はじめての女性店長の教科書

Textbook for Beginning Female Store Managers


Background

Since April 2022, the Law for the Promotion of Women's Activities has been extended to small and medium-sized enterprises, and the number of women in managerial positions is rapidly increasing. In addition, the aging society is expected to further accelerate the shortage of human resources, as one out of every five people in Japan will be elderly by 2025. However, the actual workplace is riddled with issues such as diversifying work styles and difficulties in communicating with older and non-Japanese staff. This is why store manager training is necessary. Stores can reduce or increase turnover depending on the store manager. The online training program using this book provides practical advice and solutions to help store managers facing such challenges to feel confident in their managerial positions.

Message from the Author

I am not good at reading books. This book is easy to read and understand because it was created by me.

You can read it from anywhere. Please start from what you want to know now and what you are interested in. And please start with what you can think of as "Let's try this.

You, too, can read this book and think, "Let's start by reviewing the smiles on our greetings. If you find even one thing in this book that you would like to incorporate into your own store, such as "First, let's look at the store from the customer's point of view," please try to put it into practice.

After that, even after the "newbie" period has passed, you can always ask yourself, "What should I do? After that, even after your "newbie" period has passed, you can always go back and read it again and again when you are still wondering, "What should I do? We have included some tips for you.

Some stores may find it difficult to properly train store managers in the midst of a super-human resource shortage. Our goal was to create a book that would help such stores acquire the basics of being a female store manager by reading this book. I would be happy if this book provides hints for female store managers to stand on the sales floor every day with a smile on their face.


Comment from a reader

I read the book in one sitting. It is a very easy-to-understand book. It is true that many people are hesitant or frustrated when it comes to being a woman and a store manager. Nevertheless, we live in an age where the barriers between men and women are disappearing, and there are many things that are required of us. At such times, they seem to provide "emotional support!
