Matchbox Technologies Online Seminar: Gap Part-Time Work Savings and Safety

As we approach the end of the year, many businesses face severe labor shortages, particularly during peak seasons like the holidays. In response, Matchbox Technologies has announced a free online seminar running from December 24, 2025, to January 22, 2026. This seminar will focus on cost optimization and safe, compliant operations in utilizing gap part-time workers.

Understanding the Current Workforce Challenges

Amidst a persistent labor shortage, nearly 40% of companies are recognizing the potential of gap part-time employment as a solution. During busy holiday periods, rapid absences and the need for additional short shifts often challenge recruitment costs and labor management in the field.

To address these issues, Matchbox Technologies offers a cloud-based system called "matchbox." This platform enables businesses and local governments to create their own flexible work platforms, facilitating work on-demand, whether for a day or just a few hours. The municipal version, known as the 'official municipal matchbox,' has been implemented in 58 municipalities across 9 prefectures, gaining traction as a viable employment strategy. In fact, it was recently featured on Nippon Television's morning show, 'DayDay,' highlighting its growing prominence.

Seminar Highlights

The seminar titled "Essential! Cut Costs with Affordable Apps! - Gap Part-Time Work Savings Seminar" will cover various topics such as:

• - Strategies for reducing hiring costs associated with gap part-time workers.
• - Best practices for leveraging a self-built local human resources database to ensure reliable staffing.
• - Understanding legal risks surrounding gap part-time work and methods to mitigate them.

Participants can expect to learn how to efficiently manage labor during peak times while significantly lowering recruitment expenses and ensuring compliance with local labor laws.

Key Takeaways

• - Cost Reduction Techniques: Understand how to reduce hiring and training costs by turning gap part-time roles into recurring positions.
• - Legal Compliance: Gain insights into tax classifications for day labor and key considerations for preventing disputes regarding shutdown compensations due to company-driven cancellations.

Who Should Attend?

The seminar is especially beneficial for:

• - Location managers looking to revisit recruitment costs and gap part-time fees.
• - HR personnel grappling with staffing shortages during high-demand periods such as holidays.
• - HR and labor staff aiming for compliance to avoid disputes with job seekers.
• - Businesses wanting to maintain seamless connections with previous gap part-time workers to secure a reliable workforce.
