“Focus on ONBOARDING and
Remote Employee Training at Post Corona Era”

Co-sponsored by JASCO and COJAC from 3:00 pm on November 11th, 2020

• Seminar information

Onboarding refers to a series of long-term orientation activities when welcoming new employees, and has the effect of reducing the turnover rate of new employees. It is not a one-time explanation, but a system that supports the entire company so that the person can quickly demonstrate his / her ability in the company. As remote work is taking root in Corona, some say that the culture of the company has been lost and the sense of unity among employees has diminished. In this seminar, we will explain that reviewing onboarding has the effect of deepening the engagement and commitment of existing employees as well as new employees and building an in-house brand.

• Purpose of the seminar:

Many Japanese and American companies also have the problem that the sense of unity within the company and the motivation of employees are being lost due to the corona sickness. The current situation is that the various gaps that were filled by face-to-face meetings every day have widened due to remote work, and the company has become disjointed. And there is an urgent need to take measures if this situation persists. This issue is also an urgent issue for American companies and, by extension, Japanese companies operating in the United States.

Therefore, we will hold a seminar focusing on onboarding to increase employee engagement and form a solid in-house brand toward post-corona. The goal is for Japanese companies to align their vectors, establish an in-house brand, and form the Japanese brand for all Japanese companies.

• Challenges for Japanese companies in the United States:

1. a) By not meeting everyone every day, I am worried about the sense of unity within the company.
2. b) Decreased employee motivation
3. c) New hires have been stopped because face-to-face training is no longer possible.
4. d) I don’t know if there is a core local manager
5. e) I feel that the sales force is weakening
