Launching 'Shonan Work Culture WEB'

Starting April 30, a new web platform titled 'Shonan Work Culture WEB' by 'Shonan Style Magazine' will be introduced. This innovative online media aims to showcase unique work styles synonymous with the Shonan area, facilitating the perfect match for job seekers and employers alike. Currently, the website isn't available for viewing, but anticipation is building as the launch date approaches.

'Shonan Style Magazine' has been a staple publication since its inception in 1998, reaching its 27th anniversary this year. It has pioneered the lifestyle magazine category, covering a diverse range of topics from local living, gourmet food, activities, entertainment, cultural insights, education, and discussions on sustainable development goals (SDGs). The magazine serves as a beacon to highlight various content that reflects the charm of Shonan.

However, along with promoting its attractions, the publication has also spotlighted pressing challenges faced by the region. In 2024, it is projected that over 300 companies nationwide will suffer from labor shortages, leading to a concerning increase in bankruptcies. In Shonan, businesses are grappling with difficulties in securing employees, resulting in deteriorating service quality and declining sales — an unfavorable spiral that has been evident in the community. Through its series 'Working in Shonan,' the magazine has addressed the challenges faced by local business owners, but it realizes that many cannot be solved through print media alone. Hence, the decision arose to create this web media platform, focusing on delivering greater support to local entrepreneurs.

This platform will feature various job opportunities and highlight individuals thriving in distinctive roles across Shonan, thus bringing the region's unique workforce to the forefront. Key Functions of 'Shonan Work Culture WEB':

• - Discover job listings unique to the Shonan area, which aren’t advertised on major job sites.
• - Facilitate connections between local companies and job seekers eager to work in Shonan.
• - Generate employment opportunities for skilled individuals, including experienced housewives re-entering the workforce.
• - Provide insights into the atmosphere of companies and shops through interviews with current employees, allowing job seekers to gauge the environment candidly.
• - Offer a relaxed job search experience without aggressive recruitment tactics, giving job seekers the freedom to explore at their own pace.

Featured prominently will be new job postings alongside columns related to employment, delving into what makes workplaces vibrant. The platform aims to present not only job opportunities but also deeply explore the lifestyle in Shonan, emphasizing the allure of both the jobs and the region itself. It distinguishes itself from traditional job sites by focusing on the concept of 'working close to home' and fostering job matches within Shonan.

Through 'Shonan Work Culture WEB,' the dream of living and working in Shonan seamlessly can become a reality, fitting perfectly with the lifestyle of those who wish to embody individuality in their career choices. Instead of relying solely on standard conditions or benefits when selecting a workplace, this platform encourages individuals to reflect on who they aspire to be at work and promotes jobs that offer attractive, growth-oriented work environments.

The Shonan Style Magazine is currently featuring its 102nd issue, titled 'Recommendation for Local T-Shirts', available for purchase at bookstores, convenience stores, and online platforms like Amazon.

Since its launch in 1998, the magazine encapsulates the ideal lifestyle envisioned under the slogan 'The life you want is right here,' making it a niche publication focused on the Shonan area. With its proximity to Tokyo—about an hour's drive away—Shonan occupies a unique space that is neither too urban nor too rural, fostering a diverse culture that remains popular as a destination for migration.

Prioritizing a local perspective, it showcases Shonan's allure through subjects related to living, dining, activities, entertainment, culture, education, and sustainability, thereby attracting admiration from outside the region, positioning itself as the leading local magazine in Shonan.
