米国における人材不足、医療費高騰、世代交代、雇用環境の変化が加速する中、在米日系企業はこれまでにない経営課題に直面しています。特に近年、多くの日系企業で共通して聞かれるのが、以下のような声です。
「現地社員の本音が見えない」 「若手人材が採用できない、定着しない」 「ベテラン社員の高齢化が進み、後継者が育っていない」 「福利厚生コストが上がり続けている」 「本社と現地の考え方の違いに悩んでいる」 「現地化の必要性は感じているが、何から始めればよいかわからない」
これまでの日系企業は、安定した雇用や手厚い福利厚生を強みとしてきました。一方で、アメリカの若い世代の価値観や労働市場は大きく変化しており、「給与」「キャリアパス」「成長機会」「企業文化」がより重視される時代へと移行しています。
また、多くの企業で高齢化や後継者不足が深刻化する中、「今までのやり方」の延長線上では、持続的な成長が難しくなりつつあります。本セミナーでは、
米国を取り巻く課題 人材・組織の課題と現地化 福利厚生・報酬戦略 雇用法・法的リスク対応
という4つのテーマを軸に、在米日系企業が今後どのように「人」と「組織」に投資し、持続的な成長につなげていくべきかを、各分野の専門家が実践的に解説します。
単なる制度論や一般論ではなく、現場で実際に起きている課題をベースに、明日からの経営判断に活かせる具体的な視点とアクションを持ち帰っていただくことを目的としています。

おうちごはん! (Ouchigohan) - Otsukimi Home Cooking Class
Japanese Home Cooking with Table for Two, Japan-America Societies & Japan Societies in Atlanta/Georgia, Boston, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, North Carolina, Alabama, and USJETAA
Sunday, September 20, 2026 @ 5:00-6:30 PM ET
$10 Members / $15 Non-members
JASG members use code "GEORGIA"
Hosted online via Zoom
( receive an email with the Zoom link and recipe card after registering )
Together with Table for Two, a network of Japan-America Societies, and the US JET Alumni Association, we are excited to host Sept Ouchigohan - virtual Japanese cooking class. The theme for this month will be "Otsukimi - お月見" where we’ll be making :
- Otsukimi Meatballs
- Okura Pickles
- Mitarashi Dango
お月見 (Otsukimi), literally meaning “moon viewing,” is a celebration that honors the autumn harvest moon, historically believed to be the most beautiful of the year. Traditionally held on the 15th night of the eighth month of the old Japanese lunar calendar, otsukimi now falls on a varying date in September or October according to the modern calendar.
In Japanese folklore, a rabbit lives on the moon, endlessly pounding rice into soft, chewy mochi with a wooden mallet. This image—rather than the “man in the moon”—has shaped the way generations of children and adults imagine the night sky. The rabbit and mochi connection also influences the treats eaten during otsukimi: tsukimi dango, small white rice dumplings stacked in a pyramid, are offered to the moon to pray for a good harvest and prosperity.
Debra Samuels leads the program content and curriculum development of TABLE FOR TWO USA’s Japanese inspired food education program, “Wa- Shokuiku -Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!”. She was a food writer and contributor to the Food Section of The Boston Globe and has authored two cookbooks: “My Japanese Table,” and “The Korean Table.” She curated the exhibit, “Obento and Built Space:Japanese Boxed Lunch and Architecture,” at the Boston Architectural College (2015) and co-curated “Objects of Use and Beauty: Design and Craft in Japanese Culinary Tools,” at the Fuller Craft Museum (2018). Debra worked as a program coordinator and an exhibition developer at the Japanese department of the Boston Children's Museum (1992-2000). She has lived in Japan, all together, for 12 years and specializes in Japanese cuisine. She travels around the country and abroad teaching hands-on workshops on obento, the Japanese lunchbox. During Covid 19 she is teaching live online cooking programs to youth and adults.
おうちごはん！Ouchigohan! – Japanese Home Cooking is a special collaboration between members of the National Association of Japan-America Societies and Table for Two’s innovative food program, Wa-Shokuiku: Learn. Cook. Eat Japanese!, featuring recipes selected to introduce Japanese food philosophy and preparation techniques. Make simple, healthy, home-style Japanese food to enjoy with friends and family. The series is co-organized by he Japan-America Society of Georgia, The Japan Society of Boston, The Japan-America Society of Houston, The Japan America Society of Alabama, Japan-America Society of North Carolina, Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia,The Japan-America Society of Washington D.C. and US JET Alumni Association.
