Location: SSK Seminar Room, 4th Floor, Zaimax Nishi-Shimbashi Building, 2-6-2 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato, Tokyo

Instructor: Takahisa Saito, HR Consultant at Saito Social Insurance Labor Consultant Office

This seminar titled "Understanding HR Evaluation Systems: Basics and Operations" will explore crucial elements of HR systems, emphasizing their practical design and implementation. With HR systems serving as the backbone of any organization, neglecting their operation can lead to a breakdown of the system itself. Particularly, this seminar focuses on the three fundamental components: the ranking system, evaluation system, and wage system. A well-structured system should be easy for management to operate, which does not need to be overly complicated.

As we navigate through ongoing labor reforms, it is vital to consider the implications of equal pay for equal work. The seminar will discuss how limited full-time employment may emerge as a potential solution in this context.
