 BREAKOUT SESSION 2

Addressing the Influence of Culture on Workstyle Reform
Work style reform has been the major challenge to Japan This session will address the impact of national culture on work style. The national culture is “a programming of mind” about which we are unconscious because we are programmed since the moment of we are born. Being aware of the national culture will provide new perspectives to working “smarter”, not harder, to improve productivity and work-life integration.
