Join Our Upcoming Seminar: Solutions for Employee Retention

On October 1, 2025, Imajina Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, will host a special seminar focused on organizational branding aimed at helping companies address pressing human resource challenges. Targeting executives and HR leaders, the seminar seeks to explore innovative approaches to mitigating the alarming trends in employee turnover.

Why This Seminar Matters

Japan is facing a critical talent shortage that is becoming increasingly pressing. According to recent statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, approximately 34.9% of recent university graduates leave their jobs within three years, while the figure rises to 38.4% for high school graduates. Such a high turnover rate is alarming, indicating that many companies still struggle with their employee retention strategies.

Several organizations witness the same problems: “Employees leave shortly after being hired,” “The company’s philosophy does not resonate on the ground,” and “Managers are becoming exhausted.” These common challenges have persisted, suggesting that merely revising salaries or benefits may not be enough to find a genuine resolution.

To tackle these issues, Imajina is introducing a practical seminar that employs insights from organizational psychology and behavioral economics. This seminar will focus on strategies to cultivate employee engagement through a human-centric branding methodology.

Addressing Common HR Challenges

The seminar aims to resolve three prevalent HR issues:

1. The Costly Cycle of High Turnover

Recent hires cost companies significantly, yet high turnover rates result in financial losses that impede these investments.

2. Disconnect Between Philosophy and Practice

A gap between executives’ visions and frontline employees’ understanding can hinder organizational unity, affecting overall performance.

3. Overworked Managers

With increasing responsibilities, managers often lack time for personnel development, leading to stagnated organizational growth.

By tackling these challenges through an organizational branding perspective, the seminar will highlight actionable methods to create a more engaged work environment.
