Exploring the Future of HR: Major Labor Standards Act Revisions Workshop Highlights

On November 11, 2025, Trustyyle, a leading HR consulting company based in Tokyo, organized a thought-provoking workshop entitled "For Everyone Involved in HR! Completely Understanding the Labor Standards Act Revisions and the 2030 HR Landscape! (Expanded Version)". This event took place in the newly established HR Library, a co-working community dedicated to HR professionals. During the workshop, participants engaged in meaningful discussions and learned about the significant changes to the Labor Standards Act set to take effect in 2027.

Background and Purpose

The upcoming amendments to the Labor Standards Act are expected to have a profound impact on corporate labor management, as well as the roles and functions of HR professionals. Despite the significance of these reforms, many discussions tend to focus on legal jargon and procedural changes, often overlooking how these updates can affect practical HR operations. To address this gap, the HR Library decided to host this workshop as a way to envision the future of work and HR roles up to the year 2030, rather than solely presenting a legal interpretation. This initiative follows the success of the previous HR Festival in September 2025, where feedback highlighted the need for deeper and more practical knowledge on topics related to labor laws.
