G1 Global 2025 - The Japanese Model of Well-Being: Improving Convenience as Well as Fulfillment

Well-being has become a familiar term in Japanese corporate discourse, yet the gap between knowing, doing, and being remains wide. While many programs focus on making work more convenient (働きやすさ), employees increasingly seek deeper meaning and fulfillment (働きがい). We explore how fostering a culture of self-compassion and psychological safety can be a powerful driver of individual and organizational resilience, and how businesses can move beyond policies to lived practice and authentic well-being. In particular, we explore how businesses in Japan can maintain productivity while tackling these issues and embracing globalization and expanding their global talent.
