'I want to keep working' is a nationwide sentiment. mog, supporting working mothers, launches full-scale operations in the Kansai region

mog Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akie Inada; hereinafter "the company"), which provides career support for working mothers, will fully launch its initiatives in the Kansai region starting July 2026.

Since its founding, the company has focused on "mog career job placement," a full-time working mother job support service, providing career support to working mothers nationwide. Currently, the number of registered users exceeds 30,000, and the company has accumulated expertise in recruitment and career support based on flexible work arrangements, primarily in the Greater Tokyo Area.

This time, leveraging this expertise, the company will expand its support to both working mothers and companies in the Kansai region, aiming to broaden access to flexible work opportunities.

'I want to keep working' is a shared sentiment nationwide. Expanding options to Kansai

To date, the company has conducted career counseling for over 10,000 working mothers across Japan, supporting each individual's career path. Among these interactions, regardless of region, common voices include: 'I want to take on meaningful work while balancing childcare' and 'I want to continue growing without interrupting my career.'

These aspirations are not limited to the Greater Tokyo Area but are widely shared across Japan, including in Kansai. However, there are regional disparities in access to job opportunities and companies that support flexible work arrangements. According to research, while women in the Kansai region show strong intent to balance work and family life and to continue employment, there remain gaps compared to the Greater Tokyo Area in metrics such as the proportion of female managers and the percentage of companies adopting flexible work policies (※1).

As the company has primarily operated in the Greater Tokyo Area, companies actively offering flexible work arrangements and recruitment have been concentrated there. While supporting job seekers nationwide, we have become acutely aware that the range of available job opportunities varies significantly depending on where one lives.

This initiative aims to expand opportunities for working mothers in Kansai to access work styles and career paths aligned with their personal aspirations.

(※1) According to the Japan Research Institute's report "Promoting Employment and Advancement of Women in Kansai: Establishing Employment Systems that Enable Work-Life Balance" (May 19, 2021), women in the Kansai region show high motivation for continued employment and career development, yet disparities remain compared to the Greater Tokyo Area in areas such as the ratio of female managers and the proportion of companies implementing flexible work arrangements.

Initiatives in the Kansai Region

Through enhanced activities in the Kansai region, the company will expand support for both working mothers and companies. For companies, it will support hiring and organizational development based on flexible work models and actively develop job opportunities where working mothers can thrive. For working mothers, it will provide career support through job placement services, community management, training, and seminars.

Executive Comment

Akie Inada, CEO of mog Co., Ltd.

"Since our founding, we have specialized in career support for working mothers. Through training sessions and seminars across Japan, we have heard countless times the desire to 'continue one's career while balancing childcare.' These voices are also strongly present in Kansai. This initiative marks the first step in applying the experience and know-how we have cultivated primarily in the Greater Tokyo Area to Kansai and, ultimately, nationwide. We aim to create better matches between working mothers and companies, contributing to a society where everyone, regardless of where they live, can access work styles and career paths that reflect their authentic selves."
