Mikoda Minoru (三小田 実) of Yappli,Inc. will appear in a talk and interview at HR Conference 2026 - Fall -, hosted by 日本の人事部. The session will examine how organizations can put human capital management into practice, with discussion drawing on theory and corporate examples.
The talk will explore ways to bridge the “deep valley” faced by companies whose policies fail to translate into action on the frontline. Particular focus will be placed on engaging senior management, linking business and HR strategies, and embedding those strategies through dialogue with frontline employees.
Specific topics will include how to reach agreement with management in a way that secures genuine commitment from executives, how to align business diversification with HR strategy, and how to design dialogue and communicate role models to encourage action on the frontline. The discussion will also address resistance accompanying the transition to a job-based employment model.
The key message of the talk is to share practical knowledge for driving behavioral change on the frontline, along with the resolve to carry reform through to completion. Participants are expected to consider whether their company’s policies are reaching the frontline and take away guiding principles developed through dialogue.
