We would like to express our gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support.
In the human resources business market in the fiscal year ended March 2023, strong corporate demand for recruitment continued in association with the easing of border control measures related to COVID-19 infections in Japan and the advancing normalization of economic activities. Employment mobility is also increasing, and methods to retain superior human resources over the long term are expected to diversify even more.
In this business environment, our group worked on the building of a profit base for the future and the strengthening of investment in and the development of the human resources who will support long-term corporate growth based on the basic policies of the medium-term management plan formulated in May 2022. In particular, positive strategies in our investment businesses, HR-Tech engage and the Human Resources Platform, were successful and we were able to grow our services at a pace above initial expectations. On the back of this, we achieved results in excess of the targets for the first year of the medium-term management plan for both net sales and operating income for the full year.
Our company is committed to accelerating the resolution of various social issues by focusing on the Social Impact Recruitment Project, which connects aspiring human resources who want to make a better world using their superior abilities with companies and organizations that are taking on the challenges of social change. From now on, we will continue to aim for the realization of the purpose unique to our company of “making the world a better place by increasing the number of people who work hard for people and society” to achieve sustainable growth.
We look forward to everyone’s continued support moving forward.
