Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

This voluntary organization, whose members are drawn from the employees of the WILL GROUP, plans and operates donation and support activities for children. It was founded in the wake of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The Association various initiatives include extracurricular activities and educational support to create opportunities for children to become excited about their future.

The association holds extracurricular lessons so employees of the Group can share anecdotes of their own failures to these children and discuss what they learned from that experience. This program prompts children to think about their futures and provides opportunities for our employees to gain a sense of their own growth. This program emerged from our desire to give the children hints and tips, however small, on how to approach life.

This program is for university students concerned about their future career paths and who are trying to determine career options and identify interests. Group employees serve for roughly one month, holding get to know yourself lessons involving coursework and dialogue with the aim of having students reflect on their past and present, while looking toward their futures.

Following disasters in Japan, we conduct volunteer activities to provide emotional and educational support to children in affected areas where assistance might not be readily available. The Group offers human resources, vehicles, and facilities, partnering with NPOs and local organizations to give support for up to three months.

In August 2022, the Group established a new matching gift system premised on our desire to become an agent that brings positive change to individuals and organizations, even outside our own operations and business. The Group solicits and matches financial donations from employees when a natural disaster occurs and provides the funds to local governments and organizations. Acting in this way, expresses the feelings of both individuals and the Group. The name reflects the desire of the WILL GROUP to closely align with people and communities, while also showing our intention of having the WILL to work for a better future for individuals and society.

For nearly 25 years, the WILL GROUP has been dedicated to HR services. During this time, we noticed that many individuals choose temporary employment to align with their aspirations. As an HR service provider advocating for diverse workstyles, supporting these individuals is especially important to us among all the people we assist. The WILLOF Foundation is committed to empowering temporary employees with the will to take on a challenge as they pursue their dreams and personal objectives. We intend to help create a society where many dreams and goals are achieved, where the attainment of personal growth inspires others, and where positivity fuels fresh action.

In this program, individual personnel or groups participate in volunteer activities with the aim of boosting engagement and fostering more awareness of social contributions. Since this program was launched in 2022, we have contributed to 42 organizations and engaged in activities in 14 cities in 9 countries for a grand total of 2,100 volunteer hours. These activities span the gamut from beach clean-ups to preparing meals at nursing homes.
Working with other personnel in a different environment and context also helps to build team cohesiveness within the company. Moreover, social contribution activities inspire employees to be more grateful for their jobs and workplace so that they can engage in ordinary work operations with a more positive attitude, so these initiatives benefit both society and individuals.
