■ Background of Publication
The HR domain in 2025-2026 is a period where institutional, technological, and market changes are simultaneously surging, such as the full-scale permeation of generative AI into the workplace, mandatory human capital disclosure, revision of the "wall of annual income," and an increase in the employment rate for people with disabilities.
Now that the cost of information gathering has decreased, the quality of interpretation—"what to read from that data"—rather than merely organizing trends, determines the competitiveness of HR professionals.
This report explains eight trends based on domestic and international data, and at the end of each chapter, Willnext's unique perspectives and questions are added.
■ Features of This Report
- Includes the latest global trends such as Josh Bersin Company's Superworker model and the AI-specific SNS "Moltbook."
- Features primary data from domestic and international sources such as Persol Research and Consulting, Teikoku Databank, and Nomura Research Institute, with citations.
- Not limited to "organizing data," but includes Willnext's unique insights on each topic.
■ Included Topics (All 8 items)
- HR in the Age of AI Agents — Redefining "Human Work"
- Wage Increases, Revision of the "Wall of Annual Income," and Recruitment Competitiveness — Strategies for SMEs and Ventures
- Reskilling 2.0 — Embedding Generative AI Literacy in Organizations
- The "Next Stage" of Human Capital Disclosure — Mandating Linkage with Management Strategy and Guideline Revisions
- Utilizing Hidden Labor — Responding to the Statutory Employment Rate of 2.7% and Improving Retention Rates
- Next Challenges After Return to Office — Establishing Hybrid Work and Designing Productivity
- From DEI&B to Wellbeing Management — Implementing Psychological Safety and Sense of Belonging
- Skills Required for Future HR Professionals
