Partnership to Enhance Job-Based Organization and Human Capital Management Effectiveness

B-Connect Inc., a subsidiary of Business Coach Co., Ltd. headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has entered into a partnership with Job-Us Co., Ltd., which provides AI-driven services for building and operationalizing job-based organizations. This collaboration aims to combine B-Connect's expertise in human resources development and organizational growth with Job-Us's innovative AI solutions for job-based organizational frameworks.

Background and Purpose of Partnership

In recent times, many Japanese businesses have been advancing toward job-based HR systems that support sustainable growth and promote individual career autonomy. The Japanese government is backing this trend with guidelines for job-based human resource management set forth by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

However, challenges have surfaced, notably termed as the 'operational valley,' where companies face issues like job descriptions becoming mere formalities, fairness in job evaluations, and establishing these systems on the frontlines effectively.

Job-Us stands out as the only domestic service providing effective solutions leveraging AI to tackle these job-based operational challenges. They facilitate the creation and utilization of job descriptions, job evaluations, and various HR processes through their service, enabling a streamlined approach based on a solid job infrastructure.

The goal of this partnership is to support a smooth transition to job-based structures in Japanese firms, ensuring efficient operations along with ongoing human resource and organizational development support in a one-stop manner.

Key Value Propositions from Collaboration

- Comprehensive Support for Data-Driven Strategy Implementation: By utilizing job data structured through Job-Us services, combined with B-Connect’s business coaching insights for execution, organizations can achieve transformative data-driven changes.
- Solutions for Job-Based Operational Challenges: The partnership aims to provide concrete solutions for overcoming operational hurdles, enhancing the effectiveness of the job-based HR system.
- Growth Promoted Through Business Coaching: By leveraging B-Connect's expertise in coaching, the collaboration will promote individual growth within a job-based organizational setup while also helping fill gaps relative to job roles through targeted development initiatives.

Future Outlook

Moving forward, both companies plan to jointly hold seminars and engage in cross-selling by utilizing each other’s customer bases. They will also deepen collaborations with HR consultants associated with B-Connect to drive larger-scale projects related to job-based system implementation and management. Through this partnership, both companies aim to contribute significantly to the advancement of human capital management among Japanese businesses.
