Getting Personnel

Jon Woronoff

Chapter 8 in The “No-Nonsense” Guide to Doing Business in Japan, 2001, pp 91-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Many foreigners who have done business in Japan regard finding (and keeping) the right personnel as particularly difficult, perhaps the hardest task of all.1 There you are, a stranger to this country, and you must assemble a team that will demonstrate ability and dedication so that the new company can grow. That is not easy anywhere. In Japan, you are faced with a different culture, different attitudes toward employment and a different employment system as such. There is also, and one should not hide it, a deep-rooted bias against working for foreign companies, especially if they are also small and new … which is usually the case at least initially.
