Enhancing Coachability and Preventing Harassment in the Workplace

On September 9, 2026, at 1:00 PM, Humap, operated by Asmark, will host a free online seminar focusing on the growth of coachability within organizations. Under the guidance of certified instructor Masafumi Yamagato from the Japan Harassment Risk Management Association, this seminar aims to address the current challenges faced by managers reluctant to provide feedback due to harassment concerns.

The intricacies of communication between supervisors and subordinates can often lead to misunderstandings, thwarting growth. Many managers experience frustration when their legitimate guidance is misinterpreted as harassment, leading to an increase in tension (referred to as “harahara”) within teams. Conversely, employees may feel neglected (“hohahra”) when feedback is delivered in a way that lacks clarity and directness. Consequently, fostering a culture of trust and feedback within organizations is crucial for sustainable growth and employee retention.

Practical Strategies to Enhance Coachability

This seminar will delve into actionable strategies aimed at improving the coachability of employees and increasing the communication effectiveness of supervisors. Participants will learn how to create an environment where constructive criticism is valued, allowing employees to embrace feedback and utilize it for personal growth. The following key areas will be covered during the event:

• - Understanding Harassment in the Workplace: Where does the line between coaching and harassment lie? By analyzing current examples, participants will gain insights into how to address this complex issue effectively.
• - Defining Coachability: Coachability is characterized by an employee's willingness to receive guidance effectively. The seminar will outline what coachability entails and its importance in modern workplaces.
• - Coachability Assessment: Conduct a coachability check test to evaluate both individual and team dynamics, helping to identify areas for improvement.
• - Training Supervisors: Effective training programs for managerial staff to enhance their communication skills and understanding of employee needs will be discussed.
