■ Decision to Introduce to Promote a Comfortable Working Environment Through Data-Based Personnel Placement and Development
In Arakawa Ward, we are working to improve the capabilities of our staff so that we can provide tailor-made services that are close to each resident, based on a high awareness as public service professionals.
However, some of the personnel evaluations were managed using paper and Excel, which took time and effort for distribution, collection, and aggregation of documents.
Furthermore, information such as staff transfers, promotion selection, and training history was dispersed, making the optimization of personnel placement a challenge.
To promote the creation of a comfortable working environment by centrally managing employee personnel information, evaluation results, training history, and qualification information, and by realizing data-based personnel placement and development, "Talent Palette" has been introduced.
■ Aiming to improve the quality of resident services by strengthening employee retention and recruitment activities through the utilization of AI and human resource data.
The introduction of Talent Palette will not only streamline HR operations through the digitization of paper-based tasks but also enable human resource development by effectively utilizing evaluation results and skill information.
Furthermore, by utilizing human resource data and AI-driven transfer simulations for personnel placement, which was previously done manually by staff considering planned maternity/paternity leave, sick leave status, return-to-work plans, and promotion schedules, we aim to streamline placement operations and contribute to creating a work environment where employees can thrive by reflecting their desires and aptitudes with higher accuracy.
Through optimal personnel placement utilizing AI, early detection of employee turnover indicators, and career development support, we will aim to strengthen employee retention and recruitment activities, leading to an improvement in the quality of services for residents.
