ManpowerGroup at HR Summit 2025 ONLINE

On September 3, 2025, ManpowerGroup, a leading provider of workforce solutions, will take part in the HR Summit 2025 ONLINE event. The company's Senior Consultant, Takeo Furukawa, will be a featured speaker discussing a critical theme: "Strategic Career Development as a Means to Achieve Management Goals."

The HR Summit serves as a specialized forum where experts and business leaders engage in dialogue regarding corporate talent strategies, organizational enhancement, and modern work dynamics. During the presentation, Furukawa will shed light on the practical methods of career development that link corporate strategy with HR initiatives.

Overview of the Presentation

Furukawa's talk will explore how strategic career development is crucial for the achievement of management goals. It is a shared understanding among HR professionals that successful personnel development is foundational to any organization. However, many report challenges in garnering essential understanding and cooperation from upper management when it comes to executing career development initiatives.

This difficulty often stems from the inherent nature of career development: measuring its cost-effectiveness in quantitative terms proves challenging, and establishing a visible, direct causal relationship between career programs and corporate growth is not straightforward. Therefore, in this session, Furukawa aims to clarify how strategic career development contributes to fulfilling business objectives, revealing the interconnectedness of management and HR strategies. He will present various case studies to illustrate real-world applications of these techniques, ensuring that attendees leave with valuable insights applicable in practical situations.
