Human resource management in Japan has changed radically over the past decade. What does this mean if your company has employees in Japan, or your parent company is Japanese?

Japanese HR buzzwords explained:

• The JTC - Japanese Traditional Company - lifetime employment, seniority based promotion and the company union
• The twice yearly bonus season
• The Ice Age generation and the Yutori generation
• Job gata/job-based hiring, job type system
• Haizoku gacha - random assignments
• Re-skilling
• Black company, overtime and karoshi (death from overwork)
• Hara hara - harassing about harassment
• The end of the nomikai (after work drinks party)? 
• Taishoku daiko - proxy quitting
• Remote work and hybrid working in Japan
• Purpose
• Q&A
