Abstract

This paper discusses the situation of human resource development in Japanese companies. First, I will introduce the human resource development that has been conducted by many large Japanese companies. Then, I will present a summary of the recent situation of human resource development and workplace activities in Japanese companies. The following is an overview of the recent situation of human resource development and workplace activities. (1) The stronger linkage between corporate strategies and human resource strategies is increasingly expected. (2) In a changing environment and situation, or in the changing way of education, expectations for the role of middle manager are higher than ever before. (3) Employees are being encouraged to pursue learning by self-selection, and individual awareness of career development is becoming more important. (4) After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, further attempts to utilize new means of education are being promoted - including the good use of both online and in-person training. (5) Learning not only within the company but also outside the company is becoming more important. Now, human resource development in Japanese companies is entering a new era.
