Education verification of third year and fifth year employees of all job types

Abstract

The Nittazuka Medical Welfare Center is a medical complex consisting of 4 corporations, 11 facilities and one private company. As of June 2010, more than 1,100 employees work at the center in various types of jobs. This study examines all employees', except physicians' attendance of the third and fifth year mandatory training courses based on their assignments after each training course.

In the third year training course, participants focus on reviewing their positions by interacting with people in other jobs. In the fifth year training course, participants aim to determine how their skills contribute to the center.

This study covered the same 46 participants from the third year training of 2007 and the fifth year training of 2009.

The word extraction method was used to pick the following 8 keywords from the assignments conducted after each training：training themes, training methods, individuals, coworkers, job categories and departments, facilities and the center, management and human resource development.

The usage rate of “training themes” accounted for 71.7% of the assignments for the third year training and 91.3% of the assignments for the fifth year training. The usage rates of the keywords：“job categories and departments,” “facilities and the center,” and “management” also increased from the third year training to the fifth year training, while in comparison, “coworkers” and “human resource development” decreased.

In view of the results for each individual participant, third year training participants used an average of 4.41 keywords in their assignments and fifth year training participants an average of 5.46 keywords respectively. This result shows that after 2 further years of work and training experience each employee views things from a broader perspective.

However, the rate of the use of the keyword：“management” remained at a 30% level on the assignments. It seems that further in-service training is necessary to increase the employees' awareness towards management responsibilities and human resource development.
