Director Future HR Research CenterTomoko Eto

There are countless HR challenges closely tied to management, and executives and HR departments work tirelessly to address them. However, long-term and complex issues are often the most difficult to tackle, and these are exactly the challenges the Future HR Research Center aims to solve.

One such issue is 'enhancing engagement.' While its importance is universally acknowledged, the factors influencing engagement are complex and varied across companies, leaving many organizations struggling for solutions. By drawing on insights from our clients and our own practices, we strive to offer long-term solutions that create meaningful impact.

Our focus is on helping companies realize their vision over the next 5, 10, or 20 years. Maintaining the status quo is not enough; sustained growth and evolution of people and organizations are key. By connecting everything Human Link has built and generating new value, we are committed to advancing the HR function and driving transformation across industries.
