Transforming Organizations Through Engagement

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the importance of employee engagement cannot be overstated. Companies are increasingly realizing that fostering a culture of engagement is not just beneficial but essential for promoting a thriving workplace. The upcoming webinar, hosted by Pasona's CHO Association, titled "Understanding Organizational Transformation: Challenges from Engagement Activities of NIPPON Paint Group," aims to delve deep into this crucial topic.

Scheduled for January 22, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM (JST), this online event promises to provide valuable insights into overcoming common challenges associated with employee engagement initiatives. Despite widespread acknowledgment of the need for enhanced workplace engagement, many organizations find themselves stuck in a cycle of administering engagement surveys, without any significant actions leading to lasting change.

The seminar features a presentation by Mr. Hosoyamada from NIPPON Paint Automotive Coatings' Management Planning Department. He will shed light on their engagement promotion project that saw participation from about 10% of employees, illustrating how voluntary participation was crucial in this success. More importantly, he will discuss the underlying questions: "Why did people engage?" and "How did empathy spread within the organization?" These insights are invaluable for companies looking to understand the motivational factors behind employee involvement.

To enrich the discussion, the webinar will also host Associate Professor Matsui from Osaka University, who brings a wealth of knowledge from psychology and organizational behavior. His expertise will help assemble a coherent process that makes grassroots organizational transformation effective. The event promises to reveal reproducible strategies for organizational change, informed by real-world examples that showcase ethical practices in implementing transformation.
