(Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Kotaro Okamoto), a subsidiary of Meiko Network Japan Inc. (headquartered in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Takuto Oshima, President; hereinafter "Simple") has launched "Hokuiku Unji," an online community where childcare professionals can safely connect and share their daily concerns and joys. In this initiative, "coorum", the honest data platform provided by Asobica Corporation, has been introduced to transform the "true feelings" of individual childcare workers into social value.

Background of Online Community Establishment
In the childcare field, issues such as personnel shortages, short-term turnover, and loneliness are becoming more and more serious, and Simple has supported many childcare workers through "Simple Childcare," a job change support service specializing in childcare workers and kindergarten teachers. In addition, there was a lack of contact points with which to share the concerns and joys of everyday life, not just the extraordinary experience of changing jobs. Therefore, we established a community where childcare workers can support each other and think together about long-term career development, not just changing jobs.
About "Hoiku-Unji
Hokuiku Unji" is an online community where people can safely share the loneliness and hesitation they feel in their daily work. In recent years, the childcare field has been facing issues such as short-term job turnover and structures that prevent the voices of front-line workers from being heard, and Simple has received many comments such as "I don't have anyone I can talk to about my problems" and "I have endless worries after changing jobs.
This community will provide a "friendly place" where childcare workers can feel "not alone" by connecting with other childcare workers, as well as collect feedback that will lead to career support and system improvements, and give back to the creation of a better environment.
Introduction of main contents
Concerns
A space where you can feel free to discuss any concerns or worries you may have about relationships in the childcare field, or any doubts you may have about whether or not this is normal. This is a space where you can feel free to discuss any concerns or anxieties you may have about human relations in the childcare industry. We are able to discuss things that are difficult to talk about with people close to us because we work in the same industry as each other. We aim to be a place where such "wisdom" can be gathered.

This is a room where you can freely post your creations and memorable moments from your daily childcare activities, along with photos. We provide a warm place where your ideas and memories can be "seen" and "approved".
happi-toku
It is a place where you can share your daily "happiness" such as what makes you happy and what moves you. It can be used as a space where you can unwind and spread positive feelings in between work.
From Simple President and Representative Director
Since our founding, we have been involved in assisting childcare workers and kindergarten teachers in changing jobs, and have strongly felt the preciousness of childcare work and its social significance. At the same time, however, we also realize that there are many childcare workers who are troubled, anxious, and lonely in their busy daily lives.
We believe that what we really need to provide now is not only support for the "extraordinary" job change, but also a place where people can be close to each other in their "everyday" lives. We would like to make "Hokuiku Unji" a place of relaxation where all childcare workers can feel safe and connected, and to support the future of the childcare industry as a whole.
Through this initiative, we will also contribute to solving social issues such as preventing early turnover of childcare workers and supporting the return of potential childcare workers to the workforce.
