On July 24, 2026, a free online seminar titled "Understanding HR Risks through Organizational Theory" will be held, featuring Futa Sakai, the CEO of Momentor. Organized by the Japan Risk Communication Association (RCIJ), this event aims to address significant business risks associated with employee behavior on social media, including crises stemming from inappropriate comments and recruitment publicity misfires. The session will emphasize that simply educating individuals about social media etiquette is inadequate; a comprehensive approach focusing on organizational culture is crucial.
Recent data reveals a troubling escalation of social media risks. According to a survey conducted by Teikoku Databank, only 23.2% of companies reported having internal guidelines regarding employees' social media posts. Alarmingly, around 70% of organizations lack proper rules, highlighting a systemic lag in preemptive education and rule establishment within corporate structures.
The seminar will shift the narrative from blaming individual literacy to critically analyzing the deeper organizational culture factors contributing to such issues. It will explore the absence of "imaginative risk assessment" and the excessive sense of belonging among employees, which often leads to unintentional missteps online. Futa Sakai will introduce three pivotal concepts — Integrity, Sense of Social Power, and Moral Disengagement — aiming to provide insights into cultivating a risk-resilient organization.
Futa Sakai, the speaker for this webinar, has a rich background in human resource development, serving as the former head of HR training at DeNA. With extensive experience providing programs across over 350 organizations, including major corporations, startups, national universities, and public agencies, his influence extends significantly. His contributions to business media and YouTube programming have accumulated over 10 million views, underscoring his effectiveness as a thought leader in this field.
