Today’s episode is all about Japanese work culture! Have you ever considered working in Japan or heard some scary stories? Once known for the hard-working “salaryman” stereotype of the 1980s, Japan now faces a labor shortage due to its aging population. We’ll discuss traditional aspects of Japanese business culture, like lifetime employment, workplace etiquette, and communication, while also exploring how companies are adapting to modern trends. We’ll also dive into how cultural values like group harmony continue to shape how people work. Join Andy and Vicky – both with firsthand experience – as they explore the evolution of Japanese work culture, along with some fun, work-related Japanese tunes!
