\nIn recent years, many companies have been facing challenges such as pre-employment anxiety among prospective employees and a decline in engagement due to mismatches after joining the company. Furthermore, as interest in sustainability grows, especially among Generation Z, a new training perspective \u2014 how to have them perceive social issues as their own matter \u2014 is increasingly required.
\nIn response to this situation, we implemented a unique \u201cCo-Creation\u201d training program over six months, using T-shirts made from \u201cROOPS,\u201d a sustainable material developed through the \u201cNO WASTE PROJECT\u201d material recycling scheme, to encourage active participation by prospective employees and deepen their sense of belonging and understanding of the company. This training has produced solid results, with participants giving positive feedback such as, \u201cI was able to build strong bonds of trust with my peers\u201d and \u201cI no longer feel anxious about joining the company.\u201d
\nIn order to apply the knowledge gained through this in-house training to solving the challenges of more companies, we collaborated with artience Co., Ltd., a company specializing in organizational development. By combining our expertise in \u201cmanufacturing\u201d and \u201csustainability\u201d with artience\u2019s knowledge of organizational development, we have packaged the core experiential value of the six-month training into a program that can be implemented in just one day. This initiative aims to help many companies solve their organizational challenges.<\/p>\n
\nFeature 1: A Co-Creation Program Where Prospective Employees Themselves \u201cCreate\u201d<\/strong>
\nInstead of a pre-set curriculum, the program emphasizes a process in which prospective employees repeatedly engage in discussions and shape their ideas into an \u201coriginal design T-shirt.\u201d This proactive crafting experience builds deep relationships of trust with peers and fosters a sense of success that \u201cwe were able to achieve this because of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThese T-shirts are made of \u201cROOPS,\u201d a sustainable material derived from fabric cutting scraps, created through our unique material recycling scheme \u201cNO WASTE PROJECT.\u201d By directly handling environmentally friendly materials and experiencing the process of producing only the quantity needed through on-demand printing, participants learn about sustainability in a hands-on way as their own matter.<\/p>\n
\nNew employees who experienced our training shared feedback such as: \u201cI wasn\u2019t afraid of April 1 (date of joining the company) at all. Since I was already used to my colleagues and the company, I felt almost no discomfort\u201d; \u201cOn my first day, seeing many familiar faces gave me a great sense of reassurance.\u201d The relationships they built beforehand directly lead to mitigating their reality shock and enhancing their engagement.<\/p>\n
\nTomohiko Hazama, President and CEO, artience Co., Ltd.
\nI was deeply impressed by Takihyo\u2019s attitude of \u201cbelieving in people\u2019s potential and creating value through co-creation,\u201d which led us to undertake this initiative. This program is a groundbreaking system that allows prospective employees to integrate their own unique styles with the company\u2019s unique style and take their first steps as proactive members of an organization. We hope that many companies will make use of this program and revitalize their organizations.<\/p>\n
