hitohinto Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Chika Ohno), the provider of the AI tool 'HitoHinto' for promoting self-understanding and mutual understanding, will launch 'HitoHinto CARD for Team,' a new people management tool that integrally supports member career design, deep mutual understanding within teams, and continuous management that leverages individual strengths, on April 15, 2026.
Based on over 30,000 pieces of life episode data and two patents, the AI organizes hints on strengths, values, sources of motivation, and interaction styles from members' life episodes, providing a system that can be utilized for self-understanding, mutual understanding, 1-on-1s, and daily management.
Why do teams struggle?
Teams struggle because members work together with only a superficial understanding of each other.
Impressions from daily work, job histories, and personality tests alone do not reveal the experiences through which a person has developed their values and strengths, or the interaction styles that help them perform at their best. This shallow understanding leads to misalignments in communication, perception, delegation, and development.
In our organizational development support to date, we have repeatedly confirmed with data that an employee's feeling of 'being understood by my boss' is more directly linked to increased engagement than the content of daily tasks, how work is delegated, or the quality of feedback.
However, despite this being the most crucial foundation for team building, there is a reality that managers hesitate to delve deeper for fear of harassment risks when trying to get to know their subordinates well. As a result, various surveys show that about 60% of members feel they are not understood by their superiors while they work.
Therefore, we developed 'HitoHinto CARD for Team' as a system to promote self-understanding and mutual understanding and to apply that understanding to daily 1-on-1s and management.
What is 'HitoHinto CARD for Team'?
'HitoHinto CARD for Team' is a people management tool that supports member life and career design, deep mutual understanding within the team, and continuous management that leverages individual strengths, all within a single system.
Its key feature is that it not only deepens individual members' self-understanding but also allows that understanding to be shared within the team and continuously applied to daily management and 1-on-1s.
1. Support for member's life and career design
It is equipped with functions to support self-understanding, making it easy for members themselves to organize their past experiences, values, and desired future self.
With the 'Work Aesthetics Diagnosis,' users can start by lightly visualizing the values they cherish at work in an enjoyable way. With the 'Life Journey Card,' by turning impressive life experiences into cards, our patented AI personal analysis function organizes strengths, values, and sources of motivation, deepening the understanding of one's own personality.

2. Promote deep mutual understanding in the team by sharing life episodes
The design allows visualized values and life experiences not to end with the individual, but to lead to mutual understanding within the team.
By sharing the results of the 'Work Aesthetics Diagnosis' and 'Life Journey Cards' within the team, it becomes easier for members, as well as superiors and subordinates, to understand each other's differences and backgrounds.
We also explain how to conduct workshops that promote deep mutual understanding, cultivated from our experience with over 30,000 life episodes.

3. Continue management that leverages individual strengths
Interaction styles tailored to each individual can be utilized in ongoing management, not just as a one-off.
The 'AI Profile for Individual Understanding' generated by the AI allows managers to grasp each member's strengths, values, and the interaction styles that help them perform at their best. Furthermore, through the '1-on-1 Record' and daily condition tracking functions, dialogues and changes are continuously accumulated. By updating the 'Life Journey Card' during regular interviews, it enables management that supports growth as a continuous line, not just as disconnected points.
In addition, management tips based on a strong track record in organizational development are also available exclusively to managers using the team function.

Comment from the CEO
The reality is that while many managers want to understand and develop their subordinates, they are often caught up in daily tasks and lack the time and means to get to know each person deeply.
In the field of organizational development support, we have repeatedly and quantitatively confirmed, based on data rather than intuition, that an employee's 'feeling of being understood by their superior' is the most crucial foundation for engagement and psychological safety.
'HitoHinto CARD for Team' was developed from the desire to support such deep understanding of subordinates not as something only a few exceptional managers can achieve, but as a system that anyone in any team can easily practice.
We hope to increase the number of workplaces where every member can work while leveraging their own individuality.
