【background】
In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies such as AI and the promotion of DX (digital transformation), many companies are paying attention to the importance of “reskilling” (reacquiring digital skills). As the work environment continues to change due to advances in automation and digitalization, it has become essential for companies to update their employees’ skills and knowledge. Against this background, we have been providing reskilling support to Shiken’s inside sales department since November 2022 and promoting sales DX. As a result, we have achieved a 125% increase in new customers and an approximately 750% increase in new sales.
Additionally, female employees who have returned to work after childbirth have been able to work from home and with shorter working hours, and as a result, diverse work styles are becoming established. 【the purpose】
Shiken and our company have recently concluded a new reskilling support contract (contract period is from November 2023 to December 2024). As CRO, the purpose of this agreement is to promote further strategic reskilling from a management perspective and build a new career plan for Shiken employees. In the future, we will be committed to increasing the competitiveness of Shiken, and ultimately to the DX and development of the entire dental technology industry in Japan. [What is ReSkilling]
Reskilling refers to “learning new things, acquiring and practicing new skills, and taking on new jobs or occupations,” and mainly refers to initiatives that are part of a company’s human resources strategy. Up until now, this has mainly been done in the field of recruiting and training new employees, but in recent years in Japan, the importance of reskilling for the purpose of realizing organizational change has been emphasized, and the government has started implementing reskilling. Many companies are proactively taking steps to support the promotion.
*Excerpt from “RESKILLING” by Muneaki Goto
“ReSkilling to DX”
At our company, we are developing a scheme called “ReSkilling to DX,” which utilizes “reskilled” human resources to simultaneously advance “DX” within the company. By not only reskilling internal human resources, but also actually utilizing the acquired skills to promote DX in your company, you can simultaneously achieve effective skill retention among employees and DX promotion for the entire organization. .
[What is CRO (Chief Reskilling Officer)?]
Refers to the “chief reskilling officer” and “chief human resources development officer” in a company. In recent years, CLOs (Chief Learning Officers), a similar position, have been actively promoted overseas as well, mainly in the IT industry such as Microsoft. [Role of CRO]
・Development and implementation of reskilling strategy
・Promote improvement of employee skills
・Measure the effectiveness of learning programs and further improve them ・To advance the career of employees and improve the competitiveness of the entire organization.
【the next deployment】
The appointment of CRO is the first in the western Japan region (according to our research), and is a groundbreaking event. In addition, in Komatsushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, where Shiken’s headquarters is located, we are strengthening efforts to improve the digital skills of the entire local community and promote remote employment through support for promoting reskilling (digital skill reacquisition) for citizens.

【comment】
As a result of good luck, I have been appointed as CRO of Shiken. Last year, I accompanied Shiken’s reskilling efforts. I am very happy that I was able to produce results by being involved in developing sales DX human resources for people who have returned from childbirth. In the future, as CRO, I will once again focus my efforts on promoting Shiken’s sales DX and reskilling, and hope to achieve further results. ■About Shiken Co., Ltd.
