Book to be released: Cover

The essence of work" by a business manager who deals with human resources.

In today's age when young people's views on employment are diversifying, Inoue, who has achieved many great accomplishments in the niche industry of manufacturing temporary placement services, has created a book that confronts head-on the fundamental questions of "I don't know what I want to do" and "What is fulfillment in work". He talks about the "essence of work" that he has gained through human resource development and organizational culture building at Sanyo Kogyo. The book is rich in suggestions not only for young people struggling to find a job, but also for business leaders involved in human resource development and organizational management. In this book, Inoue shares his thoughts that, in this day and age when it is difficult to find the right answer to the question of "what it means to work," we can find the essence of what it means to work if we place importance on the "three shinkas" and the "selection of colleagues. I have written this book to convey Inoue's thoughts on this subject.

Background of the book

The starting point for writing this book was my desire, as a manager who has worked with human resources in the field for many years, to offer some help to young people who are impatient with their job-hunting activities as they compare themselves with their peers. What is more important than skills and experience is the attitude of "how you work with whom you work." Inoue describes his thoughts in a frank manner, using his own experience and the examples of Sanyo Kogyo's history. Inoue speaks frankly in plain words so that this book will serve as a guide for those who are struggling to find their way in the world.

Words from Naoyuki Inoue

As was the case with myself, I think there are only a few people who have a clear vision for the future in their early 20s. To those of you who are currently having trouble in "working," I shared my thoughts based on my own experience: "If you always do your best in the place you choose, no matter what type of business you are in, it will definitely be a positive experience for your life. If you value "facing people and working in your own way," any job will surely become interesting. This is not a theory on paper, but something I have experienced firsthand. I hope this book will serve as a guidepost at a turning point in someone's life and give them a little push.
