Nikka Home, with 119 Stores Nationwide, Launches 2028 Recruitment: Strengthening 'Recruitment to Training' in the Labor-Short Renovation Industry

The Kanto branch of Nikka Home Co., Ltd., a major player in the home renovation sector, has officially launched its recruitment activities for the graduating class of 2028. Amid chronic labor shortages in the housing and construction industries, Nikka Home has positioned recruitment as a core management strategy, promoting unique initiatives that cover everything from hiring to talent development and retention.

### Challenges in Talent Acquisition and Development While the home renovation market remains robust, the shortage of young talent is intensifying across the entire construction sector. Nikka Home is building a system that integrates recruitment, training, and career formation. Key recent initiatives include:

- **Cross-Branch HR Exchange:** Personnel from the Kanto and Nagoya/Mikawa/Owari areas met to share market insights, successful cases, and strengthen inter-regional cooperation. - **'LEADERS MEET' Program:** Small-group networking sessions for prospective hires where executives, such as sales directors and new business heads, participate directly to discuss business visions and strategies, fostering deep understanding before joining.

### 'Creating 100 Business Leaders' Vision The company's HR vision is to 'Create 100 Business Leaders.' By providing diverse opportunities such as store management and launching new ventures, it creates an environment where young employees can proactively build their careers. The company is also active in recruitment PR, including executive appearances on FM radio to broaden connections with local communities and job seekers.

Nikka Home plans to continue its nationwide expansion while increasing investment in its people, contributing to the development of talent that will lead the future of the renovation industry.
