[6/22 Zoom Event] 'Unconscious Bias' Program Briefing Session

By addressing "unconscious bias," we respect diversity and improve organizational performance!

Are such misconceptions occurring in the workplace? ▼ Female employees with children cannot be entrusted with responsible work ▼ Employees from the 'Yutori' generation lack motivation for challenges ▼ Foreign employees are careless in their work and do not listen ▼ Employees who have been with the company for many years should be promoted over those who have changed jobs These are examples of unconscious bias, which refers to distorted views and assumptions that one may not even be aware of. In recent years, this has become a prominent topic, particularly in the realm of 'Diversity & Inclusion.' Everyone has some form of unconscious bias, which can not only negatively affect workplace relationships but also potentially harm the overall performance of the organization. Franklin Covey Japan will begin offering a new program to understand and address these unconscious biases starting July 21. This high-quality content has been implemented in global companies around the world since 2018. *For more details, please refer to the related materials available for download in PDF format.

There is a policy for human resource development. A training plan for a single year has also been established.

In 2025, AI has become not just a "special tool" but the "infrastructure" of business. Some of the knowledge and skills accumulated so far are being replaced by AI, leading to an era where skill obsolescence is accelerating. "Now that AI can achieve higher accuracy, what should humans learn?" "What changes are expected in the roles of HR and training personnel?" In this seminar, we will refer to trends in talent development overseas and discuss what employees should learn and what trends educators should be aware of in 2026. An expert who supports the design of employee education for over 300 companies annually will explain this. It will be an hour dedicated to learning about the "human skills" that will not be replaced by AI. <We will discuss the following topics> What is the accelerated obsolescence of skills and knowledge due to the emergence of AI? The skills and knowledge to learn in 2026 are these! What changes will occur in the roles of HR and talent development personnel? Specific practical methods.
