TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto) today announced the start of the first global human resources consulting project by MM Empower Corp., jointly established by MOL and the Magsaysay Group (Note 1).
MM Empower is helping establish a system which enables a subcontractor of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. to accept Filipino plumbers from the Philippines for long-term assignments in Japan. Specifically, the company makes proposals for resident status, introduces the local staffing agency and its training facilities, provides ongoing information and support for the Filipino workers, and supports cross-border communication among all businesses, agencies, and personnel involved.
MM Empower held several discussions with concerned parties amid the global COVID-19 pandemic situation, recruiting personnel online at the beginning of this year, and having started Japanese-language education and training for 19 of the first prospective employees while observing all safety protocols.
With the aim of offering clients and partners with stress-free services and exceptional customer experience, the MOL Group is positioning to become one of the most trusted talent solutions partners of Japanese firms providing end-to-end support (from determining global human resources needs, customizing and operating local education, allocating personnel, and providing aftercare support) through MM Empower. Fully leveraging on MOL group's networks in the Philippines with the Group's vast experience and knowledge accumulated through decades of seafarer development and training, the organization will connect workers and companies beyond national borders to contribute to the sustainable growth and development of both countries and the international community.

It is important to combine a country like Japan, where the population is aging and the number of workers is decreasing, and a country where the population is young but there is no place to work in the country.
Non-regular workers inflows are increasing in Japan as well, but I think commercialization in this way is wonderful. Turkey has a young population and a high unemployment rate, so it would be nice if we could do the same.
