☑ Background to Program Launch

Fig. 1 Growth Roadmap for PERSOL TEMPSTAFF’s IT Departments

PERSOL HOLDINGS established the three “Group priority strategies” in May 2020 taking up “Innovating through technologies” as one of them. Additionally, as part of the human resources strategy, PERSOL TEMPSTAFF encourages all employees to understand and learn the potential of technology so that they can improve the skills required for “Innovating through technologies.” One of the challenges of DX talent development is to identify the fundamental skills required for promoting the utilization of digital technology and develop a new framework for digital talent development.
Under these circumstances, the IT/DX Division started to expedite the DX talent development plan and accelerated the enhancement of customer value as well as the improvement of work processes. Specifically, it improves project delivery abilities in Step 1, enhances planning capabilities in Step 2, and strengthens development skills in Step 3. Later, a higher level of customer experience is explored in cooperation with the Operation Division in Step 4.
In this initiative, ExaWizards has been providing consultation services combined with exaBase DX Assessment & Learning and other customized courses since 2020 while supporting PERSOL TEMPSTAFF in solving various issues.

The examinee who takes the online test (approx. 30 minutes) receives scores for their abilities in digital technologies and innovation, both of which are indispensable to implementing and promoting DX. Also, their “skills” and “know-how” are simultaneously measured so that the company can identify those ready for duties to promote DX and smoothly create a talent development plan.
The potential of the examinee is identified, and they realize what they can do if the potential is improved while receiving advice on what to do to get higher scores or participating in the talent development programs, and e-learning　optimized for them. In addition to the measurement of individual skills and know-how, exaBase DX Assessment & Learning allows the company to check the online analysis report of the entire organization. In comparison with the data average in the world, the company can figure out its current position vis-a-vis competition for the promotion of DX from an objective standpoint.
