Hello everyone! This is Yuka Okada, Representative Director of Willow Inc.
In Japan’s “Specified Skilled Worker” (SSW) program, Vietnam and Indonesia currently hold a large share. While the percentage of Sri Lankan workers is still relatively low, we at Willow highly recommend Sri Lankan talent for companies looking for reliable and motivated staff.
1. Exceptional Work Ethic and Diligence
The first thing you notice about Sri Lankan people is their honesty and hard-working nature. For them, working in Japan is a life-changing opportunity to support their families and build a career. As a result, they possess a strong sense of responsibility and learn technical skills very quickly. Their patient and dedicated approach fits perfectly with Japanese manufacturing and professional standards.
2. Cultural Compatibility Through Buddhism
About 70% of the Sri Lankan population is Buddhist. This shared cultural root with Japan fosters values such as respecting elders, valuing harmony, and practicing patience.
- Politeness: They have excellent manners and adapt to the Japanese work environment quickly.
- Teamwork: They prioritize group harmony and work well within teams, making communication smooth for Japanese staff.
3. Willow’s Strength: Direct Partnership with the Sri Lankan Government
The most important factor is that Willow Inc. maintains a direct relationship with Sri Lankan government agencies.
By working closely with the government, we ensure a transparent recruitment process and select highly qualified candidates. Our direct channel allows for smoother administrative procedures and reliable backgrounds for every worker.
Conclusion: A Strategic Hiring Choice
Sri Lankan talent, backed by a strong work ethic, cultural affinity, and government support, is a “blue ocean” for Japanese companies. They are ready to become a vital part of your future workforce.
