Givin' Back is currently piloting this platform within large corporations, reinforcing their educational prowess and striving for a society where individual potential can be realized and growth can be relished.
Addressing Developmental Challenges
Reflecting on her past, Kinoshita recalls moments from her early career when young employees expressed feelings of stagnation. This gap highlights a disconnect; while younger individuals struggle with their growth trajectories, many managers lack the toolkit to effectively foster their development.
Through in-depth interviews, Givin' Back identified three core problems facing employee development today.
1. Young professionals struggle with the perception of growth.
2. Managers feel uncertain about effective coaching methods.
3. Japan's current standing in international workforce rankings reveals significant gaps in values and approaches.
