TOKYO -- When Fujitsu assigned 43-year-old Takahiro Oono to a new job in the summer, he feared it would mean having to leave his family in western Japan and live alone in Tokyo -- until his employer offered him another option.
Oono was allowed to stay where he was and work remotely as part of a Tokyo-based team. "I was relieved," Oono said. "My private life stayed the same, so I was able to focus on my new job."
