Capire LLC Enables 'HR Function Enhancement Program' Implementation Following Fractional CHRO Engagement

Capire LLC (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Arisa Ito) has launched a new support plan for companies struggling with a shortage of CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer) talent. The plan combines HR infrastructure development by a fractional CHRO with an 'HR Function Enhancement Program.' It offers step-by-step support for building an HR department capable of aligning with corporate strategy at a lower cost than hiring a full-time CHRO. This initiative contributes a new approach to resolving the increasingly severe shortage of CHRO talent in Japan.

## Background of the New Plan: Resolving the Paradox of 'Unable to Strengthen HR Because There is No HR'

Currently, the importance of 'strategic HR' is increasing across many companies.
Capire LLC has previously provided its 'HR Function Enhancement Program' to numerous companies, supporting organizational growth.

However, due to an absolute shortage of CHRO-level personnel to take the lead, as well as practical HR staff, many companies face a dilemma: they want to strengthen their HR functions but fundamentally lack the internal structure and personnel to absorb such initiatives.

Therefore, Capire has launched this new plan to ensure reliable results even for companies with undeveloped structures.
Before implementing the program, the company's professional talent participates as a fractional CHRO for a set period, supporting the establishment of a personnel structure and HR infrastructure.

## Support Flow of the New Plan

Support is provided in the following two steps, tailored to the company's current situation.

- [Step 1] Structure Establishment by a Fractional CHRO (Optional)
Professional talent with CHRO experience from Capire LLC participates as a fractional CHRO for a specific duration.
While managing CHRO responsibilities, they support the establishment of the HR department's personnel structure necessary to execute the 'HR Function Program.'

- [Step 2] Implementation of the HR Function Enhancement Program (Can also start from Step 2)
An educational program designed to graduate from partial optimization and build an HR department with CHRO-level execution capabilities.

## Overview of the HR Function Enhancement Program

- 1. Perspective Alignment Phase:
Execution of a CHRO training course (CHRO-level perspective / CHRO-level judgment / Strategy formulation and practical execution)

- 2. Overall Design and Training Phase:
Issue identification (Understanding current HR functions, structures, and situations)
Requirement definition (Defining future necessary HR functions and skills / Determining training policies)
Overall design (Identifying training areas / Prioritizing / Formulating an annual roadmap)
Implementation of training (Customized support for each company while monitoring practical work)

- 3. Operation and Evolution Phase:
Regular dialogue (Understanding organizational status / Organizing issues / Supporting HR decisions / Providing insights)
