The Upcoming Online HR and Labor Update Seminar

On November 26, 2025, Randstad Japan will host its 27th HR and Labor Update Seminar, focusing on preventing problematic employees within organizations. The seminar will run from 11:00 to 12:00 and is entirely free to attend. This seminar is part of a well-received series aimed at addressing key HR concerns with the assistance of experienced legal professionals.

Topic Focus: Building a System to Prevent Problematic Employees

The session will emphasize the importance of establishing a robust organizational framework to tackle potential issues related to problematic behavior among employees. Attendees will gain insights into how to protect their organization and lessen the risk of adverse situations arising after problematic behavior has occurred.

Understanding the Dual Losses Caused by Problematic Employees

Every organization, regardless of size, can be susceptible to various types of employee misbehavior, such as poor performance, absenteeism, or misconduct. Problematic employees can lead to two significant losses for any organization:

1. Loss of Profit: Problematic behavior can deteriorate relationships with customers, ultimately harming the company's bottom line.
2. Loss of Talent: The departure of valuable employees due to a toxic work environment, referred to as employee turnover, can be detrimental.

The stress faced by supervisors and colleagues when dealing with problematic employees can be substantial and may affect the employer brand and corporate culture. Therefore, prompt and effective response strategies are crucial, as well as developing systems to prevent these issues from arising in the first place.

Practical Knowledge Based on Legal Foundations

Participants of the seminar will have the opportunity to acquire actionable knowledge and insights shaped by legal foundations. They will learn about measures that should be taken when issues arise, as well as tactics to prevent recurrence by leveraging these experiences throughout the organization.

Moreover, the seminar will feature a comparative analysis of how similar situations are approached in Japan and the US, providing participants with an understanding of the contrasting solutions applied in both contexts.
