## Our Dream
**Creating a society where resignation agencies are unnecessary**
Our dream is to **create a society where resignation agencies are unnecessary.**
In recent years, the use of resignation agency services has increased. We believe this is not merely a trend but a symbolic phenomenon indicating a change in the relationship between companies and employees.
We perceive the background to this as **structural problems** that cannot be explained solely by wage levels, such as opaque evaluation systems, underdeveloped organizational management, and challenges in working hour management.
## Survey Implementation and White Paper Publication
Iidabashi Kagurazaka Social Insurance Labor Consultant Corporation conducted the
**"2026 (1st) Human Capital and Labor Risk Survey"**
targeting 231 companies with 30 to less than 100 employees, and has published a white paper summarizing the results.
Reference: 49.8% of SMEs say "evaluation system is not functioning" or "there is no evaluation system" - What is the reality of companies where turnover does not decrease even with wage increases?
## Realities of SMEs Revealed by the Survey
The survey results revealed that approximately 40% of companies responded that "the evaluation system is not functioning," indicating that four out of ten companies recognize issues with their own evaluation systems.
Q. Do you feel your company's evaluation system is functioning? (From "2026 (1st) Human Capital and Labor Risk Survey")
Furthermore, an analysis of the impact of dissatisfaction with the evaluation system on turnover showed that in companies where the evaluation system is not functioning, the percentage of those feeling an impact on turnover reached 62.6%, suggesting that systemic deficiencies may be a direct cause of turnover.
Regarding wage increase trends, many companies are planning wage increases ranging from 3% to 6% in Reiwa 8 (2026), and this level has become the main battleground for current wage increases. On the other hand, many companies are grappling with the necessity of wage increases versus their impact on profits.
