Meanwhile, on the front lines, the concern is emerging that "even if we prepare systems, it does not lead to proactive behavioral changes or retention of young employees." Behind this issue lies a "gap in values" between companies and young employees. Company side: "We want them to grow within the training systems we have prepared." Young employees (Gen Z): "I want to link my desired future self with my work (finding meaning)." This "disconnect" is precisely the structural challenge in modern organizations. Seminar Content In this seminar, we will unravel the Persol Group's "Working Well-being" and human capital strategies while explaining the transition from conventional training. By breaking away from the traditional "teach and evaluate (recruitment and training type)" approach, we will provide practical hints for a paradigm shift to a "career accompanying type" that sincerely engages with individual careers, along with specific dialogue techniques practiced in the field. This is aimed at all organizations wishing to draw out employee proactivity, not limited to Gen Z. Recommended for: - Executives and management who feel challenged by their company's retention rate - HR and HRBPs who want to understand Gen Z's values and views on careers to apply them to training - Those who frequently receive consultations about training young employees from frontline managers - Those who want to know specific ways of interacting and systems to encourage "career autonomy" Event Overview Date and Time: Thursday, April 23, 2026, 11:00-12:00 Venue: Zoom Meeting Participation Fee: Free Target Audience: Corporate HR personnel, HRBPs *Participation by competitors is strictly declined.
