​Creating collective knowledge of
Work Acceleration

In recent years, people have been advocating for reforms in the way they work to prevent overworking and to achieve a better work-life balance. However, many people still profess that they cannot reduce their workload. I imagine that there are many workplaces that operate with a small number of employees. In a questionnaire-based study conducted at a lecture for medical staff, many respondents said that the time for the medical staff to perform the eye examination was too short and psychologically demanding because of the small number of staff attending a large number of patients. Moreover, even under such challenging conditions, high accuracy, careful communication with patients, consensus building, and substantial paperwork are required, which can easily exhaust the body and mind, making it difficult to enjoy work, improve, and explore one's own way of working.

​

​ Therefore, the purpose of the 64th conference is to create a collective knowledge of “Work Acceleration,” and the theme is “Work Accelerators.

​

“Acceleration of work” leads to “safety,” “productivity,” “development,” and “smooth communication.” I hope that this conference will serve as a catalyst for further awareness of “work acceleration.”
