[:en]White Collar Work Reform is not a Labor Issue[:ja]オフィスワーク環境の改善は、労働問題の解決によって行われるものではない[:]
[:en] The Japanese government has lately been working in partnership with industry more than usual to promote white collar work reform to address perennial issues of low productivity, habitual overtime, and health issues related to overwork including death from overwork, known as karoshi. Reforms under discussion address mostly policy around regulating how people work and are paid, such as overtime limits and remuneration. However, these fail to address underlying cause, which is not about how people work, but rather is how managers with staff lead, or rather fail to lead. It is a leadership capability deficit issue for companies.
