Recently temporary staff agencies in Japan are ahving a difficult time due to the increase in full-time employment. One of the bigest among world, Adeco group made a research giving the number of temporary worker to gross labour force. While Europe and the U.S. average 2.5%, Japan has only 1-1.4%.
The president of Japan branch, Mark Du Ree sees more temporary labour opportunity in IT and finance fields in Japan. He manifests to work on raising operation profit in this 2nd largest labour industry in Japan. To gain descent position in Asia, the most effective way is to work on Japan's labour market rather than countries such as China or India where unit prices are cheap.
Tempstaff Co. and People staff will intergrate this year and Recruit Co. will takeover Staff service holdings. Now it is foreign firms' phase to utilise the fundamental possibility of temporary staff in various fields.
What I feel strange is, why then Japanese companies never do what the foreigners do? Why don't they promote temporary worker in IT or finance industry? Recently I often talk with my friends who are job hunting about foreign firms. We all have an image of foreign IT or finance firms never hire workers for more than 10 years. Many Japanese companies have life-time employment system. I am thinking about this since high school that the Japanese tend to show loyalty to where they belong. However nationalism can not be seen as much as in Europe or in the U.S. Among students we always have local topic, club activities, societies or old school talks(Which I couldn't even translate with the right nuance). We all love the places where we belong. Off course I am one of them too.
Then can Du Ree use his knowledge and experience from the western countries in Japan?? Labour market works with controlling people, not machines and computers. In this case, I believe its important to create an achievement in Japan and search for the right human resource management that suits the Japanese workers.
