Online Labor Risk Management Seminar on May 28, 2026

The Nagase Comprehensive Law Office is pleased to announce an upcoming online seminar titled "2026 Labor Risk Management Seminar" scheduled for May 28, 2026, at noon (JST) via Zoom. This event is offered free of charge.

As companies gear up for the legal reforms in 2026, including the mandatory measures against customer harassment and significant revisions to labor laws, this seminar will provide crucial insights into how these changes will affect business labor management.

Why Attend?

2026 is poised to be a transformative year for labor management due to several key legal revisions. Notably, starting October 1, 2026, the revised Comprehensive Promotion Law on Labor Measures will impose mandatory customer harassment prevention measures on all businesses, regardless of size. Additionally, ongoing discussions revolve around comprehensive updates to the Labor Standards Act—marking the most significant revision in approximately 40 years—which includes critical topics like continuous work regulations and work intervals that will have a substantial impact on practical operations.

Moreover, April 2026 will see expanded coverage for social insurance, directly affecting payroll calculations and employment management practices.

Failing to address these changes in a timely manner could expose businesses to risks including administrative guidance, damage compensation claims, and employee turnover—leading to greater management risks.

In this seminar, a leading attorney with expertise in corporate law will systematically outline essential topics to focus on prior to the enforcement of these regulations during the 60-minute session.

Seminar Agenda

1. Addressing Customer Harassment Obligations (Mandatory from October 1, 2026)
