This week on the podcast we revisit an episode that originally aired on 15th March 2023.
Love or hate them, great Human Resources professionals are worth their weight in gold to organizations when you have the right person. Without them, businesses struggle to retain and attract top talent, navigate compliance and legal labor laws, and create an inclusive company culture. In Japan, hiring the right HR director is absolutely critical for successful businesses, not least because they need to understand the local landscape due to a unique market with its own cultural norms, its own values, and its own unique labor laws.
But what else do you need to consider when hiring HR leaders in Japan? David Sweet shares his top must-haves when hiring an HR director in Japan.
David covers:
- Knowledge and deep understanding of Japanese Labour laws
- Ability to foster positive stakeholder relations
- Experience in recruitment and retaining talent
- Established networks
