Discovering the Essence of Employee Motivation

In the evolving landscape of modern workplaces, the role of a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) has never been more critical. Takashi Ohta, a prominent CHRO at Yumemi, is steering this discussion as he prepares to share his insights during an event titled “Why This Leading CHRO Is Focusing on Employee Motivation Now.” Scheduled for November 21, the event will be hosted at the HR Library, offering both in-person and online participation options.

Ohta's journey in the corporate world has been marked by a steadfast commitment to tangible results. His recent publication titled “The Scientific Methods to Effectively Motivate Employees—26 Skills to Naturally Draw Out Motivation,” co-authored with fellow experts, delves deep into the science of motivation, wellbeing, and employee engagement. The book aims to transform these seemingly abstract concepts into structured, actionable strategies—proving that even emotionally driven aspects of work can be understood through scientific lenses.

The Importance of Results

For Ohta, focusing on achievement has been a guiding principle throughout his career. But as he embarks on this new narrative around motivation, it prompts the question—what triggered this shift? The answer lies in his understanding that motivation is a key driver behind achieving results. Recognizing that talented individuals often disengage without the right environment, Ohta emphasizes the need to investigate the underlying factors that inspire workforce participation.

This event aims to unpack the intricacies behind his book and highlight how understanding motivation can lead to transformative changes in workplaces. Participants will have the unique opportunity to engage with Ohta directly, gaining insights into the foundational messages he hopes to convey through his work.

Interactive Learning Experience

The structure of the event encourages active participation. Following the discussions on motivation and the book's background, attendees will engage in dialogue and practical exercises that enable them to explore what they can implement in their own environments. This interactive approach fosters a collaborative atmosphere where attendees can brainstorm and share insights back at their respective workplaces.
