SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Working together virtually: challenges & opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Dear members\,\n  \nWe gladly inform you of our next WEBINAR: \n“Working together virtually: challenges & opportunities” \n  \nThe Covid pandemic has boosted virtual working. And even in the post-Covid era\, it’s highly likely that working together virtually is “here to stay”. In this webinar we will address both the challenges but also the opportunities that virtual collaboration offers. We will focus on items such as open two-way communication and direct feedback\, installing trust in teams\, and bridging interpersonal and intercultural differences. We will look at how using the right technology in the right way can help us in tackling some of the virtual collaboration challenges\, and how technology can add value in meeting both the organization’s and the individual employee’s needs.    \n  \nAs a speaker we have invited Frans van de Ven\, Executive Coach (based in Belgium). \n  \nEVENT DETAILS:\nTuesday 9 June\n15:00-16:00\nIn ENGLISH\nFree of charge\nMembers-only \n  \nIf you are interested\, please send an email to info@blccj.or.jp before 9 June noon\, and we will confirm your registration. \n  \nThis webinar will be conducted via ZOOM.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Recent amendments in Japanese labor law
DESCRIPTION:Dear members\,\n  \nWe hereby invite you to our next WEBINAR: \n“Recent amendments in Japanese labor law” \n  \nAs part of the so-called “Work Style Reform Legislation”\, two amendments were passed in 2018 and 2019. They attempt to address the dangers of overworking and to introduce the system of ‘Equal Work Equal Pay’ widely. The amendment regarding the limits of overtime took effect with almost all the companies. On ‘Equal Work Equal Pay’\, from April 1\, 2020\, large companies are now obliged to follow new laws dealing with employee management (full-time and part-time)\, with SMEs to join suit a year later.\nOn the other hand\, we are facing the spread of COVID-19\, which has affected our way of doing business greatly. It can lead to change of the working style such as teleworking and to rebuild systems of work conditions. Both amendments above might demand a specific care accordingly.\nWith this webinar\, we will be reality-checking laws introduced in past revisions\, better understanding the equal work for equal pay amendment\, and addressing the current situation surrounding COVID-19. \n  \nWe have invited Hiroshi Chiba\, a labor lawyer\, to speak\, and Catherine O’Connell\, a foreign registered lawyer in Japan\, to moderate the webinar.\nYou can find their biographies in the attachment. \n  \nEvent details:\nThursday 11 June\n14:00-15:00 (30 minutes presentation\, 30 minutes Q&A)\nIn ENGLISH\nFree of charge\nMembers-only \n  \nIf you are interested\, please send an email to info@blccj.or.jp before 11 June noon\, and we will confirm your registration.\nWe also welcome questions in advance. \n  \nThis webinar will be conducted via ZOOM. If your registration is accepted\, you will receive an email with a ZOOM invitation link and password on the day itself. \n  \nWe look forward to welcoming you at the webinar! \n  \nThe BLCCJ office \n    \n  \nWebinar VIDEO data
