Mirai Works Research Institute Strengthens Content by Incorporating Latest Policy Trends into HR Column

Mirai Works Research Institute, operated by Mirai Works, announced the strengthening of its ongoing column series, "Thorough Commentary! Human Resource Strategy and Labor Legislation for the 'Liberalization of Work Styles'," to reflect the latest policy trends in 2026.

Responding to the rapid shifts in labor policies, including the "Compilation (Draft)" on the direction of labor market reform presented by the government's Labor Market Reform Subcommittee in May, the institute will release practical guidelines for corporate management, planning, and HR personnel.

2026 is a year of heavy practical tasks, including adjustments for higher disability employment rates, information disclosure for women's empowerment, harassment regulations, and updates to equal pay for equal work operations. Furthermore, with the "Labor Standards Act revision" aimed at 2027 and beyond under discussion, employment practices are at a turning point. Mirai Works Research Institute will address these trends with Yusaku Matsui, an expert in human capital and employment policy.

Key themes to be covered: [Practical/Legal Compliance] ● Thorough review of 2026 finalized law revisions ● Latest trends regarding the Freelance New Act and autonomous work styles ● Practical design for preventing customer harassment and sexual harassment during recruitment [Labor Standards Act Revision and Future Trends] ● Details and status of the Labor Standards Act revision ● Basic Policies for Economic and Fiscal Management 2026 and trends in human capital disclosure ● Intersection of employment policy, AI policy, and AI governance
