We would like to introduce some of the contents of this issue, so if you are in charge of human resources or employee development, please check it out. KaWaL Diagnostics x learningBOX KaWaL Diagnostics" is a questionnaire-type evaluation and analysis tool provided by Change that visualizes the abilities of young employees in comparative graphs and charts. By integrating "KaWaL Diagnosis" into learningBOX ON and building a platform that combines the services of both companies, we will strengthen our support for the training of young employees and other personnel in all types of companies and organizations. ≫ Click here for more details about KaWaL Diagnosis × learningBOX Back to Table of Contents What is "KaWaL Diagnostics?" KaWaL Diagnosis" is a questionnaire-type evaluation and analysis tool provided by Change. It diagnoses the "three abilities (action, thinking, and teamwork)" and "12 ability elements" of the "basic skills for working adults" advocated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, from the perspective of both the individual and the person in charge of training. Diagnostic results are compiled into comparative graphs and charts, making it possible to visualize the abilities of young people. Reference] Basic Skills for Working People (METI/Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) Evaluation and analysis tools that use specific behavioral standards (performance standards) as a scale minimize blurring caused by subjectivity and realize objective diagnosis. By conducting the diagnosis multiple times, such as after the employee has been offered a job, after joining the company, and at the end of the first year, strengths, weaknesses, growth issues, and differences in perception between the employee and the person in charge of training can be analyzed and used for the employee's "future personal development and career formation". Back to Table of Contents Some of the Functions Supervisor Evaluation KaWaL diagnoses are not only subjective, but also highly objective, as they are conducted from the perspective of the supervisor (person in charge of training). By having the supervisor evaluate the employee using the same items as the employee himself/herself, gaps in perception of abilities can be visualized and appropriate training can be provided. Comparison over time Since the results can be compared with those of past diagnoses, changes in ability can be visualized and used as material for training and human resource allocation. Not only individual but also organizational averages can be analyzed over time. By visualizing the growth process through multiple diagnoses, it is possible to regularly check whether the abilities that need to be developed are really being acquired, and to link this to the next action.

Thank you very much for using our service. We will change the specification of the badge function in learningBOX from the release of Ver. 2.19. Details of the change Until Ver. 2.18, when the same badge was set for multiple contents, the badge was awarded only after the respective conditions for each content were met. With this change, when the same badge is assigned to multiple pieces of content, if any one of the badged pieces of content clears the requirements, the badge will be assigned to all the other pieces of content. This means that you must create a new badge and set up a separate badge for each piece of content. Please refer to "Badge Management" for instructions on how to create a new badge.
