Enhancing Employee Engagement with AI: Shinwart's Kokorepo

In a significant move to bolster employee engagement, Shinwart Co., Ltd. has announced the addition of an AI analytical feature to its cloud-based employee engagement support service, Kokorepo. This enhancement, slated for release on October 29, 2026, aims to foster a higher level of self-care awareness among employees by identifying changes they may not notice themselves.

AI Analytical Feature: A Closer Look

The recently introduced AI analytical feature leverages the survey responses registered by employees and the results from AI-driven facial expression analysis. This combination allows AI to automatically assess shifts in employees' conditions, delivering insightful reports directly to them on a weekly and monthly basis via a dedicated smartphone app. Not only does this function promote earlier recognition of personal changes for employees, but it also alleviates the workload for managers who traditionally oversee these aspects. This dual benefit addresses recurring challenges such as overlooking signs of change and providing inconsistent support to individual employees.

1. Continuous Condition Analysis: AI evaluates survey data from the beginning and end of the workday alongside facial expression analytics to consistently analyze a condition score.

2. Regular Notifications: Employees receive AI-generated analysis comments weekly and monthly, showcasing insights that can inspire them to enhance their self-care awareness.

What is Kokorepo?

Kokorepo serves as a cloud service designed to improve employee engagement. Employees can use a dedicated smartphone app to report their mood and physical condition at the start and end of the workday. This data is fed into an AI system that assesses their vitality based on facial recognition inputs, informing management of any emerging concerns and facilitating constructive dialogue.

Features That Stand Out

The Kokorepo app includes several innovative features:

• - AI Facial Recognition Login: Employees' vitality is assessed at login using AI analysis of their images, determining whether they appear alert or fatigued.

• - Timely Condition Reporting: Registered times and location data create an objective record that keeps track of employees' moods and health status in real time.

• - Consultation and Reporting Features for Managers: The app allows employees to easily contact their managers, fostering open lines of communication.

• - Feedback Utilization: Managers can quickly provide feedback based on registered data viewed through an administrative dashboard.

• - Notification for Interaction Gaps: Alerts regarding periods of uncommunication encourage regular contact, enhancing engagement by allowing management to acknowledge employees’ achievements frequently.

• - Small Start Implementation: To ease the transition, the app supports incremental adoption, helping managers in teams or departments that face communication challenges.
