Keiyoukai Launches Relocation Subsidy of Up to 100,000 JPY for New Employees Moving from Distant Areas

Social Welfare Corporation Keiyoukai (headquartered in Mutsuzawa Town, Chiba Prefecture; President: Sotaro Yamamoto) announced the launch of a new 'Relocation Subsidy Program' in July 2026. As part of its initiative to actively support diverse employment pathways, the organization will provide up to 100,000 JPY in moving expenses to new employees who relocate from distant areas to join its facilities.

The program has been implemented at three facilities operated by the organization in Chiba Prefecture: Mutsuzawa-en, Nagara-en, and Sennen Kibou no Mori Narita.

Background of the Program: Diversifying Employment Support

The caregiving and social welfare industry continues to face chronic labor shortages, necessitating talent acquisition from broader geographic areas.

Keiyoukai has reviewed its traditional recruitment support systems and has been working to build a new support framework that accommodates the diverse backgrounds and lifestyles of individual employees.

The 'Relocation Subsidy Program' is positioned as a system to support a new way of working—joining the organization through relocation from distant areas. Leveraging Chiba Prefecture’s unique regional characteristics, such as proximity to Narita Airport and access to surfing spots on the Boso Peninsula, Keiyoukai aims to create a workplace that is attractive and accessible even to those considering relocation from afar.

In fact, there have been cases in the past of individuals moving from Tokyo specifically to enjoy surfing while working at one of Keiyoukai’s facilities. By actively welcoming talent with diverse lifestyles and supporting personalized onboarding, the organization aims to achieve stable talent acquisition and improved employee retention.

Overview of the Relocation Subsidy Program

The program targets employees who relocate from areas more than 40 km away (by straight-line distance) or with a public transit commute time exceeding 120 minutes to a location near the facility.

Eligible employees will receive up to 100,000 JPY, added to their first bonus payment after completing six months of employment.

Please note that certain conditions apply to use the program, such as applying directly through the organization’s website or other channels without going through a staffing agency. For details, please contact the organization.

Keiyoukai positions this program as a key pillar in diversifying employment support and is committed to fully supporting individuals who wish to build their careers with the organization, regardless of their starting location.
