Daito Kentaku's Innovative Employee Transfer System

Daito Kentaku Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has announced the introduction of a group transfer system starting May 2026, aimed at all of its approximately 9,000 employees who have been with the company for at least one year. This new initiative is designed to enhance the utilization of employees' specialized skills across various sectors within the Daito Kentaku group to foster a culture of 'human resource circulation.' This strategic move aims to facilitate diverse career development for employees while simultaneously strengthening the overall capabilities of the group.

The transfer system is effectively redefined as a vast career field within the group. Employees will be able to relocate internally to roles that leverage their unique experiences optimally. The process will ensure that job openings at different group companies—ranging from rental brokerage and management to real estate development and care services—are made available on Daito Kentaku's internal website. This allows employees to actively pursue new opportunities at their discretion, creating a supportive environment for proactive career development.

Such a system presents mutual benefits: employees can initiate new challenges without disrupting their career continuity, while the receiving group companies secure immediate talent equipped with foundational knowledge in construction and real estate. Additionally, Daito Kentaku aims to support employees through various measures to ease the transition process, including a transfer allowance to mitigate economic burdens due to environmental changes and the ability to carry over unused paid leave—typically reset during company transfers—and tenure for the recognition of long service.

The company’s President and CEO, Keita Takeuchi, emphasized the goal of establishing a robust organizational foundation that encourages employees to pursue challenging roles throughout their careers. This initiative comes as a response to the intensifying competition for talent amid declining labor forces.

Overview of the Group Employee Transfer System

• - Start Date: May 20, 2026
• - Eligible Employees: All Daito Kentaku employees with more than one year of service.
• - Transfer Opportunities: Positions within group companies involved in rental brokerage, real estate development, and care services, among others.
• - Selection Process: Applicants will submit their interest via the internal site followed by interviews with the receiving company.

The support measures include a transfer allowance of 100,000 yen to alleviate financial stress from transitioning between roles, maintaining accrued paid leave for continued peace of mind during the transfer process, and transferable years of service which aid in uninterrupted career progression.

As Daito Kentaku rolls out this program, it plans to evaluate its effectiveness and may eventually consider 'inter-company exchanges' as a further enhancement. By promoting diverse career pathways throughout the group, Daito Kentaku strives to create an environment where employees can continue to explore and grow professionally throughout their lives.
