Startup HR System/Labor Management Infrastructure Development
For startups navigating the challenges of scaling. We design an HR and labor “blueprint” that helps you compete for top talent, maintain both discipline and motivation, and build credibility with investors and VCs—adapted flexibly to your company’s growth phase.
Features
| Design of Employment Contracts, Work Rules (Workplace Regulations), and HR Systems (Performance Evaluation & Compensation) | We optimize the essential documents and frameworks required to run a startup—grounded in both legal compliance and operational effectiveness. By preventing issues before they arise, we establish a solid foundation that enables your company to stay focused on business growth. |
|---|---|
| Establishing Flexible HR Systems Aligned with Your Growth Stage | Anticipating changes in company size and business model, we design scalable HR systems that can evolve as you grow. Rather than aiming for perfection from day one, we take a practical approach—grounded in both your “current” needs and your “future” direction—developing an achievable roadmap and partnering with you to implement it smoothly. |
| Strengthening Hiring Competitiveness While Boosting Employee Motivation | We build HR systems that go beyond simply increasing pay—enhancing transparency and perceived fairness in performance evaluation. This enables you to achieve both: attracting top talent (stronger hiring competitiveness) and improving engagement among existing employees (higher motivation), addressing the dual challenge that growing companies face. |
| Establishing Governance that can be accepted by Investor and VC | With future fundraising and a potential IPO in mind, we build a high-standard labor and HR governance framework that can withstand rigorous third-party scrutiny (due diligence) from investors and VCs. This strengthens your business credibility and supports a smooth path to your next stage of growth. |

Growth Talent and Manager Training
We help close the gap between the labor compliance risks faced by local managers and the expectations of global headquarters. This is a practical training program that translates legal requirements into day-to-day management actions, strengthens harassment prevention and proper labor management, and supports the organization’s sustainable growth.
Features
| Harassment Prevention and Labor Management Training | This training is essential for strengthening organizational compliance and building a healthy workplace environment. Based on the latest legal requirements, participants learn practical guidance through harassment scenarios and response measures, as well as the initial actions and investigation process that managers are expected to follow. |
|---|---|
| Practical Guidance on Labor Laws and Key Management Considerations | We explain complex labor regulations—such as overtime management and leave systems—in a clear, practical way that local managers can apply immediately. Participants gain concrete management best practices to mitigate legal risk while maximizing employee performance. |
| Bridging the Understanding and Expectation Gap Between Local Managers, Expat Executives, and Global HR | We resolve misalignment between domestic and overseas perspectives on Japan-specific labor practices and legal requirements. We help headquarters and non-Japanese leadership accurately understand labor and compliance risks in Japan, while guiding local managers on how global standards intersect with Japanese labor law—enabling consistent and coherent organizational management. |
