Message from Management

As companies throughout Japan face new challenges, competition in the staffing services is intensifying. Concurrently, the importance of staffing services continues to grow as Japan’s labor force shrinks due to the low birthrate and graying of society.

Amid this environment and with the goal of further expanding business, we launched Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. — a joint holding company — on October 1, 2008 by merging Tempstaff and People Staff. Through this merger, we are combining People Staff’s solid foundation in the Tokai region with Tempstaff’s national network to form a business platform that extends to all regions in Japan.

Temp Holdings will strive to raise customer satisfaction and improve management efficiency in order to realize maximum corporate value, creating a new synergy and allowing us to share our business know-how throughout the group.Temp Holdings will seek to become a staffing services company representing Asia through global expansion and continued growth of both our staffing business (an area in which we have years of experience) and our placement and outsourcing businesses.

At the same time, Temp Holdings aims to improve its corporate value by pursuing healthy earnings growth and solidifying our financial standing. In addition, we will ensure that compliance-oriented management is practiced throughout the company.

Temp Holdings’ corporate philosophy can be expressed as “Creating Jobs, Adding Value to the Individual, and Contributing to Society.”<

We firmly believe that our business — creating new employment by bringing together jobseekers and client-customers — is tied to corporate social responsibility, a perspective that seeks to build a better society.

Also, Temp Holdings understands the importance of activities that contribute to society. We promote employment for the physically challenged, provide scholarships for overseas study, and assist in efforts to balance childrearing and homemaking. Through these initiatives, we support personal growth and expand employment opportunities for a broad range of people.

“For individuals, for businesses, for society.”

This is in essence our raison d'être, and also indicates the path we have chosen to get where we are today.

We will continue to contribute to the betterment of society by increasing employment opportunities for people who want to work, and by being the best possible partner for companies that require human resources.

I first learned of staffing services when I found work in Australia 35 years ago. Later, I founded Tempstaff because I knew that women would soon become more active in the Japanese workforce, and I wanted to create opportunities for them. Knowing that both jobseekers and companies seeking employees require staffing services — and that there are people who need the services I provide — gives us a true appreciation of our own worth and serves to support and motivate us as we develop our business. Many people desire to work, and they wish to gain satisfaction and a feeling of achievement through their jobs. Working provides us with an opportunity to broaden our knowledge; indeed, all aspects of work — including success and failure — provide seeds for personal growth.

We believe that by offering staffing services, thereby creating jobs that give people opportunities to fulfill their dreams and find happiness through work, helps add value to the individual and, by extension, contributes to society as a whole.

As Temp Holdings prepares to take its business into the future, I sincerely ask for your continued support.
