■ Background and Purpose of the Seminar
Working styles and office development are currently at a major turning point. Previously, the office was the central place for work based on the premise of physical attendance. However, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a rapid spread of remote work, significantly easing constraints on working locations. Currently, movements towards hybrid work and returning to the office are intersecting, and companies are at a transition point to redefine working styles and the nature of the office. Offices are now expected to play a role as 'places for value creation' that foster communication, creativity, and organizational culture beyond being just places for operations. Expectations for maintaining and improving high productivity even amidst diverse working styles are increasing.
While promoting these diverse working styles, companies are also increasingly required to implement appropriate labor management and protect employee health. Discussions on amending the Labor Standards Act have recently commenced, and many managers, general affairs, and HR personnel are likely eager to prepare by learning how to advance effective rule-making and environment preparation to respond to these changes.
Based on objective data obtained from original surveys conducted by each company, this seminar will analyze the optimal conditions required for current offices and the challenges faced on the ground. We will propose approaches to simultaneously solve issues in institutional operation and environmental construction based on an accurate understanding of the legal amendments.
