Overview apseeds (HQ: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Nobuyuki Otani; Mynavi Group) and manebi (HQ: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomoya Tajima) have announced a Single Sign-On (SSO) integration between their professional mobile app for temp staff, 'apseeds Portal,' and the staffing industry-specialized e-learning platform, 'Haken no Mikata.'

Background and Objectives In the staffing industry, mandatory training and legal education for staff are critical but face significant administrative challenges due to high personnel turnover. Managers often face the immense task of issuing and communicating login credentials for every new hire, while staff struggle with managing multiple IDs and passwords, leading to delays in training. This partnership aims to minimize these analog management costs and create an environment where staff can autonomously pursue skill development.

Details of SSO Integration The integration enables seamless access from 'apseeds Portal' to 'Haken no Mikata.' By adopting 'SAML 2.0,' a standard protocol for secure authentication across different domains, the system offers several key benefits: - **Reduction in Administrative Work**: Staffing agencies no longer need to provide individual login URLs, IDs, or passwords, significantly lowering management costs. - **Easier Access for Staff**: Temp staff can transition to 'Haken no Mikata' training screens with one tap from the portal they use daily, preventing training interruptions caused by lost credentials. - **Improved Training Completion Rates**: By establishing the portal as a familiar entry point, agencies can lower barriers to starting new training programs, ensuring consistent delivery of legal and skill-based training.

Comments from Executives **Nobuyuki Otani, President of apseeds**: "As reskilling and staff retention become major challenges, we are confident that by merging manebi's practical educational content with our staff engagement expertise, we can provide unprecedented value to both staffing agencies and their staff."

**Tomoya Tajima, CEO of manebi**: "Linking 'Haken no Mikata,' which is used by over 1,600 companies, with 'apseeds Portal,' which serves as infrastructure for many staffing agencies, is a significant step toward drastically lowering the hurdles for staff to access learning opportunities."
