons it cannot compete globally is the "low talent mobility." Traditional employment practices such as the seniority system, lifetime employment, and strict dismissal regulations hinder companies from flexibly replacing talent and promoting organizational metabolism.
## ■ Aiming to Improve Japan's Productivity
We believe that specialized fields are currently becoming more fragmented due to the evolution of IT and other factors. For example, even within "marketing," the expertise required for TV commercials differs from that for SNS operations.
Various tasks arise in corporate activities, but it has become difficult to secure specialized personnel for each field as full-time employees.
In this situation, WorkX solves the shortage of specialized talent by carefully selecting and assigning professional talent with pinpoint expertise for corporate challenges from over 8,000 high-class freelancers registered on its platform.
Furthermore, by providing medium- to long-term support from its own consultants, WorkX can address management challenges and flexibly deploy talent with specialized knowledge in specific areas to meet evolving corporate challenges at each phase.
## ■ Basis and Mechanism for Improving Productivity
When challenges faced by companies are handled by "professionals in that field" who have already solved similar problems in other projects, the speed and quality of problem-solving dramatically increase. It's a matter of course that someone who has done it before will progress faster than an inexperienced person trying to figure things out through trial and error.
WorkX aims for a world where professionals are flexibly assigned to the right places at the right time, a "transformation into a professional economy." By doing so, we believe that projects will succeed, leading to corporate growth and contributing to the overall productivity improvement of Japanese society.
To understand how this transformation will be achieved, please watch our branding movie, which condenses this vision into one film.
