Numbers Co., Ltd. Announces Seminar on Compliance and Risk Management for New Recruitment Anti-Harassment Mandates Effective October 2026

Numbers Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koichi Chiba) will hold a free online seminar on Monday, June 29, 2026, regarding measures to comply with the mandatory "Job Hunting Sexual Harassment Prevention" regulations, which come into effect in October 2026, and strategies for recruitment risk defense.

The seminar features Yusaku Matsui, a leading expert in the integration of employment policy and human resource strategy and Representative Director of the industry-academia collaboration think tank iU Organization Research Institute. He will provide insights into "practical defense measures" and "theories on reforming recruitment processes" that are rarely discussed in public.

Background of the Seminar

Starting October 2026, legal amendments will mandate companies to implement "job hunting sexual harassment prevention measures" during internships and recruitment processes.

This means that previously overlooked behavior by interviewers could instantaneously transform into "legal violations" or "brand damage" (such as social media backlash), posing a critical management risk. For large companies under strict public scrutiny, managing this recruitment risk is an urgent management issue.

In this seminar, Mr. Matsui, an expert in law, management, and HR practice, will provide an accurate interpretation of the legal amendments and share practical strategies for "avoiding risks while designing a selection process that students choose."

Key Takeaways

- Accurate interpretation of the legal changes and visualization of your company's "hidden selection risks." - "Effective training methods" for interviewers in the field that go beyond e-learning. - Balancing "defensive measures" to protect the brand with "offensive selection design" to attract students.
