Women’s Career Change Type Editor-in-Chief Kayoko Kobayashi
When we asked female career change type members to evaluate new graduate employees who joined the company within the past three years, the average score was 70.4 points, which is above the passing line (70 points). In a similar survey conducted in 2021
(https://woman-type.jp/academia/discover-career/data/vol-22/), the average score for new employees was 69.0 points. People always make fun of young people these days, but when you quantify it, you can see that many people have positive evaluations of new employees. What is interesting is that while about 90% of people feel anxious about new employees joining the company, there are also people who feel that working with new employees is “positive for their own career.” This is about 90% of the time.
While the presence of new employees tends to increase the burden on existing employees due to the workload and generation gap, trial and error in such an environment revitalizes the organization, improves management skills, and increases understanding of one’s own work. You can see that this is also connected. I’m sure some workplaces will soon have new employees joining the company in April, and it would be nice if they could be viewed positively as “new employees bring new values ​​to the organization and to themselves.”
