Introduction to Comic Learning

In recent months, Persol Innovation's Comic Learning Company has taken a significant step forward in employee training by introducing its innovative training service, 'Comic Learning,' to the Town Hall staff of Ishikawa Town in Fukushima Prefecture. This initiative involved providing a comprehensive set of 24 training materials aimed at improving skills and enhancing awareness in important topics such as compliance and business etiquette, directly relevant to local government operations.

Background of Implementation

Prior to the introduction of Comic Learning, Ishikawa Town Hall faced challenges related to training opportunities, especially for management positions. In-person training sessions held at their training center limited participation, leading to low engagement and inconsistent training frequency. Consequently, there was a pressing need to address these issues and make learning more accessible for employees.

Recognizing these challenges, the Town Hall administration evaluated options for improving their training programs. They found that Comic Learning's attractive features—its easy-to-understand comic format, flexible learning schedule, and a rich variety of themes relevant to actual work—met the requirements to foster a better learning environment for their employees.

Comments from the Ishikawa Town Hall Staff

According to Ms. Sagawa from the General Affairs Section of the Ishikawa Town Hall, the decision to adopt Comic Learning was driven by the positive feedback received from employees. "We have explored various training formats in the past, and the comic-based training was well-received, creating a very favorable impression. When considering a comprehensive training introduction, we were impressed with the wide range of themes and the ability to tailor content according to each employee's needs and interests," she stated. "Moving forward, we intend to utilize monthly reports to monitor how effectively employees are applying what they've learned to their practical work."
