The Future of Work and Office Life: A Cross-Cultural Perspective

https://japansociety.org/events/the-f...

The pandemic has profoundly transformed offices and the way we work. More than three years later, employers and employees are adapting to an entirely new work world. Some companies have embraced going fully remote, while many are offering hybrid models, allowing employees to split work time between office and home. Companies find themselves navigating a new reality, addressing the best way to redefine workplace culture, improve employee engagement, and strengthen connections in a hybrid environment. How has the pandemic reshaped work in the United States and Japan? How can we use this new work environment to accelerate the advancement of women in leadership in the U.S. and Japan? What are some ways to reignite a connected workplace? In this program, the second major event to be held under Japan Society’s U.S.-Japan Women Leaders Initiative, our speakers discuss the new hybrid working environment and the opportunities and challenges of supporting women in their path to leadership positions in the U.S. and Japan.
