[Column] Why do wage reforms in small and medium-sized enterprises always fail?

I would like to introduce a column article.

This is because it does not view wage reform as a company-wide strategy. By only looking at the aspects of the wage system, the essential themes of management do not become visible. The theme that many managers are struggling with is the reform of the profit structure through the variable cost of labor. No matter how much the wage system is revised, if the source of funds does not increase, bonuses will not increase. To increase the source of funds, performance must be examined; otherwise, it will not grow. To be satisfied with evaluations, it is difficult to accept evaluation criteria given by others. Therefore, employees should be allowed to create evaluation criteria based on this period's management policies and goals. For employees, wages are a theme where they are the protagonists. It does not work well because managers struggle alone.
