Enhancing New Employee Engagement and Retention

On December 11, 2025, the Japan Management Association (NOMA) will host a complimentary online seminar designed specifically for HR and education personnel in companies facing challenges in nurturing and retaining new employees. This informative session will feature guest speaker Masaki Hattori, a specialist in career development, who will provide valuable insights into practical approaches using the career development framework of "Will, Can, Must."

Understanding the Need for Effective Engagement Strategies

In today's fast-paced corporate environment, the engagement and retention of new employees are pivotal for organizational success. Often, newcomers lean towards their individual "Will"—the things they desire to do—without sufficient alignment with the organizational "Musts." This disconnect can lead to heightened turnover rates. Therefore, it is essential to address how fresh recruits view their roles and responsibilities through the lens of "Will," "Can," and "Must."

The seminar aims to equip attendees with strategies to effectively bridge this gap, ensuring that these employees not only embrace their roles but also contribute positively to the organization.

What to Expect from the Seminar

During the seminar, participants will delve into several key areas:

1. Identifying Development Challenges through Will, Can, Must:
- Examining the tendency for younger employees to prioritize their "Will" over organizational needs.
- Exploring the implications of the gap between "Must" and "Will" that often results in attrition.

2. Career Formation in the Era of 100-Year Lifespans:
- Discussing why individuals usually solidify their "Will" around the ages of 35 to 40.
- Emphasizing the importance of focusing on "Musts" for young employees is critical for effective career development.

3. Connecting Organizational Goals with Individual Aspirations:
- Practical methods to enhance work engagement.
- Techniques for creating a framework that supports organizational engagement while meeting personal objectives.

Who Should Attend?

This seminar is highly beneficial for:

• - Organizations seeking to improve their new employees' retention rates.
• - Companies encountering difficulties in the successful onboarding of new hires.
• - Entities experiencing high turnover due to gaps in employee expectations versus corporate requirements.
• - Those interested in implementing fresh career training programs.
• - Organizations looking to reassess and enhance their current development frameworks for younger and mid-career professionals.
