May 20 (Wed) | NOKIOO to Speak at 'HR Conference 2026 -Spring-' Hosted by Nihon no Jinjibu! Learning 'Designing Management Experience Where Action Changes Mindset' from Training Data of 300 Female Leaders

NOKIOO Inc. (Headquarters: Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Kenzo Ogawa) will take the stage at the 'HR Conference 2026 -Spring-' hosted by Nihon no Jinjibu (Japan HR Department), delivering a presentation on the theme 'Learning from the training data of 300 female leaders: Designing management experiences where action changes mindsets'.

Since 2020, NOKIOO has been engaged in female leader development, supporting over 300 individuals. In this presentation, based on their track record and the changes observed through surveys of the women they have trained, they will introduce practical examples of how designing management experiences before candidates become managers allows them to naturally take the next step forward.

## The Barrier to Developing Female Managers is Not Just 'Personal Motivation'
While the number of companies striving to develop female managers is increasing, candidates themselves often harbor anxieties such as 'Can I do it?' or 'Can I balance it with my personal life?'. On the front lines, it is not uncommon for promotions to stall due to a lack of proper involvement from supervisors or insufficient practical opportunities.
NOKIOO has supported over 300 women in their leadership development since 2020. What has become clear through this support is that the challenge of developing female managers 'is not solely caused by the individual's motivation or resolve, but also by a lack of opportunities to experience management before becoming a manager.'
This trend is evident from surveys conducted on women trained by NOKIOO so far.

Changes reported after the training include:
- The subject of work shifted from 'I' to 'Team'
- Increased actions such as asking for help from supervisors and peers, involving others, and delegating
- Reconceptualizing the management position not as a 'role to shoulder alone' but as a 'role to achieve results by combining strengths with those around them'

These voices from the field indicate that to advance female management training, it is crucial not only to build the individual's motivation but also to design practical opportunities and involve the company and supervisors appropriately.

## Event Overview | How to Design 'Experiences that Change Behavior'
In this presentation, based on the training data of 300 female leaders, we will discuss training methods that change behaviors rather than just mindsets. In particular, we will explain the design process of how to have candidates accumulate management experience before they become managers. We will introduce ways for the company and supervisors to engage so that candidates can naturally view management as a viable career option.
