Message from the Representative Director

Labour shortages are now a management issue in their own right for many small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, many young people overseas hope to learn skills in Japan and open up a future for themselves and their families. Our work is to connect the two, properly and in line with the system.

In founding the cooperative, I took my bearings from the management philosophy of Kazuo Inamori: to decide by “what is right as a human being”, and to serve others before oneself with an altruistic heart. Accepting foreign workers is work that places someone's life in our hands. That is why we must always put what is right ahead of profit and loss, and the other person's happiness ahead of our own convenience.

The name “Wasei” carries that wish. “Wa” means people caring for one another across differences of nationality and position; “Sei” means members, the foreign workers who work here and their families all prospering together. Rather than one company or one person alone growing wealthy, we seek the material and spiritual happiness of everyone involved.

In 2027, the Employment for Skill Development system will come into force, and the acceptance of foreign workers will reach a major turning point. The system may change; our stance will not. “Is the motive good? Is it free of self-interest?” We ask ourselves this each day, bringing peace of mind to hiring companies and opportunities for growth to foreign workers. We sincerely ask for your continued support.
