Launching “Money Forward Cloud Aptitude Test” and “Money Forward Cloud Survey”^*1

Money Forward, Inc. enters the employee engagement area in the HR and labor domain, launching “Money Forward Cloud Aptitude Test powered by MIKIWAME” (hereinafter referred to as “Money Forward Cloud Aptitude Test”) and “Money Forward Cloud Survey powered by MIKIWAME” (hereinafter referred to as “Money Forward Cloud Survey”).

*1 The official names are “Money Forward Cloud Aptitude Test powered by MIKIWAME” and “Money Forward Cloud Survey powered by MIKIWAME.”

“Money Forward Cloud Aptitude Test” is an aptitude testing service that helps identify high-performing talent. By capturing employees’ personalities as data through personality assessments, the service allows companies to utilize the results for optimal placement. It also allows for the creation of unique recruitment criteria based on company culture, comparison between candidates and current high-performing employees, and analysis of organizational fit with various departments.

“Money Forward Cloud Survey” is a service that helps proactively detect employees’ mental condition and prevent turnover risk by analyzing response patterns due to personality differences and changes from previous survey results. It accurately assesses each employee’s condition, alerting users to those who require immediate attention and making it easy to identify “employees who need care now.”

The service also suggests appropriate care methods tailored to individual personalities and offers self-management advice directly to employees.

By using these two services together, companies can consistently utilize employees’ personality and mental condition data in HR strategies from pre-employment to post-employment. This enables more comprehensive talent management and organizational improvement across recruitment, placement, and ongoing management.

In addition, both services provide a complimentary trial and free consultation on employee analysis results. For inquiries, please visit the respective service pages.

■ Background of Service Launch
Due to the recent decline in the labor force and increased talent mobility, companies are showing greater interest in preventing recruitment mismatches, ensuring optimal talent placement, and improving employee retention. Particularly, with significant losses due to turnover and leaves of absence, the attrition risk increases when employees’ condition cannot be accurately assessed or their aptitudes cannot be determined. To address these challenges, we have launched these two services.

Money Forward Cloud has also been committed to transforming back-office operations under the mission of “Business Forward. Life Forward.” Within the HR and labor domain, we have contributed to streamlining labor tasks by offering services such as “Money Forward Cloud Attendance” and “Money Forward Cloud HRIS.” We also recently launched services aiming to enhance the working environment, such as the 2024 release of “Money Forward Cloud Corporate Housing Benefits.”

By entering the employee engagement area with the OEM provision of “MIKIWAME” from Leading Mark, Inc., we are enhancing our service lineup. For users, this means they can analyze and improve employee engagement by incorporating data on employees’ personality and mental condition.

We will continue to expand our services and create value through the combined use of multiple services, aiming to be a trustworthy partner for HR professionals and employees alike.
