INGS Launches 'Linkus' Management System to Support Skilled Foreign Workers in Japan

Enhancing Workforce Management: The Launch of 'Linkus'

In a significant move aimed at streamlining operations within the Japanese restaurant sector, ING株式会社 (INGS) has officially begun implementing its new support management system, 'Linkus.' This initiative is designed to enhance the management of skilled foreign workers, particularly in the wake of increasing demand for such labor in Japan's hospitality industry.

Background of 'Linkus'

INGS, headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, operates various popular dining establishments, including 'らぁ麺はやし田' and 'CONA', an Italian & wine bar. Since around 2022, the company has started hiring skilled foreign workers. By managing all necessary applications and educational support in-house, INGS aims to ensure personalized attention for each employee, contributing to their professional development and even producing individuals who have obtained the specific skills certification level 2.

To bolster its support management system, INGS identified the need to reduce work processes' complexity and persistence on specific personnel. The introduction of 'Linkus' allows for more efficient management of documentation and various tasks associated with employing skilled foreign workers.

Benefits of Implementing 'Linkus'

A representative from INGS shared insights about the positive aspects of adopting the 'Linkus' system. The system offers distinct management processes categorized by stages such as 'Pending', 'In Application', and 'Active'. It allows for database management of information necessary for the processes, thereby minimizing individual reliance on employees for document handling. Additionally, with ready-made templates for necessary documentation, employees can save considerable time on paperwork.

Moreover, feedback from businesses utilizing 'Linkus' indicates that it has streamlined around 80% of their operations, marking a significant step toward operational efficiency.

Comprehensive Features of 'Linkus'

'Linkus' consolidates various management functions regarding applications for skilled workers. From document creation to file management, task oversight, and coordination with related institutions, the system integrates all aspects into a single platform. It supports businesses in handling the entire process of employing skilled foreign workers, providing peace of mind for first-time users and experienced employers alike.

Key Features Include:

- Assured Support for First-time Employers: New users can access extensive support features designed to facilitate their entry into employing skilled foreign personnel.
- Streamlined Process Management: The platform’s shared management approach enhances operational efficiency, providing a smoother hiring experience.
- Thorough Post-employment Support: The system encompasses robust functions for ongoing management and support post-employment, offering a bird's-eye view of the workforce's preparations for work.
