ZenX Fully Launches "ZenStrategy HR": An Organizational and HR Support Service for Growing Companies to Solve the "Organization Lagging Behind Business Growth" Problem

ZenX Inc. has commenced the full-scale rollout of "ZenStrategy HR," an organizational and HR support service targeting DeepTech and fast-growing companies after fund-raising. The service provides comprehensive support from the design of evaluation, grading, and compensation systems aimed at organizational transformation to their actual operation, helping growth companies build the foundation for their next growth phase.

### Background of the Full Rollout In recent years, the number of startups driving technological innovation in fields such as space, AI, materials, healthcare, robotics, and energy has increased rapidly in Japan. However, while funding and recruitment expansion often take precedence, many companies find that their organizational design and HR systems cannot keep up, creating a bottleneck for growth.

Furthermore, while more Japanese DeepTech and digital companies are aiming for global markets, their organizational foundations often remain geared toward domestic standards.

Particularly in the expansion phase from 30 to 300 employees, the following challenges become apparent: - Lack of evaluation systems leads to subjective salary increase decisions. - Retention rates fail to improve after hiring. - Shortage of managers increases the workload on the front lines. - Difficulty in collaboration between R&D and business departments. - Inability to win the competition for top talent. - Organizational structure is not ready for the next funding round or IPO.

To compete globally, companies need not only strategy but a redesign of the organization that implements it.

ZenStrategy HR is being fully launched to eliminate these growth constraints and support the creation of organizational foundations for non-linear growth.

### ZenStrategy HR Service Content Unlike general system consulting, ZenStrategy HR is a support service that goes deep into business strategy, recruitment strategy, and organizational expansion phases to design and implement HR systems in an actionable manner.

**Main Support Areas:** - **Human Resource & Organizational Strategy Design:** Manpower planning linked to business plans, recruitment priority design, and organizational design per growth phase. - **HR System Design:** Grading systems, evaluation systems, compensation systems, and promotion/salary increase standards. - **Management Development:** Training for middle management, role definition for department heads, and establishment of management structures. - **Incentive Design for Growth Companies:** Stock Option (SO) design considering capital policy and dilution, and compensation packages for high-layer recruitment. - **System Implementation & Operational Support:** Evaluation operation support, organizational diagnosis, and retention improvement measures.
