Miidas Inc., a company under the Pasona Group with the vision of 'Work. Smile.' (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kiyoshi Goto; hereinafter 'the Company'), has certified the first cohort of nine facilitators to promote the 'Human Capital Management Game,' an initiative aimed at enhancing corporate understanding and fostering practical implementation of human capital management.

This initiative aims to transform human capital management from a mere concept into an actionable framework that companies can adapt and apply directly within their own organizational contexts, grounded in the philosophy of 'People First at Work.'

▼ The Era Demanding Practical Human Capital Management

Amid declining labor populations, increasing workforce mobility, and evolving job roles due to AI advancements, companies are now expected not only to 'secure talent' but also to shift toward management strategies that 'maximize the value of each individual employee.' In this context, 'human capital management' has emerged as a critical theme directly linked to corporate value enhancement. However, many companies still struggle to move beyond conceptual understanding and translate it into concrete, on-the-ground practices.

In recent years, demand has also grown for tiered training programs that connect human capital management to practical application—such as 'mindset transformation for next-generation leaders and managers' and 'deepening organizational understanding among new hires.' Companies face diverse organizational challenges, creating a need for more practical and customizable learning opportunities tailored to their unique contexts.

▼ The 'Human Capital Management Game': Building Practical Understanding Through Experiential Training

To address these challenges, the Company has developed the 'Human Capital Management Game' as a bridge from 'understanding' to 'action.' This training program is designed to allow executives, HR professionals, and frontline managers to simulate the relationship between human capital investment and business outcomes. Participants experience firsthand how HR initiatives—such as hiring, placement, and development—affect sales and profitability, gaining practical insights through decision-making processes closely mirroring real-world business operations. By providing opportunities to 'apply learning to their own company,' the program supports the development of self-sustaining organizations capable of independently driving human capital management.

What is the 'Human Capital Management Game'?

In this game, participants manage a company over a simulated three-year period using only 'investments in people'—such as 'hiring,' 'redeployment,' and 'HR initiatives.' The design enables participants to experience, in game format, how 'HR decisions' impact talent allocation and business metrics, gaining tangible insights into how HR strategies affect corporate profits, turnover rates, and employee engagement.

▼ Facilitator Development Initiative and the Launch of the First Cohort

To expand the reach of this initiative to more companies, the Company has advanced efforts to train and certify facilitators responsible for conducting and managing the 'Human Capital Management Game.'

Nine individuals have now completed the required training and examinations and have been certified as the first cohort of facilitators, officially beginning their activities. These facilitators are based not only in Tokyo but across Japan, enabling both online delivery and offline sessions in various regions according to corporate needs.

By having each facilitator closely engage with companies' unique organizational challenges and lead training from a professional perspective, the Company has established a robust framework capable of addressing multifaceted and precise problem-solving—from enhancing managerial capabilities among leadership to strengthening engagement among younger employees.
