Kansai Forum] How to change people and organizations, and how to get involved in the workplace? /June 21, 2020, 11:00am-@Kobe, Japan

A panel discussion, "How to Engage in the Workplace to Transform People and Organizations?" will be held within the Chodaikai Gakkai Kansai Forum 2020 (Sunday, June 21, 2020), hosted by LIVERNESS, Inc. (session partner: Duskin Co., Ltd.) will be held. 

Today, as working styles diversify, the workplace environment, the place where people physically gather, is changing. Workplace cleaning is outsourced or left to robots, and teleworkers are increasingly telecommuting and not showing up at the office due to the Corona disaster. On the other hand, in Japan, many people have been familiar with the custom of cleaning together since elementary school, and the concept of 5S, which was born in the manufacturing industry, has not become old-fashioned. What kind of effect does it have on people and organizations when workers themselves are proactively involved in space creation, as in the case of cleaning, for example?　Duskin Inc., a professional in the field of lifestyle and workplace environment improvement, will be joined by a company conducting empirical research on the workplace, as well as a researcher exploring the relationship between people and the greening of space.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, venture companies, and large corporations from various perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
Audience members are invited to attend the conference. Please visit the conference website (see below).
