In collaboration with the European Business Council (EBC) HR Committee, we would like to invite you to our HR Working Group 2025 Vol. 3, focusing on "Japanese Labor Law 2025: Compliance, Culture, and Cutting Through the Myths" on November 11th, 2025, from 15:30 - 17:30 JST at AHK Japan and online via Zoom.
Japanese labor law is more than just compliance — it is about strategic risk management and adapting to a rapidly evolving work environment.
In our interactive seminar, we will cut through some myth and folklore regarding Japanese labor law to give you the practical knowledge your business needs.
Besides typical challenges of Japanese labor law, the seminar will also cover the new April & October 2025 legal changes, including:
- New Flexible Work Requirements for childcare and family care.
- Extension of Engagement for Japan's aging workforce.
- High-Risk Areas like overtime and individual freelancer engagement
Bring your questions for our interactive session and ensure your HR strategy is robust and compliant for 2025 and beyond.
Everybody of AHK Japan's member companies with an interest in HR-related topics is invited to join and shape the future of this Working Group.
