Hi ,
I hope this finds you safe and healthy.
I wanted to pass you our Spring 2022 Edition of the Japan HR Newsletter.
In this edition, I would like to feature my ex-GE HR colleague Prof. Nobutaka Ishiyama ( 石山恒貴) 's book "Talent Management at Japanese Companies"
The fact that Prof. Ishiyama is both a research scholar as well as an HR practitioner, enables him to help readers understand the history, current state, and future trends of talent management in Japan. This is a bible-like textbook about talent management in Japan that not only provides detailed empirical research but also case studies of how some major Japanese companies try to reform their talent management recently.
This is a must-read book for all Japan-related HR professionals or business leaders.
If you are too busy to read the whole book but want to know the essence of the book, or have read the book already but would like to hear directly from Prof. Ishiyama's talking about the key takeaways from this book, Prof. Ishiyama personally recommended the following full script from an open seminar where he discussed the key takeaways from this book.
Next Edition
In our next edition, I would like to feature how the evolving HR technology has enabled data-driven HR that does not rely solely on intuition and experience, and how Japanese HRs are catching up with the wave.
I hope you enjoyed reading, please let us know your thoughts so that we can improve in the future editions, and please feel free to forward this to your colleagues or friends who may be interested.
