Tokuty Partners with Saga Bank to Combat Labor Shortages

Tokuty Inc., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo and represented by CEO Naosuke Sugihara, has announced a strategic collaboration with Saga Bank, based in Saga City, to tackle the pressing issue of labor shortages faced by regional businesses. This partnership marks a significant step towards providing sustainable support to companies struggling with workforce constraints.

Background of the Partnership

The ongoing decline in labor population has been a critical challenge for many businesses not just in Saga, but across the Kyushu region. The issue of labor shortages has emerged as a significant obstacle to sustainable growth for companies in these areas. Saga Bank has been enhancing its comprehensive consulting capabilities as a regional financial institution, actively engaging in resolving the diverse challenges faced by its client companies beyond just financial assistance.

Nationally, labor shortages have continued to escalate, particularly impacting industries such as construction, food manufacturing, industrial manufacturing, hospitality, logistics, and caregiving. These sectors require immediate access to capable personnel, making the recruitment of specialized foreign workers a vital solution that garners significant attention.

In light of this context, Tokuty has decided to offer its innovative matching platform, 'tokuty', to the clientele of Saga Bank that is grappling with workforce shortages. Through this collaboration, both companies aim to provide robust support for talent acquisition, ultimately contributing to the development of a sustainable regional economy and revitalizing local communities.

CEO Sugihara expressed, "We are honored to establish this customer introduction agreement with Saga Bank. Given the severe labor shortages faced by small to medium-sized and mid-tier companies within Saga and the wider Kyushu area, we are committed to leverage our expertise in recruiting and retaining foreign talent. Our goal is to facilitate optimal matching to strongly support their growth. By providing consistent assistance from the hiring process through to employee performance, we aspire to contribute to the further development of the Saga and Kyushu economies through our unified efforts."
