Japan Economic Overview
Despite constant and sensational news reports to the contrary, Japan remains the third largest economy in the world just recently and barely being overtaken by China (which has 10 times the population). As an affluent and dynamic economy, Japan offers lucrative opportunities in many markets such as high-end fashion goods, electronics, mobile communications and health care. In addition, for many industries Japan remains a top or very key producer such as consumer electronics, automotive and various industrial products. |
In what is often surprising to outsiders, Japan has maintained an extremely solid business and social foundation and with some simple tune-ups, many of which are now coming, the Japanese economy will certainly become even more dynamic and responsive.
Japan Talent Overview
Japan's market supply for bilingual (and bi-cultural) candidates has been and is highly limited and constrained for a number of reasons. This is expected to continue as Japanese industry begins to organically invigorate itself and once again make forays into overseas markets, directly, or through joint-ventures and M&A.
And the previous section we discussed how hard it is to find talent (time consuming and resource intensive) as well as how expensive it is.

Japan Training Overview
Rather than add new talent why not seek productivity gains through training. Probably sourced and delivered training can easily pay for itself many times over, even minor productivity increases, for example 10% would be the equivalent of one new hire for every 10 employees trained. Enhance employee engagement and strengthen employee retention of the right employees.
