Abstract
The “Takao Method,” which emphasizes the main principle of the labor contract that “the workplace is a place to work” and requires employees on leave to “return to their original jobs,” is essentially designed to be operated through thorough “dialogue” between labor and management. In this session, prompted by questions from an occupational physician, a lawyer and a Certified Social Insurance and Labor Consultant who advise on the Takao Method, a psychiatrist recently involved in its implementation, and a human resources manager with years of practical experience presented on the authentic application and significance of the Takao Method. The presentation was followed by a discussion incorporating questions and perspectives from the audience.
