Research Abstract |
This project analyzed how the German corporations are realizing the work life balance using corporate material and interviews including Daimler Co, with the comparative view from Japan. The results of the research show, along with the increase of the parental leave, how part-time work as a normal employment spread in German corporations, which makes a big difference from Japan. German time policy has led to the workplace flexibility for both employer and employees.
