Additionally, the new segment, "Questions from the Editor of PORTERS MAGAZINE," features an interview with Tomomi Yamamoto, Executive Officer at Mynavi, where she discusses how sustainability can be a KPI and the methods for internalizing it within the company culture.
The magazine also includes standout interviews, such as a discussion with Daiki Nishikawa and Nanako Horii from Persol Career about the CA role-playing competition, "PCAC," and its winners.
In addition to the "PORTERS MAGAZINE Agent," the PORTERS MAGAZINE publishing initiative extends to two other publications: "PORTERS MAGAZINE Staffing," which focuses on domestic staffing businesses, and "PORTERS MAGAZINE Asia," which provides insights into human resource strategies for Japanese companies overseas.
