Understanding the Successful Retention of Foreign Talent in Japan

The landscape of labor in Japan is undergoing a significant transformation as the nation grapples with a persistent shortage of workers. Especially in the hospitality and food sectors, where employee retention has become a challenge, companies are increasingly looking to foreign talent as a viable solution. On July 23, 2025, at the Linc Corporation office in Chiyoda, Tokyo, an event titled "Key Strategies for Retaining Foreign Talent in Japan: A Successful Case Study" will delve into effective methods for integrating foreign employees into the workforce.

Event Details

Linc Corporation, known for its Global Hub services, is eager to share insights on retaining foreign talent. The event aims to address the pressing issue of labor shortages in Japan by focusing on successful case studies from companies that have effectively incorporated foreign workers. One of the key speakers will be TakeNaga Yamada, the head of the development department at Dai Ai Co., which oversees a popular ramen chain across several prefectures, including Aichi.

Background Information

The current environment in Japan poses several challenges, particularly the declining native workforce. With an increasing number of industries, especially restaurants, facing severe labor shortages, the necessity for effective foreign employee retention strategies has never been more urgent. Dai Ai Co. faced significant challenges early on, with up to 30 employees leaving annually soon after the company began hiring foreign workers. However, by implementing robust internal rules and restructuring incentive systems, they have managed to stabilize their foreign workforce, achieving a staggering 60% foreign employee ratio while reducing attrition rates.

Yamada will share the company's journey, demonstrating both the successes and setbacks encountered since initiating their foreign hiring processes. This firsthand account aims to equip attendees with the strategies needed to enhance their own foreign workforce integration.

Target Audience

This event is tailored for business leaders, HR representatives, and anyone interested in or currently working on foreign talent integration. Participants can expect to gain valuable insights into successful employment practices, as well as opportunities to network with peers in the industry.
