Launching Support Training for Highly Sensitive Employees

ReSkill Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of a new training program designed specifically for managers and mid-level employees. This program, titled “Support Training for Highly Sensitive Employees (HSP),” aims to facilitate a greater understanding of the unique characteristics and needs of highly sensitive people in the workplace. The objective is to create a supportive environment that encourages these individuals to thrive.

Understanding Highly Sensitive People (HSP)

HSP, or Highly Sensitive Person, refers to individuals who possess heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli and emotional environments. Approximately 15-20% of the population may identify as HSP, and they often excel in qualities such as empathy and attention to detail. Nonetheless, their sensitivity can lead to challenges, particularly in conventional work settings filled with stressors and high demands.

Through this training, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to support HSP team members effectively. The program will cover various topics, including:

• - Defining HSP and understanding its four main characteristics (DOES): Depth of processing, Overstimulation, Emotional responsiveness, and Sensitivity to subtleties.
• - Identifying common challenges HSP individuals face in the workplace, such as interpersonal communication difficulties and stress.
• - Addressing misunderstandings and misconceptions related to HSP, ultimately establishing a solid foundation for effective interaction and communication.

Training Goals and Target Audience

The training primarily targets mid-level employees, managers, and supervisors who work directly with HSP colleagues. Participants can expect to achieve the following outcomes:
1. A deepened understanding of HSP and the ability to clarify common misconceptions.
2. The acquisition of specific communication skills tailored to HSP needs, aiding in instruction, feedback, and evaluations.
3. Enhanced sensitivity to signs indicating high stress or workload in HSP individuals, seeking the right balance in offering support without being overbearing.

Three Key Features of the Training

This program emphasizes practical skills development aimed at effectively supporting HSP employees. Its key features include:
1. Understanding HSP Characteristics - Participants will learn about HSP's defining features alongside actionable insights to effectively engage with sensitive team members in the workplace.
