Why Jelper Club?
なぜJelper Clubは存在するのか。
In a rapidly changing world, many countries are pursuing economic growth, yet this often comes at the expense of individual well-being and social stability, threatening the lives of everyday people.
In contrast, Japan has developed a unique employment culture that values people. Companies do not treat employees merely as a labor force, but as members of society, nurturing them and supporting their lives holistically.
However, Japan’s employment culture remains poorly understood abroad. Even within Japan, the system is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain due to declining birthrates, an aging population, and globalization.
Jelper Club aims to share an evolved form of Japan’s people-centric employment culture with the world—one that aligns with global needs and modern technology. Through this, we strive to lay the foundation for a more sustainable society not only in Japan, but across the globe.
Vision
ビジョン
"Fostering global social stability through Japan's human-centric work culture"
"In the United States, after national security, the most important thing is the economy. In Japan, the most important thing is society"
- Peter Drucker, "Management Challenges for the 21st Century"
Under this value system, Japan’s membership-based employment model has fostered long-term trust between companies and individuals, supporting the stability of society as a whole. This is not an outdated system; rather, in an era of AI and global capitalism, it is a model that deserves renewed recognition.
At the same time, to present a future of “people-centered work” to the world, Japan must evolve its own employment practices—integrating global needs and cutting-edge technologies into its foundation of people-centric values.
We envision a future where a working style, rooted in Japanese employment culture and enhanced by the world’s most advanced insights, becomes a new global standard—one that overcomes inequality and division.

Mission
ミッション
"Creating a hub where authentic Japan and global talent meet"
Japan’s employment and social systems differ significantly from those of other countries. As a result, they have long been misunderstood abroad and often overlooked by top global talent who might otherwise play a key role in sharing the true value of Japan’s work culture with the world.
Jelper Club aims to create a hub where global top talent can first connect with Japanese culture, and through that gateway, come to understand the core value of Japan’s “people-centered” way of working. By enabling these individuals to drive innovation and solve social issues within Japan, we strive to generate success stories that both modernize Japan’s working style and shift how it is perceived globally.
