Understanding New Employee Training Challenges

In a rapidly evolving workplace environment, the challenges of training new employees have become increasingly complex. As organizations strive to adapt to changing work dynamics, many are left wondering why their training programs do not yield the desired outcomes. On November 12, 2025, NEWONE, a consulting firm based in Tokyo, will hold an online seminar featuring Prof. Jun Nakahara from Rikkyo University. The seminar, titled "Why Does New Employee Training Often Fail?", aims to shed light on the state of new employee development today, providing valuable insights into how organizations can improve their training frameworks.

The importance of effective onboarding cannot be overstated. According to recent trends, many companies report an initial success in training programs but observe stagnation or high turnover among new employees. Factors such as shifts in work culture, the prevalence of remote communication, and multifaceted issues surrounding recruitment and workplace environments complicate the training landscape. Organizations face the reality that the traditional methods of employee development may not suffice in addressing modern challenges.

Background of the Seminar

A noticeable increase in HR professionals expressing frustrations with new employee training has been documented. Many organizations recognize the necessity for individualized training yet struggle to implement such approaches due to limitations in resources and personnel. As a result, the efforts put forth during initial training often fail to translate into long-term success, leading to early attrition and declining engagement levels among new hires.

In this context, the seminar will explore the pivotal question: "Why does new employee development often falter?" Prof. Nakahara will conduct an interview that reveals effective design strategies and share case studies from various companies that have successfully navigated these challenges. The goal is to provide actionable insights into fostering individualized training without overburdening the workforce.

Target Audience

This seminar is highly recommended for:

• - HR professionals contemplating a reevaluation of their employee training frameworks but unsure where to begin.
• - Organizations that wish to rethink their training design to ensure ongoing application and effectiveness.
• - Companies concerned about high turnover rates and low employee engagement, seeking to revisit their new hire programs.
