In Japan, the workforce continues to shrink, making recruiting human resources increasingly challenging, and competition for human resources with digital skills is intensifying as a result. The way people think about work is also changing. It is therefore necessary to promote measures to retain employees, such as introducing new workstyles unbound by prior conventions and offering opportunities to work globally.
