Recruitment Starts for 2nd Cohort of "CHO Training Course," a Driver of Well-being Management. Fostering "New Management Talent" to Enhance Corporate Value from Employee Happiness - General Incorporated Association for Supporting Happy People and Organizations

The General Incorporated Association for Supporting Happy People and Organizations has started recruiting for the second cohort of its "CHO Training Course," which trains specialized professionals known as "CHO (Chief Happiness Officer)" to promote corporate Well-being Management.

Currently, "Well-being Management," which aims to enhance organizational vitality and corporate value by focusing on employee happiness, is gaining increasing attention in corporate management.
CHO is a new type of management professional who improves employee happiness, engagement, and psychological safety, leading to increased productivity, higher retention rates, and revitalized organizations.

In an era of recruitment difficulties, young employee turnover, exhausted managers, and diversifying values, companies are strongly urged to "design and implement a management system for an organization where people can work vibrantly," rather than just offering welfare benefits or temporary measures. While major companies in Europe and the US are already adopting this approach, its implementation is still limited in Japan, and widespread adoption is yet to come.

This course is a practical program developed by Mr. Shoyo Oshima, a former McKinsey consultant with practical experience as an HR development manager and CHO at a major retailer.
Participants will systematically learn about "designing and implementing Well-being Management" that leads to business results, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The course covers a wide range of areas such as corporate value permeation, dialogue-based organizational development, human capital management, mental health, happiness studies, and leadership development, connecting them cross-functionally to cultivate CHOs as practitioners who can contribute to management.

● Main Target Audience

・Executives and senior management
・HR managers and corporate representatives who wish to promote Well-being Management and Human Capital Management
・Individuals who want to provide corporate support as external CHOs or organizational consultants

Participants can not only play an active role as in-house CHOs but also pursue a career as an "external CHO," an external partner specializing in human capital management.

● What you will gain from this course

・Understanding the role and overall picture of CHO
・Basic theories and practical knowledge of happiness management and Well-being Management
・Foundation for working as an in-house CHO or external CHO

● Recommended for those who want to

・Create an organization where employees can work vibrantly
・Implement fundamental measures against turnover, exhaustion, and declining engagement
・Learn the practical skills to balance organizational happiness and results

The instructor, Mr. Shoyo Oshima, is a leading expert in human resource development and organizational transformation. In addition to his consulting achievements in management, HR, and organizational fields at McKinsey and Watson Wyatt, he has a track record of organizational development and consciousness transformation support for over 5,000 teams and 40,000 individuals. Furthermore, as an HR development manager and CHO at operating companies, he has enhanced engagement and well-being for people and organizations, leading them to results.

Mr. Naoe Chiyozuru, Representative Director of the same general incorporated association, states: "Companies where employees can work happily are ultimately strong companies. The role of CHO is a 'new management practice' that bridges human happiness and corporate results. As a pioneer in the spread of CHO in Japan, we want to create the future together with ambitious leaders."

Free information sessions are currently being held. While there is a screening process for applications, several participants have already applied, and enrollment will close once the capacity is reached.
