Why

Why Morita Group?

30 years of experience in education and
100 classrooms in operation

As experts in developing people, we can bring
fundamental change to your company culture

“What only experts in developing people can do”

More employees who take initiative

Fewer employees wait for instructions, and more grow into people who think and act for themselves.

Lower turnover at the root, by changing the mindset

As employees’ self-esteem rises, they grow attached to the company and stay longer.

A united team, through dialogue that builds “thinking skills”

Communication becomes more active, problems decrease, and the whole organization pulls together.

[One-time] Online: consultation on hiring foreign talent

Your organization’s “readiness to welcome”:
assessment & advice

The first step to avoid failure: an assessment of your organization’s “readiness to welcome” by education professionalsBefore systems and procedures, why not check the most important thing — the foundation?

For business owners who say:

  • “I’m not sure whether to hire foreign workers. I don’t know where to start.”
  • “We hired before, but it didn’t work out and they quit right away. I don’t know why.”
  • “I want a neutral opinion, not just what the sending organization tells me.”
  • “We struggle with developing our people in general, not only foreign staff.”

Service overview and goals

  • Before you begin the hiring process (visa procedures, etc.), Morita, with 30 years of experience in education, objectively assesses whether your company’s current culture and training system are ready to welcome diverse people.
  • We put into words “why people don’t stay” and “what is missing,” and make clear the steps to take before you ramp up hiring.

Successful hiring of foreign talent

Consulting on “mutual understanding”
from education professionals

We do not offer recruitment services

The basis of trust: “fully neutral” support, with no recruitment services

  • Flat advice with no conflict of interestBecause we do not earn referral fees, we objectively propose the systems and methods that best fit your situation.
  • Organizational improvement by “education professionals”We apply the educational know-how from running 100 classrooms to guiding foreign staff and changing the mindset of Japanese employees.

Practical advice: pay levels and points to watch for visa renewal

  • Pay equal to Japanese employees is a mustVisa applications require proof that pay is not unfairly low compared with Japanese employees (a base salary of around ¥200,000 or more).
  • “Job consistency” decides visa renewalFor highly skilled professionals (Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, “Gijinkoku”), a match between the person’s university major and their actual work is an absolute condition for renewal.

The key to retention: changing mindsets

  • A shift from “money” to “personal growth”Today’s foreign workers value not only wages but also an environment where they can gain skills and grow.
  • Mutual understanding and creating “a place to belong”An attitude of learning about the other person’s culture and welcoming them not as labor, but as “partners who grow together.”
  • Mindset training for Japanese employeesTo prevent isolation in the workplace, cultural-understanding training for the Japanese staff who welcome them is essential.

[Ongoing] Advisory contract

Partnership contract
for business owners

Standing by you in the loneliness of leadership: a partner for “organizing your thinking and mindset”Why not have an “outside sounding board” who sees things from both an educational and a management perspective?

For business owners who say:

  • “I have worries about my organization and people that I can’t discuss inside the company.”
  • “I want the opinion of a neutral third party with no conflict of interest.”

Service overview and goals

Business owners are always facing lonely decisions. Morita, as a fellow business owner, and our mindset specialists, from the perspective of educators who develop people, offer a second opinion on your management issues.

Rather than handing you one-sided solutions, we help you organize your own thinking through dialogue and reach an answer you are truly convinced of.

    Move beyond waiting for instructions, and raise employees’ independence by engaging with them in ways that spark “awareness.”

  2. A mindset for welcoming foreign talent

    Encourages a shift in thinking: welcoming foreign workers not simply as labor, but as “partners” who grow together.

  3. Right-brain thinking and boosting self-esteem

    Sharpen the “intuition and sensibility” essential in the AI age, and deepen trust and confidence within the team.

The heart of our training: “self-esteem,” built on 30 years of experience

  • Applying educational know-how to employee trainingWe put into practice the approach of believing in each person’s potential, developed at Kodomo School with its 100 classrooms.
  • “Self-reliant” development that nurtures self-esteemWe guide employees in building the “inner foundation” to notice their own talents and start acting on their own.
