Selection & Variation Co., Ltd., an organizational and HR consulting firm (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshihiro Hirayasu; URL: https://sele-vari.co.jp/), is pleased to announce a seminar titled '“Lenient Evaluations” Are Stunting Subordinate Growth: Key Points for Implementing Differentiated Evaluations and Fostering Development,' to be held on Monday, April 20, 2026, from 14:00 to 14:35.

Overview:
Many companies face challenges in operating evaluation systems, such as managers finding it difficult to give low ratings, leading to overly lenient or centralized evaluations. If this continues, it not only undermines the satisfaction of high-performing employees but also obscures the necessary challenges for individual growth, eventually leading to the formalization and obsolescence of the evaluation system itself.
In this seminar, we will move beyond viewing this as a personal issue for managers and instead discuss how organizations can provide the necessary support to enable managers to provide appropriate, differentiated evaluations. We invite you to join us to learn key organizational points for linking evaluations to talent development.
