This range of solutions is a unique offering that covers all phases of an employee’s lifecycle. From developing leaders to recruiting the best talent and coaching for performance, Thomas solutions provide the learning technology, assessments and systems that most organizations need. Assessments also represent unique opportunities to increase awareness of self and others, emotional intelligence, engagement, leadership potential and other relevant traits and data needed in our current business environment.

This range of solutions, now available in Japan for the first time, supports the following:

1. Understanding employees’ workplace behaviors and communication styles. The PPA assessment is often used to motivate and manage people.
2. Measuring learning speed and trainability to identify fast problem- solvers. The GIA assessment is used to understand the aptitudes and training needs of employees.
3. Predicting performance based on personality to get insight into people’s need for and reaction to stress, amongst other traits. The HPTI assessment enables executives to better select and promote future leaders in their organisations.
4. Measuring Emotional Intelligence to identify the advantages of different emotional profiles and develop strong managers. The TEIQue assessment is widely used to understand how emotions drive success.
5. Measuring levels of engagement among employees. The Engage survey by Thomas uncovers issues that may be impacting productivity and wellbeing, and identifies the best areas for engagement initiatives.
6. Exploring the gap between identity and reputation to uncover issues that may be affecting employee performance. This ‘360 degree’ feedback creates open channels of communication, catalysing team-wide performance improvement.

EdulinX also offers integration into existing HR platforms to improve people’s decisionmaking with data. In addition, assessments can be integrated into ongoing talent development initiatives to enhance learning impact.

As a trusted EdTech company, EdulinX is proud to have this unique opportunity to partner with Thomas International to bring their world class solutions to our Japanese clients. Thomas assessments play a pivotal role in creating and driving a positive culture in many teams already and we are excited to bring this solution to Japan,

EdulinX Corporation (Head Office: Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Peter A. Owans), a provider of EdTech solutions for English language learning and human resources development, has announced a partnership agreement with ELSA Corp., a startup founded in San Francisco that uses proprietary speech technology with deep learning and AI to help language learners improve their English speaking skills and pronunciation.

ELSA was founded in 2015 with investment from Google’s AI-focused venture fund, and is developing a proprietary AI speech recognition technology that focuses on correcting English pronunciation and improving speaking skills. ELSA also has an app with 20 million users in 101 countries.

Adding ELSA’s proprietary speech technology to Reallyenglish’s popular course, “Practical English,” will help to improve users’ learning efficiency. The renewed version of “Practical English 9 (Tentative)” will be released next year.

“We are honored to partner with EdulinX, a company with a long history and track record of providing English language training to Japanese companies. Through this partnership, we hope to help improve the pronunciation of English, which has long been a weakness of many Japanese learners of English. We look forward to seeing more English learners gain confidence and success in the global business arena through the new Reallyenglish, powered by ELSA’s world-class AI speech recognition technology,”

said Toshiya Tamaki, ELSA Head of Growth, Japan.

“At EdulinX, it is our singular focus to make learning English fun and interactive for our customers, which is why we are proud to partner with ELSA and integrate their bespoke AI-powered technology into our e-Learning platform. The science behind ELSA’s AI technology is well documented and, with the combined smart, adaptive learning systems of both companies, EdulinX will work relentlessly to transform how our students learn English. We believe ELSA’s unique framework, which is trained using voice data of people speaking English with various accents, is well suited for Japan. Our two companies share the common goal of transforming learning through technology, and we encourage our customers to take advantage of this new wave of learning that EdulinX brings through this partnership,”

  EdulinX Corporation (Head Office: Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Peter A. Owans), a provider of EdTech solutions for English language learning and human resources development, has announced a partnership agreement with Thomas International, a leading global psychometric assessment provider headquartered in the UK.

 EdulinX is partnering with Thomas International as part of its commitment to introducing some of the world’s best products and solutions to its clients in Japan through partnering with top overseas providers.  EdulinX has successfully partnered with well-known companies including Video Arts, Vado, and WSJ. 

One critical element that has been missing from our programs and partnership portfolio is psychometric assessment tools, and we are delighted that EdulinX can finally bring Thomas International’s extensive range of assessment solutions to Japan. The amazing customer stories of major global companies and institutions, including some high-profile Japanese multinationals, convinced us to bring Thomas to Japan. It took a lot of effort, but we are finally able to officially introduce these fine and well-proven assessment tools to our Japan-based clients as well as training providers and facilitators alike.

said Peter A. Owans, President and CEO of EdulinX Corporation.

Thomas International is excited about the new strategic partnership with EdulinX Corporation. At Thomas, we believe in unlocking the potential of every individual, team, and organisation by making the complex nature of human behavior, aptitude, and personality easier for everyone to understand. Our talent assessment platform helps organisations around the world transform their performance through smarter people decisions, looking beyond just skills and experience to unleash the power of their people. With EdulinX, we found the right partner to expand the use of our portfolio in Japan. Together with EdulinX we will accelerate the localisation of all our assessments for Japanese language and business culture.

said Hein-Jan Lapidaire, Regional Sales Director Asia at Thomas International.

  Psychometric Assessments provide deeper insights into people’s motivations: why they behave the way they do, what their potential is, how they communicate, and how they like to be communicated with. The insights that assessments provide also help to reduce bias in people processes and increase diversity and inclusion – objectives that are essential to any business. Using the Thomas suite of assessment tools, EdulinX will gain capability to provide new solutions in areas such as: 

• Increasing understanding of how people behave at work and prefer to communicate 
• Identifying and maximising development opportunities 
• Reducing employee churn rate 
• Increasing employee engagement, wellbeing, and motivation at work 
• Improving recruitment  
• Increasing employee self-awareness
