This press release represents our 'dream.'

■ Our Dream

**To raise the status of HR and labor affairs personnel in society and increase their compensation by 2 million yen.**

In this initiative, 'increasing compensation by 2 million yen' refers to a comprehensive improvement in value, including not only salary increases for HR and labor affairs personnel nationwide but also:

* Expansion of roles (shifting from routine tasks to roles involving business improvement and operational design) * Improvement in evaluation (involvement in internal decision-making) * Improvement in market value (accumulation of skills and experience)

■ HR and Labor Affairs is Inherently a 'Creative Job'

Currently, the evaluation and compensation of HR and labor affairs personnel do not sufficiently reflect the importance of their work.

Fundamentally, HR and labor affairs is a creative job that involves 'designing a state where the front lines can operate without hesitation and enhancing organizational productivity.'

However, in reality, much of their time is consumed by daily tasks such as payroll calculation and attendance management, leaving insufficient time for the 'designing of organizational progress' that they should be focusing on.

Furthermore, due to the pressure of tasks where mistakes are not tolerated and an evaluation structure that assumes 'doing it right is the bare minimum,' the value of HR and labor affairs continues to be difficult to evaluate correctly.

---

■ The Structure Lowers the Value of HR and Labor Affairs

The very structure that prevents personnel from applying their efforts to work where they should be providing value is what is driving down the market value of HR and labor affairs.

That is why we will change this structure.

---

■ A Declaration for the Future

Together with the SaaS vendors who have walked with us as supporting partners, we hereby declare:

* **Eliminate 'manual labor' from HR and labor affairs. First, eliminate payroll calculation.** * **Evolve HR and labor affairs from a 'cost' into a 'value-creating design function.'** * **By changing that structure, increase the compensation (including annual salary) of HR and labor affairs personnel by 2 million yen.** * **Redefine the value of HR and labor affairs and make it one of the most highly regarded jobs in Japan.**

This is not merely about efficiency or improving compensation. It is a challenge to evolve the very nature of HR and labor affairs work—from 'manual labor' to 'creative work.'

---

■ Concrete Future Initiatives

To achieve this, TECO Design will promote the following initiatives with a target year of 2026:

* **Provide knowledge and opportunities for HR and labor affairs personnel to become 'people who can make proposals.'** (We will cultivate the ability to propose value to the company through business design, DX utilization, and case studies from other companies.)

* **Build 'CLOUD STATION,' a community to share on-site concerns and operational 'bottlenecks' to lead to solutions.** (We will create an environment where people can share knowledge instead of carrying the burden alone.)

* **Visualize the value of HR and labor affairs and transform it into a 'highly evaluated job.'** (We will verbalize roles, achievements, and scope of influence to create a state that leads to proper evaluation.)

* **Aim for the 'CLOUD STATION' community to reach 1,000 participants and 30 supporting companies by the end of 2026.**

Through these efforts, we aim to create a situation that results in improved compensation, including annual salary.

■ Comment from Shin Sugino, President of TECO Design Co., Ltd.

In our experience working with many HR and labor affairs departments, we have heard the voices of people saying, 'There is no one I can consult with' or 'I don't know if this is the right way' time and time again.

And, it is not rare to hear people say, 'I don't want to do payroll anymore' or 'The pressure is too great.'

Even so, HR and labor affairs is an essential job that supports someone's 'work.' Despite this, its value is not being correctly evaluated.

That is why we declare here:

**We will increase the compensation (including annual salary) of HR and labor affairs personnel by 2 million yen.**

This is not just a simple improvement in compensation; it is a challenge to change the way they are evaluated, their roles, and their market value itself.

We will liberate HR and labor affairs from 'manual labor' and turn it into a 'creative job' that can propose value to the company. We are serious about creating a future where this job is a career chosen with pride.
