Preparing for HR 'What Ifs': Launch of 'Omamori HR Manager', a Continuous HR Consultation Service for 50,000 Yen/Month

Empower Inc. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; CEO & CHRO: Kazuki Okamura) has launched "Omamori HR Manager" (Protective Charm HR Manager), a continuous HR consultation service that provides a second opinion from an HR director-class professional. This service targets companies that cannot adequately address HR issues due to the absence of an HR executive or a lack of resources in their HR organization.

This service is primarily aimed at startups and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) struggling with daily HR problem-solving due to cost and resource constraints. It is a continuous HR consultation service that allows anytime access to the knowledge and judgment of HR director-class* professionals for 50,000 yen per month.

In recent years, especially among startups and SMEs, issues such as the following have become apparent in many companies: - Absence of HR director-class personnel with abundant experience. - The situation does not warrant hiring an HR advisor or consultant, but someone to consult with when something happens is desired. - HR team members are not growing due to the lack of a mentor.

On the other hand, HR advisors and consulting services can be very expensive, sometimes costing hundreds of thousands to millions of yen per month. The reality is that even if startups and SMEs want support, the barrier to introduction is often practically too high.

Therefore, our company, which specializes in organizational and HR support for startups and SMEs, developed "Omamori HR Manager" as an HR consultation service that allows companies to obtain necessary, sufficient, and high-quality answers and judgments from HR director-class professionals at a low cost and exactly when needed.

HR Advisors are too heavy. Labor Attorneys are not enough. It is difficult cost-wise to pay high fees to an HR advisor, but consulting labor and social security attorneys, who do not necessarily guarantee a satisfactory level of practical field sense and practical knowledge, leaves something to be desired. This is the optimal service for companies with such concerns.

*The term "HR director-class" in our service refers to personnel who have experience in a position of "HR Director or higher" at an operating company and have borne the responsibility of making judgments on HR issues.
