Generated AI streamlines and saves labor in childcare self-evaluation, individual goals, individual interviews, and 1-on-1 feedback for administrators.
- The following is content from the press release -
(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hirotaka Ohtake) announces that Katagrma Human Resource Development, a human resource development support tool for childcare, education, and rehabilitation facilities, will start offering a new function, "Proofreading Assistant," which supports the writing work of managers and evaluators through collaboration with generation AI, from February 2, 2026. The new function, "Rebuilding Assistant," will be available from February 2, 2026 (Monday).
Background: Burden of "putting it into words" faced by managers in the field
In daycare centers, welfare facilities, and other such settings, the importance is placed on training each and every staff member. However, the psychological and time burdens associated with feedback creation, such as "How should I communicate to the staff member to help him or her grow?
In order to solve this problem, we have developed a support function, the "polishing assistant," to help administrators give shape to their "communicative intent.
Overview of the "Proofreading Assistant" function
This function supports the administrator's input based on on-screen questions and staff entries.
Main Support
- Support for automatic creation of new texts:
- Brush up on existing text:
We can take the text that has already been inputted and transform it into a positive expression that is more easily understood and motivates people to be positive. - Tone adjustment with custom instructions:
You can adjust the tone of expression to suit the person or situation, such as "clearly conveying areas for improvement" or "first of all, politely praising the effort."
*This function is intended only as a "writing aid"; the AI does not automatically evaluate or judge staff members, and the final confirmation and decision on the content is always made by the administrator.
*Because this is a trial operation, restrictions such as the number of times you can use the service may be applied without prior notice.
Expected Effects
The following values are provided through the use of the "Proofreading Assistant".
- Reduce "I don't know what to write" time
It reduces the burden of creating sentences from scratch and creates time to focus on "dialogue with staff members," which is what you should be facing. - Verbalization of the intent to communicate
It makes it easier to output the evaluations and expectations in your head with the appropriate vocabulary, which will increase staff buy-in. - Controlling Variations in Expression in Instruction and Evaluation
Regardless of the evaluator's experience level, it is possible to provide careful feedback of consistent quality.
Examples of usage scenarios
- Manager comments and interviewee feedback during individual interviews
- Feedback on individual goals and plans
- Reviewer's comments on self-assessment
In addition, the scope of publication can be set as follows.
- Comments to be made available to staff
- Internal comments to be reviewed by administrator only
Future Outlook
This release is the first step in the development of the "Thrusting Assistant. We will continue to improve and update its functions to make human resource development in the fields of childcare, welfare, and education warmer and smoother, taking feedback from those in the field into serious consideration.
*With the release of further AI functions in the future, we plan to begin offering this functionality as a higher-level plan-only feature, targeting around September 2026.
