[Background] Increasing Foreign Employment and Workplace Challenges
Amidst a labor shortage, the employment of foreign staff is expanding. However, many workplaces face communication challenges such as:
* Instructions not being accurately conveyed
* Explanations leading to varied understandings
In response to these challenges, "Easy Japanese" has been gaining attention.
What is "Easy Japanese"?
It is a form of Japanese expressed using words and grammar that are easily understood by foreigners. Its spread as an accurate and clear means of information transmission began after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995. Today, it is utilized in a wide range of fields, including administration, healthcare, and tourism.
What is the "Easy Japanese Leader Level 2 Course"?
This course is a program designed to train "Yasanichi Leaders®," individuals who can systematically learn the basics of "Easy Japanese" and implement and expand it in the workplace.
After approximately one hour of video lectures and passing an online test, a digital badge certificate is issued. Furthermore, training slide materials can be downloaded, which can be utilized for educational development within the workplace.
