Human resources and recruiting issues are changing rapidly in Japan. While lifetime employment and pay based on age are still the norm, in Tokyo and Osaka, employees are changing jobs more frequently, and pay for performance is becoming more prevalent. Strategies to recruit Japanese executives have also changed, and mid-career job changes are much more common. What are Japanese executives expecting if they work for foreign companies? Which Japanese executives will be best suited for your company? Please attend our Japanese HR and Recruiting webcast on September 25, 2008. This 90 minute session will include a 60 minute presentation, followed by 30 minutes for Q&A.

The speaker is PBI's partner in Japan, Ryuichi Kosaka. Mr. Kosaka has more than 20 years of experience with HR and recruiting issues in Japan.
