Attuned Includes Japan Localized Version of Internationally-Recognized Engagement Tool in New Premium Model Release
Attuned takes on the challenge of Japan’s worst labor shortage in 40 years with a Japanese language version of its cutting edge engagement tool.
With a jobless rate of 2.8% and 2.41 new job postings for each job seeker, Japan’s candidate desert is a serious threat to continued economic growth. Employee engagement is absolutely critical for employers to retain top talent as domestic enterprise wages remain nearly stagnant. In a slowly reforming culture of lifetime employment, many managers' skills and experience with keeping employees engaged are underdeveloped--leaving them ill-equipped to tackle the new threat levels of unwanted turnover and resultant opportunity costs.
"Study after study has found that engaged employees and teams perform better, take more initiative, and behave more innovatively. This, in turn, leads to a measurable increase in customer satisfaction and loyalty, sales, and profitability. Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work and the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For consistently and notably outperform the overall stock market. As our parent company is based in Japan, we have seen first hand how it's imperative for Japanese enterprise to leverage these skills in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace,”
