Collaborative Efforts to Enhance Izu Oshima

PERSOL Tempstaff, a leading comprehensive human resources service provider, is embarking on a new initiative with Frontier Consulting aimed at revitalizing the region of Izu Oshima, located in Tokyo. This collaboration, formalized through a memorandum signed on January 1, 2026, focuses on supporting the promotion of residence and entrepreneurship within this picturesque island community.

Goals for Regional Revitalization

The partnership between PERSOL Tempstaff and Frontier Consulting aims to tackle various challenges facing Izu Oshima. These challenges include population return, enhancing connections between local businesses and external corporations, and fostering a robust foundation for those looking to establish residency on the island.

Both companies recognize the high aspirations among residents for migration and industrial promotion, but also the difficulties concerning job availability and the retention of skilled workers in the area. Hence, this initiative is not just about creating jobs but also about building a sustainable business ecosystem that encourages people to settle in the region.

Introduction of Remote Tasker

To address these issues, PERSOL Tempstaff will deploy its innovative online outsourcing service called Remote Tasker. This platform provides businesses with the flexibility to outsource various tasks as needed, solving problems related to workforce shortages and operational efficiency.

By connecting local entrepreneurs with a talent pool that possesses the necessary skills and experiences, the Remote Tasker service allows seamless communication and project management. This enables local businesses to grow while simultaneously providing assurance for potential residents looking to work on the island. Remote Tasker can be implemented quickly, often in as little as a week, and can be utilized for as few as 20 hours per month, making it a valuable asset for many businesses.

WELAGO: A Hub for Innovation

The Izu-Oshima Co-Working Lab WELAGO, launched on May 18, 2023, serves as the central hub for this collaboration. Located on Izu Oshima, approximately 120 km south of Tokyo, WELAGO offers not only a coworking space but also a laboratory environment for innovation and creativity. Here, local entrepreneurs and remote workers can come together to foster a community centered on growth and collaboration.

The continuing expansion of WELAGO has allowed PERSOL Tempstaff and Frontier Consulting to promote various initiatives focusing on regional revitalization, the generation of relationships between residents and external businesses, and the establishment of sustainable working models.

The Vision for the Future

Izu Oshima Town has expressed strong support for the partnership, highlighting the importance of diversifying working styles to catalyze economic growth on the island. The town expects this initiative will create a flourishing environment where connections formed through work lead to new opportunities and communal ties.

Moving forward, Frontier Consulting plans to bolster the support frameworks available at WELAGO to help local businesses and startups thrive. PERSOL Tempstaff will continue to leverage the Remote Tasker service to ensure aspiring residents find a secure and welcoming environment to work in, thus contributing to the realization of their vision: “Let’s work and smile together.”

In conclusion, this collaborative effort stands to uplift Izu Oshima by creating a sustainable and vibrant community for both residents and entrepreneurs, ensuring its growth far into the future.
