9 Organizations Nationwide Participate! Link and Motivation Holds Study Session for Improving Engagement in Local Governments and Public Agencies

Link and Motivation Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yoshio Ozasa; Securities Code: 2170) held the 'Study Session for Improving Engagement' for the second consecutive year, together with all nine of its supported organizations: Sapporo City, Miyagi Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, Sanjo City, Sasebo City, Osaka Sayama City, Kato City, Shijonawate City, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Housing Supply Corporation.

Against the backdrop of an aging population with fewer children and diversifying values, securing and retaining human resources in local governments and public agencies has become a major challenge. With a decline in the number of applicants for local civil service positions and an increase in turnover among young staff, there is a greater need than ever to create organizations where each employee can find fulfillment in their work in order to become an 'organization of choice.'

Given this context, attention has been focused on improving employee engagement in recent years. Link and Motivation Inc. leverages its expertise in organizational transformation support cultivated in the private sector to assist local governments and public agencies in their organizational transformation and engagement improvement initiatives.

About the Event

This study session served as a venue for learning about key points for promoting organizational transformation and examples from other organizations, through small-group discussions and information sharing. With an increase in the number of participants compared to the previous year, more specific discussions tailored to the challenges of each organization were possible, creating a learning environment where participants could refer to cases similar to their own.

On the day, participants were divided into groups by size for discussions including case sharing and Q&A sessions. Link and Motivation also provided explanations on improving engagement based on its expertise cultivated through organizational transformation support for private companies and local government organizations.

Feedback from participants included comments such as: 'The initiatives and situations of other local governments felt fresh to our city, making it very helpful for our future operations,' and 'I learned about steady and concrete efforts for improving engagement and would like to positively consider measures we can adopt while comparing them to our organization's current situation.'

Looking Ahead

Based on its track record of supporting both private companies and local governments, the company is strengthening its human resource management support for local governments. It offers comprehensive support ranging from engagement improvement to reforms in recruitment, training, systems, and corporate culture. Furthermore, through surveys based on its support track record, it is clarifying the unique organizational tendencies and actual state of engagement in local governments.
