Beyond Tradition: Reinventing the Japanese Workplace

Japan's economic resilience and the operational excellence of Japanese companies are being put to the test by a highly competitive labour market and profound shifts in employee expectations of work-life balance and workplace connectedness.

Only 7% of Japan's employees are engaged, making the country's workforce one of the least engaged in the world.

This report shares Gallup research and senior leader perspectives from major Japanese companies on their strategies to enhance engagement, wellbeing and performance.
