The introduction of Shinzo Abe as Prime Minister gave way to job reform in April to reduce overwork and thus increase economic growth. This means excising unnecessary job roles and reposition employees to “learn rather than repeat”(White, S., & Kaneko, K. (n.d.))and forces visvim to teach its employees to provide a quality output in a short amount of time without overworking themselves. This reform will affect how one might distribute labor amongst workers to source the raw material of the visvim FBT now that there is a cap on how much overtime a person can dock. The Japanese law also includes mandatory paid days off. This will influence the distribution of work dispersed between employees and their co-workers who will be paid while taking time off for things such responding to emails and shipping items out via e-shops as well as physical stores. Hours between work days are also accounted for in the reformed Law which make sure “employees can enjoy longer nights to rest between work schedules” and thus increase efficiency and productivity at the highest quality possible (Collins, E. C., Ornstein, D., & Martinez, T. S. (2018, December 10). This can work well for a brand like visvim in order to maintain a high quality of product and service and operating to the highest degree without sacrificing their employees’ well-being and risking turnover.
