This milestone marks the adoption of KIZASHI by over 250 organizations (※), including registered support organizations assisting Specified Skilled Workers, supervising entities under the Technical Intern Training Program, and host companies employing foreign talent. What unites these diverse organizations is the shared belief: "We want to proactively address issues at the first sign of change, rather than waiting for someone to come forward with a problem."

Background: As Working with Foreign Talent Becomes the Norm, 'Retention' Emerges as the Next Challenge

The number of foreign workers in Japan has reached approximately 2.57 million (as of October 2025), marking 13 consecutive years of record highs (Source: Summary of Notifications from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's 'Status of Employment of Foreign Workers'). In many workplaces, foreign talent has already become an indispensable part of the team.

However, voices from the support frontline reveal persistent challenges:

・ We failed to notice changes until the individual voiced their concerns.

・ By the time a consultation was requested, the intention to leave had already solidified.

・ The quality of support varies significantly depending on the experience and intuition of the support staff.

・ Records of interviews and responses are not properly maintained, making it difficult to report support activities to host companies.

Employee turnover among foreign talent does not happen overnight; it begins with small, early warning signs. Due to language and cultural barriers, these signs often go unnoticed by Japanese colleagues and supervisors.

Furthermore, the systems surrounding foreign talent are at a turning point, including the transition toward the Skill Development and Employment system. Moving forward, support organizations and host companies will be expected to deliver higher-quality, individualized support—not just manage large numbers.

KIZASHI views these changes as an 'opportunity to enhance support quality' and provides a systematic retention support solution that goes beyond reliance on individual staff experience and intuition.
