    The benefits of understanding Japan's head office business style:

    1. Do effective global teamwork: Effective global teamwork is highly evaluated by Japanese colleagues and a must for any leadership promotion.

    2. Move up as a leader in your Japanese company: Understanding teamwork and relationship-building will help you move up as a leader within the company.

    3. Get head office to support global needs: Head office will be more likely to support your needs if you in a similar way to Japanese colleagues, build the relationship, discuss ideas informally in advance, and tailor the early stages of your proposal so they seem highly beneficial, low risk and low cost.

    4. Improve your local working conditions: You are more likely to be able to improve your local working conditions if you know how to make proposals, including showing how the company benefits, and that it will be smooth to implement, and you have won the support already from key stakeholders.

Description

Do you wish your non-Japanese staff could fit in better with the rest of the team?

Many non-Japanese staff have trouble figuring out how Japanese companies work.

  • Do your staff seem lost and unsure of their role?

  • Do they require a lot of explanation and guidance before they will act?

  • International staff may also bring habits and attitudes that are unfamiliar in Japan.

  • Are your non-Japanese people disruptive? Do they push their opinions too much?

  • Do they work smoothly with others or do they only work well on their own?

Sometimes even the smartest and most motivated non-Japanese staff struggle to reach their potential in Japan. It’s not a question of ability, but of understanding. They simply don’t know the rules of the game in Japan – why people behave as they do and what they expect of their colleagues.

A little cultural understanding and knowledge of how things are done in Japan can get international staff up to speed quickly so that they can become valuable, high-functioning members of your team.


High learning effects can be expected through micro-learning, in which the skills to be acquired are learned one by one for each theme, and active learning, in which learning is centered on two-way exercises.

Who this course is for:

  • Ideal for non-Japanese staff starting out in a Japanese company, or planning to.
