On the other hand, there are various ways to implement wage increases. There are many points to consider, such as "should initial salaries be raised?", "should base-ups be implemented?", or "should the compensation system itself be reviewed?".

Since then, he has supported the transformation of over 200 companies, questioning whether companies can truly grow with traditional practices like mass hiring of new graduates, seniority-based promotions, regular salary increases, and lifetime employment, and what HR can do to expand business and generate profits. Today, based on changes in working styles and lifestyles due to the COVID-19 shock, we are supporting management reforms to turn challenges into opportunities. ■ Some of our client companies since 2020 Pharmaceutical industry (TSE Prime-listed) IT platformer (TSE Prime-listed) Specialty trading company (TSE Prime-listed) System development industry (TSE Prime-listed) Audit firm-affiliated consulting firm Telecommunications construction industry (TSE Prime-listed) Other unlisted companies (manufacturing, service industries, etc.) [Company Profile] Mission: To make the growth of companies and individuals commonplace Company Name: Selection and Variation Inc.
