LEANER HUMAN RESOURCES TEAMS, RISING INDUSTRIES
Many specialisms today face cutbacks amidst wider concern about the economic climate and human resources teams are no exception. 54% of human resources professionals across Asia expressed a lack of optimism for the economy today, slightly higher than the average of 51%.
“Despite global economic uncertainty in 2023, the job market in Japan remains relatively stable, with demand for labour gradually increasing,” said Yuna. “As the value of the yen has been falling, there is a higher demand for HR talent especially in the retail and service industries, including tour companies and hotels with foreign tourism on the rise”. Both domestic and global companies are also in need of strong bilingual or trilingual HR candidates. However, talent search will be impacted as Japan faces a labour shortage due to its aging population.
