NPO People Active Life (Headquarters: Osaka Prefecture, hereinafter PAL) conducted team-building training for 108 new employees of Kohnan Shoji Co., Ltd., which operates a home center business.
This training was held immediately after the company's initiation ceremony, marking PAL's first initiative to provide training to the company.
■ Background of Implementation
In recent years, companies have strongly demanded not only 'individual capabilities' but also 'the ability to generate results as a team.' Particularly for new employees, increasing 'psychological safety' and 'mutual understanding' before they are assigned to their departments greatly affects their subsequent growth speed and retention rate.
Kohnan Shoji emphasizes not only 'developing human resources who can be immediately effective in the field' but also 'developing human resources who can produce results as a team,' and PAL's experiential team-building training was adopted as part of this effort.
■ Training Overview
In this training, PAL utilized the 'experiential program (adventure program)' methods it has cultivated in the fields of nature experiences and education, focusing on the following themes:
• Building relationships of trust
• Improving communication skills
• Recognizing roles within the team
• Problem-solving skills through collaboration
Participants tackled tasks in groups, shared successes and failures, and deepened their relationships in an environment where dialogue naturally occurred.
■ State of the Training
On the day of the training, everyone wore the same uniform, creating a unified environment.
Even members meeting for the first time quickly broke the ice, and active exchange of opinions and cooperative behavior were observed.
Furthermore, rather than mere recreation, the training fostered practical skills.
