Exploring Sustainable Management Practices for Employee Retention in 2026

Upcoming Seminar on Sustainable Management Practices

Overview

On March 19, 2026, from 1 PM to 3 PM JST, Lumission Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, will host a seminar titled "Exploring Sustainable Management Practices for Employee Retention! A Five Perspectives Approach." This online seminar aims to address the structural challenges faced by companies struggling with employee retention despite enhancing their recruitment efforts.

The seminar will delve into the five dimensions of management success—companies, employees, customers, the community, and future generations—to identify strategies for developing self-sustaining organizations. A significant number of companies today are grappling with issues such as hiring difficulties, low employee retention rates, and stagnant young talent development. Common problems include:

- New hires leaving within a year
- Lack of trust in evaluation systems
- Inadequate leadership development
- A mismatch between corporate ideals and operational realities

These issues often stem from disorganized management decision-making criteria rather than simply flawed HR practices. This seminar encourages participants to reframe employee retention not merely as an HR issue but as a fundamental management design challenge.

Why is Sustainable Management Design Necessary Now?

As labor shortages worsen, more companies are ramping up their hiring processes. However, merely increasing hiring activities will not resolve underlying problems. The lack of retention is often linked to various factors, such as:

- Inconsistent management policies
- Ambiguous evaluation criteria
- Disconnect between ideals and real-world decision-making
- Misalignment of criteria among executives

Employee retention is not solely determined by salary levels and benefits packages; rather, it hinges on whether employees feel they can make meaningful decisions within their company. To ensure this belief, it becomes imperative to establish a clear order and criteria for management decisions.

Seminar Highlights

During the session, we will cover a variety of topics, including:

- Common structural issues in companies with low retention rates
- Strategies for integrating recruitment and retention into cohesive management design
- Transforming ideals from mere statements to actionable principles
- Understanding why organizations can become self-sustaining when aligned on decision-making criteria
- The five perspectives of favorable management practices

With a focus on practical examples and real-world case studies, this seminar promises to provide actionable insights.
