The Future Direction of Foreign Human Resource Acceptance by Japanese Companies:A Study on the Gaps Between Foreign Human Resources and Japanese Managers

Abstract

The number of foreign workers seeking employment Japan has been increasing every year. However, the willingness of companies to employ them has not increased accordingly. To help Japanese companies promote the employment of foreign human resources and support their post-hiring empowerment, I suggest ways to encourage the employment of foreign workers by Japanese companies by clarifying the gaps that exist between foreign workers and Japanese managers. This analysis concluded the following. First, to create more employment opportunities for international students, the recruiting activity for foreign workers should be considered. Second, the personal ability evaluation should be clarified to accept excellent foreign human resources.
