Solution
Incorporating Japanese people management practices into our UK workplace could offer both benefits and challenges.
Preferred Adoption:
Long term Employee Development – Japanese companies focus on continuous learning, this is also called lifelong learning. Structured career progression plans and mentorship programs might help with employee retention and expertise (OECD, 2025).
Collaborative Decision Making – Encouraging a team based including process could improve teamwork and engagement.
Not Preferred:
Merit-based system – Unlike UK, Japanese firms tend to promote employees on the basis of seniority. Instead, it would maintain motivation and continue giving raises to high achievers, if it kept a performance focused approach.
Long Hours culture – Japanese businesses tend to promote working long hours to the detriment of a healthy work life balance. The only focus the UK should continue to maintain is on regulated working hours to benefit employee well-being.
