Takahisa Saito, a consultant from Saito Social Insurance Labor Office, will host a seminar aimed at providing essential knowledge of labor management through employment regulations. This seminar is designed for HR personnel who are responsible for understanding and implementing employment rules as part of their daily activities.

Seminar Overview

Employment regulations play a critical role in both compliance and the labor contracts between companies and their employees. To ensure these regulations remain relevant amidst various legal amendments, it's vital for HR professionals to continually adapt and update their understanding.
