| Summary |
This is a nationwide survey of around 75,000 corporate members of Personnel Departments of Japan (Nihon no Jinjibu). It addresses some topics that were singled out for attention as key challenges for personnel departments in “the fact-finding survey on personnel (jinji jittai chosa)” conducted broadly by Personnel Departments of Japan in 2013 to understand issues and measures held by companies. In addition to the same main theme as the last time, “Recruitment” (PART I), “Development” (PART II), and “Workplace environment”(PART III)，and “Workplace environment” (PART IV) Parts I, II, and III of the previous edition (namely “Recruitment,” “Development,” and “Work Environment,” respectively,), “HR Trends” (Part IV) was added for this survey. Since Parts I to IV are separate surveys, a single survey comprises four data sets. The “Personnel Departments of Japan: Personnel White Paper, 2014” is published under survey number 0910. |
