First Human Resources Conference

On September 4, 2026, a significant gathering titled the First Human Resources Conference will take place at the Sanbou BAR in Shinjuku. This event is designed specifically for executives and HR managers to come together and openly share their actual human resources evaluation standards.

The initiative is presented by Keiei Sanbou Co., Ltd., which operates the business community bar Sanbou BAR and the executive community Sanbou. The event is organized in collaboration with Shirakata Research Institute, Inc., headquartered in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, and its representative, Tetsuya Ishikawa. Participants are encouraged to bring their company’s evaluation criteria and sheets to engage in a candid discussion.

Purpose of the Event

In today’s business environment, it’s common for HR evaluation standards found in books or online to be merely polished examples. Actual standards used in companies are often confidential, limiting the opportunity for executives and HR leaders to explore real practices from other organizations. This conference aims to change that dynamic by providing a platform for genuine exchange.

The theme for this inaugural event is “Let’s Share Human Resources Evaluation Standards”. It’s not just a lesson on the right answers but an opportunity to observe the realities from other businesses, gaining insights that can help evolve one's own standards.

Key Features and Highlights of the Event

• - Sharing and Discussion: Each participant will present their evaluation criteria and sheets, facilitating in-depth discussions about why certain elements are included in evaluations, how results are connected to salaries and bonuses, and experiences of success or failure with their implementation.
• - Facilitated Insights: Led by Hideki Takei from the Shirakata Research Institute, who has extensive experience consulting for small and venture enterprises, the discussions will delve into the nuances of evaluation practices. There will be allowances for masking confidential sections, with participants encouraged to share excerpts. For those without an existing evaluation system, feel free to attend without bringing materials.
