Enfactory Collaborates with Kyushu Bureau to Support Local SMEs Through Workshops and Online Resources

Enfactory, a company focused on supporting the growth of businesses and talent through cross-border learning, has announced its participation in a significant project orchestrated by the Kyushu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). This initiative, which falls under the "Fiscal Year 8 Regional SMEs Human Resource Securement Support Survey and Analysis Project," aims to investigate and analyze the realities and challenges faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Kyushu region. By forging model companies and forming regional networks, the project strives to foster a management culture that derives growth from utilizing human resources effectively.

As part of this project, Enfactory will be responsible for various tasks, including the creation of a dedicated website, writing event reports covering six sessions, and facilitating workshops that enable participants to engage actively in dialogued discussions about organizational transformation and enhancing human resource capacities regionally. The first event is scheduled for September 11, 2026, in Hioki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, where Enfactory's own Shimazaki will lead a workshop catered to practitioners and support organizations. This workshop will focus on supporting the transition of medium-sized and small enterprises in Kyushu towards a management style that values individual contributions and improving the region’s capability to secure talent.

To provide further insights into the initiative, let’s delve into what the "Regional SMEs Human Resource Securement Support Survey and Analysis Project" entails. The project's primary goal is to explore the challenges that SMEs face in securing and utilizing their human resources. It aims to encourage practical management that supports growth through established models and regional networks. For the 8th fiscal year, Persol Tempstaff Co., Ltd. has been designated as the contracting entity, with Enfactory joining as a collaborative partner.

As the workforce landscape changes, persistent labor shortages have emerged as a pressing issue. To sustain growth, it is essential for companies to build organizations that go beyond merely addressing short-term staffing shortages. Embracing a culture where every individual can excel and contributing to a community that attracts talent is crucial for transformation.

The project titled "Organizational Management Reform Caravan: Enhancing Individual Contributions" will be implemented through six sessions across various locations in Kyushu. The aim is to foster changes in awareness and actions of business leaders and local stakeholders, articulating a shared vision for the region's future through dialogue and ultimately leading to collective action.

Enfactory's role will capitalize on its extensive experience in cross-border learning and organizational transformation support, engaging in the following activities:

1. Creation of the Dedicated Website: A tailored website will be established to serve as a platform for disseminating information about this initiative and the efforts being made by businesses and communities across the region. You can visit the site here: Kyushu HR Project.

2. Writing Event Reports: The energy and outcomes from the statewide caravan will be documented through written reports. These reports will capture the essence of the workshops and the pledges made towards community-driven initiatives based on shared experiences and knowledge.

3. Facilitation of Seminars and Workshops: Enfactory team members will take on the role of facilitators during workshops where stakeholders can deepen their discussions regarding transformations within their companies and their communities.
