Background and Purpose
In recent years in Japan, while continuous increases in the minimum wage and the government's "structural wage increase" policies are progressing, a significant gap in the implementation rate and level of wage increases has emerged between large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In particular, due to the decline in the working-age population and the persistently high active job openings-to-applicants ratio, wage increases are becoming a "necessary condition" rather than an "option" for SMEs. In addition, local regions are heavily affected by population decline and the outflow of young people to urban areas, making it essential for companies to balance wage increases and productivity improvements in order to grow sustainably.
Even in Tottori Prefecture, which has the smallest population and number of companies nationwide, the majority of companies in the prefecture are SMEs and micro-enterprises, and it is thought that there are companies that "want to increase wages but cannot." Under these circumstances, in order to achieve sustainable wage increases, it is essential to resolve the "lack of situational awareness" caused by unmaintained financial analysis and business plans, and a lack of understanding of the break-even point, and to "raise the baseline of management capabilities" so that companies themselves can correctly understand their management status and draw up improvement measures.
In response to this urgent issue in Tottori Prefecture, FIS Solutions will support the essential improvement of the management capabilities of companies in the prefecture by visualizing the impact of wage increases on management from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives through a "Management Capability Improvement Diagnosis" based on the company's profitability, financial health, and investment effectiveness.
Through this project, by making subsidies function not merely as a "grant payment system" but as a "program to improve management capabilities," we will contribute to the realization of sustainable wage increases and productivity improvements in Tottori Prefecture.
Business Policy and Overall Picture
To promote this business most effectively and efficiently in line with its purpose, FIS Solutions will implement this operation based on the following four basic policies:
1. Visualization of management through integrated "quantitative x qualitative" diagnosis
Fusing financial data and executive interviews to achieve a three-dimensional evaluation.
2. Proactive approach to companies at all levels
Actively encouraging participation in the target subsidies and this project.
3. Efficiency through digital technology and provision of diverse consultation opportunities
Providing consultation opportunities that do not leave behind companies unfamiliar with digital technology.
4. Provision of analysis contributing to policy making and strengthening the management capabilities of the entire prefecture
Connecting to the strengthening of management capabilities for the entire prefecture, not just supporting individual companies.
