Human resource management practices in Japan are substantially distinct from the one’s practiced in Europe and North American region. Know-how of the traditional Japanese HR system, inculcating practices concerning recruiting and compensation, unions and the labour market, is crucial for those seeking to do business with Japanese firms as well as foreign companies operating in Japan.While the distinct HR system in Japan was considered a source of competitive advantage, labour markets and changing economies have called its present effectiveness into question. The standard system mostly supplied steady long-term employment for full-time employees; nevertheless, for a number of reasons, non-routine forms of employment, including part-time and short-term places, are rising. HR managers in Japan develop HR systems that are more efficient in answer and must consider relevant social and economical modifications.
