CAQNAL CEO Atsushi Nakashima Speaks at HiPro Biz Seminar: Proposing 'Aggressive Human Capital Management' and Redefining HR Systems as an Operating System

Atsushi Nakashima, Representative Director of CAQNAL (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), a company engaged in organizational HR consulting and regional revitalization, spoke at an online seminar titled 'HR Strategy and Practice to Realize Business Strategy: Human Capital Management to Enhance Productivity and Competitiveness in an Era of Labor Shortage.' The seminar was co-hosted by Persol Career's 'HiPro Biz' and Persol Business Process Design's 'StepBase' on Thursday, April 23rd, for executives and HR personnel. The event was a great success, with approximately 100 registrations primarily from executives and department heads of listed and major companies, reflecting high interest in 'aggressive human capital management' amidst worsening labor shortages.

Japan's labor market faces dual challenges: population decline and skill obsolescence. While the active job opening ratio has reached 1.19, Japan's labor productivity remains at 29th out of 38 OECD countries, highlighting structural issues in both talent acquisition and utilization. The seminar emphasized the necessity of redefining HR systems as an 'OS' for business strategy, constructing dynamic talent portfolios, activating internal labor markets, and co-creating value with external talent.
