<About this WISE Project>
The WISE Project has started in June 2016. This project is not only conducted by JPC members but also local members who are keen on studying and implementing workplace improvement and employee satisfaction for local companies. To begin with, we have set 10 days to learn the basic skills for consultation, analysis of Employee satisfaction survey and Kaizen methods for WISE project. From July 4, 2016, the local members are divided into 4 teams and started analyzing the issues for the 4 local pilot companies together with Japanese coaches. For 3 months, the local member together with the employee's team for the pilot company built for this project has conducted the action plan prepared from the analysis. This project plans to implement this to total 16 local companies in 2 years.
