[April 27th and 28th] Announcement of Itoki “CHO Summit 2021 Spring” online seminar presentation

Changing organizations, changing leaders ~New normal human resources strategy~

ITOKI CORPORATION (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshiro Hirai) will be sponsoring the "CHO Summit 2021 Spring," which will be held online for two days on April 27th (Tuesday) and 28th (Wednesday), 2021, and will be speaking at seminars and discussions.

At present, interest in "work styles" is higher than ever due to the spread of the new coronavirus, and the general affairs department is responsible for reviewing the work environment and developing human resources to realize a hybrid work style that includes remote work. This has become an urgent issue for human resources departments and corporate planning departments.

"CHO Summit 2021 Spring" is entitled "Changing organizations, changing leaders - New normal human resource strategy -" and will discuss the state of organizations and human resources in a new era through discussions by CHO/CHROs from leading companies that are tackling these issues and lectures by experts. I'm going to think about it.

In October 2018, ITOKI introduced a new work style called ABW (Activity Based Working), which maximizes workers' discretion and allows workers to autonomously design their own work styles. XORK Style” is operated.

In order to implement a ``work style'' that selects a place that maximizes productivity and creativity, including not only the office but also home and third places, it is necessary to improve the ``work place'' not only in the office space but also in the IT environment, etc., and to improve the environment for employees. Various issues arise, such as developing human resources through mindset and training.

Our company, which has the only business alliance in Japan with Veldhoen+Company, the founder of ABW, will use the learning and knowledge gained through practical experience to solve problems for everyone through this seminar on the themes of "work places" and "work styles." I will give you some tips.

We look forward to your participation.
