Personnel evaluation systems are supposed to enhance employee satisfaction and support growth. However, in practice, these systems are often perceived as a burden. Do these systems truly serve their purpose in supporting an organization?
Professional Studio Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryutaro Ichikawa), which provides comprehensive HR support services for ventures and SMEs including the HR tool 'FirstHR' (https://first-hr.jp/), conducted a survey among 262 full-time employees aged 20 to 49 nationwide to understand their true feelings about corporate systems.
The results showed that while many employees are dissatisfied with 'personnel evaluation,' they are proactively seeking opportunities for dialogue that lead to personal growth and a sense of conviction.
[Key Survey Results]

- Despite disliking evaluations, over 70% believe that 'meetings with supervisors are beneficial.'
[Detailed Findings]
1. 29.3% of employees dislike 'Personnel Evaluation/Assessment,' more than 'Company Events' or 'Job Rotations.'
While various corporate rules are essential, they can become sources of stress for workers. Among the most disliked were 'Personnel Evaluation/Assessment' (29.3%), followed by 'Company Events/Parties' (24.7%), 'Job Rotations/Transfers' (24.1%), and 'Training/Self-development' (24.0%). Originally meant to reward effort, evaluation systems have instead become targets of dissatisfaction.
