Our HR Consulting Practice assists organizations in implementing a well-thought out strategy and activities in three main work streams surrounding employee dismissals or downsizing in Japan—legal; HR cost management, budgeting, & security; and communications.

On the legal aspect, we first help clients understand the basics of the Japanese labor laws and other employment regulations in layman's term. We work with labor lawyers or certified labor consultants in order to ensure that the legal advise and assistance we provide to our clients are up-to-date and relevant.

We then work with your top management or HR Department in order to develop a robust strategy and plan to consider the tactical aspects of employee dismissals or downsizing such as cost management techniques, development of Early Retirement Plans (ERP), budgeting, & security management.

When it comes to the implementation stage, we assist our clients in the communications aspect of employee dismissals or downsizing which we believe is as important as the preceding two stages.

We do this by helping clients develop communication scripts, Q&A Forum, and one-on-one coaching with relevant people tasked to do the dismissals.

If needed, we can also provide Outplacement Support Services (e.g., career counseling/ coaching) to affected employees in order to help them in their career transitions.
