Background of the Expansion: The Need for 'High-Quality Human Capital Investment Linked to Management Strategy' On March 23, 2026, the Cabinet Secretariat, the Financial Services Agency, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry released the 'Human Capital Visualization Guidelines (Revised Edition).' The guidelines point out that it is important not only to increase the volume of investment but also to 'expand high-quality human capital investment' that leads to the improvement of corporate value. Furthermore, there is a strong demand to go beyond superficial engagement score measurements by setting and visualizing indicators to grasp the progress of talent strategies aimed at addressing company-specific management issues.

Evidence of 'Psychological Capital' in Enhancing Performance and Creativity The engine for concrete performance improvement and behavioral change in employees is 'Psychological Capital.' Psychological Capital is the mental energy required to continue thinking and acting positively, consisting of four elements: 'Hope' (willpower and pathways), 'Efficacy' (confidence and trust), 'Resilience' (the power to overcome), and 'Optimism' (flexible optimism). Academic research has shown that employees with higher Psychological Capital are more likely to demonstrate performance and creativity, and are less likely to intend to resign. For companies to grow sustainably and practice high-quality human capital investment, developing, measuring, and visualizing this Psychological Capital is an extremely effective approach.

'HEROIC Diagnosis' Action Expansion Promotes Data-Driven Concrete Behavioral Change 'HEROIC Diagnosis' is a diagnostic tool that scientifically visualizes an employee's 'Psychological Capital' and 'Behavioral Tendency Type' to grasp the state of the organization and the individual in three dimensions. Unlike typical surveys that end once the results are known, this diagnosis emphasizes promoting individual behavioral change and adopts a mechanism where a feedback report is shared with the examinee immediately after they complete the questionnaire.

In this update, the 'Recommended Habits/Tasks' proposed in the feedback report tailored to the examinee's individual state have been significantly expanded from 90 to 250 types, an increase of approximately three times. With a richer set of actions proposed based on mental state (Psychological Capital) and behavioral characteristics, it is now easier to find the optimal next step (prescription) for each individual. Because it allows for the creation of concrete action plans that can be started immediately without relying on intuition, it provides powerful support for ensuring employee 'behavioral change' and the improvement of Psychological Capital.
