HR Action Summit: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities in Manufacturing and Logistics

On September 11, 2025, Brain Lab Inc. will host the online conference, HR Action Summit, aimed at professionals in the manufacturing and logistics sectors. This event seeks to address common challenges faced by industry players regarding human resources, providing actionable insights and strategies. An archived session will be available on September 16, 2025, from 1 PM to 4 PM.

Addressing Human Resource Challenges in Core Industries

The manufacturing and logistics sectors are essential to Japan's economy and daily life. However, many companies are struggling with issues like attracting candidates and retaining talent. The challenges stem from a dwindling workforce caused by an aging population and declining birthrates, as well as shifting values among job seekers. Young talent now prioritizes meaningful work and a corporate culture that resonates with their values over salary alone.

Moreover, increasing turnover rates are putting additional pressure on businesses. Companies are at risk of losing invaluable skills and expertise when newly hired employees depart prematurely. The recruitment of foreign talent offers a potential solution, yet arises complexities in regulatory frameworks and workplace environments that must be navigated.

This summit aims to dissect these intricate challenges and present feasible solutions through expert-led discussions and presentations. The conference will span three hours and consist of sessions that provide immediate, practical strategies attendees can implement.

Three Themes Addressing Recruitment and Retention

To tackle these pressing issues, the summit will be structured around three major themes:

Part 1: Innovative Recruitment Strategies

The first session focuses on enhancing recruitment by leveraging social media and industry data. Participants can expect to gain insights on how to effectively improve attraction, recruitment, and candidate pool strategies.

Part 2: Systems for Retention and Development

In the second session, speakers will delve into methods for preventing turnover through robust systems for employee retention and growth. Discover approaches to keep employees motivated and supported in their skill development.

Part 3: Creating Welcoming Environments for Foreign Workers

The final session will discuss how to develop an inclusive environment for foreign talent, detailing comprehensive systems from hiring practices to life support that encourage long-term commitment.

Brain Lab’s Role in Ensuring Employee Success

Notably, Brain Lab will present in the second segment on retention and development strategies. Through recent research involving 100 employees in the same workplace, findings revealed that those who engaged with company communications via LINE had higher retention rates than non-users. This powerful insight highlights the importance of communication in employee retention strategies.
