Now that resignation agencies are a hot topic, let's think about how to create a 'workplace where people don't have to quit'

Hello, I am Yuki Nakai from EAP Support Yorokobi Co., Ltd., which supports stress checks and workplace mental health training in Osaka City.

The police raid on the resignation agency 'Momuri' is making headlines

In the last few days, reports that the resignation agency 'Momuri' was raided for unauthorized legal practice (i.e., violation of the Attorney Act) by individuals without legal qualifications have been attracting attention.

Of course, the issue of legal compliance is important. However, as an EAP professional, what concerned me more when seeing this news was the background behind it.

Those who use resignation agencies likely had thoughts like these.

“Even if I speak up, nothing will change anyway.”
“I can't even tell my boss that I want to quit.”

Not “why they quit,” but “why they had no choice but to quit”

We who are involved in EAP (Employee Assistance Program) practice must not end with “resignation = personal reasons.”

The number of years they were enrolled, the department they belonged to, their relationship with their boss, their feelings about their work...
There is always a “relationship with people” in the background of a resignation.

This is something I have felt many times when I was in charge of external consultation desks for companies.
“If only someone had noticed a little sooner,” “If only I could have consulted my boss one step further.”
There are actually many such “voices that never became voices.”

The difference between workplaces where resignation agencies are chosen and those where they are not

Choosing a resignation agency is a kind of 'last resort'.If there had been a consultation desk where they could feel safe within the company, or a foundation of trust in human relationships, they might not have reached that point.

At EAP Support Yorokobi, we provide the following support to companies:

✅ Trend analysis of reasons for resignation (by department, by boss, etc.)
✅ Visualization of psychological safety and workplace relationships
✅ Support for the introduction and operation of 1-on-1s and external consultation desks
✅ Training for managers to develop the 'ability to be consulted'

Through these efforts, we support the creation of 'workplaces where people don't have to quit.'

Because we live in an era where there is a 'hurdle to consultation' in the workplace

“Recently, the number of people resigning has suddenly increased.”
“The reason for resignation is always 'personal reasons,' and I can't see their true feelings.”
Aren't there many company representatives who feel such worries?

There is always a reason for resignation.
But most of the time, it is a 'voice that never becomes a voice.'

That is precisely why, as an EAP professional, I want to help create an 'environment where those voices can be heard.'

In conclusion

This is an era where 'whether you can talk' is more important than 'whether you should quit'.

Before resignation agencies become the go-to choice.
Why not start by creating a 'place where people can talk with peace of mind' both inside and outside the company?
