Does your company have an internal awards system, like an employee recognition program?
This year, our company had a surge of long-service awards for employees reaching 10 years of service.
This long-service award is different from an award for the top sales performer.Recognition opportunities for all employees equallyIs.
In other words,You will always have opportunities to be in the spotlight and play the leading role.That's it.
That's what I think makes long-service awards distinctive.
An opportunity for the company to honor, recognize, and express gratitude for your past contributions to the company.That can be said.
The leader of the director team, Nakamura, and the executive officer in charge of the design team, Senoo, both reached their 10th anniversary with the company, and a celebration party for their long service award was recently held.
Our company has a custom of presenting a "commemorative trophy," "monetary award," and holding a "celebratory party" for employees who have completed 10 years of service.
The members who plan and manage this award event are often those with ties to the award recipients. However, this time, the younger members, who are their subordinates, took the lead, and preparations began more than three months ago.
When asked if they wanted anything, they responded as follows:
Nakamura: Something tangible. For example, like a letter you can show your family, something your family can know about.
Senoo: I want money, time, or love!
"Ah, I see," our staff, who know both of them, would nod in agreement. It was a fitting answer from them.
The planning and operations members requested, "Please prepare letters for the two of them."
I haven't had many opportunities to write letters recently, so it's difficult to do so when I try.
Everyone must have had a hard time putting their thoughts into words and writing them in a letter.
Though I don't know what kind of letters they each sent...
Memories of projects we worked on together and my daily gratitudewhile some members writeMy impression of the two interviewers.writing,I wrote about their accomplishments for my family.It seems there were other members.
And I received letters from the Japanese manager of the Philippine corporation, with whom I interact for work, and all of the local members.
By the way, the commemorative trophies have become quite stylish compared to how they were at first...
In addition, on the day, members from each department had prepared presents.
The director's team apparently considered things like running wear for Nakamura, who is a marathon enthusiast."The 0.01% Man: Nakamura"than practical onesSomething to complete together at home with your children, thinking as you goIt was decided that a lion-themed LEGO-style puzzle would be good, so we sent one.
Meanwhile, the design team chose "love" as a gift for Seno.
This is a completely handmade plush toy that brings our company's lion logo to life in three dimensions!
Actually, Senoo's hobby is collecting vintage stuffed animals from all over the world.
Knowing that the designers were particular about their faces, they repeatedly held meetings and created prototypes after work.A lion that Senoo likes the look of.It is said that they completed it.
According to my sister, Senoo, "You gave shape to the ambiguous theme of love.It's the best gift.The job of a Lionheart designer itself"That's why," she said, deeply moved.
I was reminded once again that they are leaders who are respected by their subordinates and colleagues.
And,I strongly felt my colleagues' desire to "create smiles for the two of them," and I realized that our corporate philosophy of "Creating Smiles" had permeated even the newer members of the company.I did.
Our corporate philosophy, "Creating Smiles," is the foundation for all our actions.
Imagining and creating smiles for our customers, partners, and colleagues.Exactly.This was a celebration that embodied it.
I felt that the company grew through the contributions of its employees, and the company celebrated those contributions... which in turn made the distance between "myself and the company" feel better.
In Vision PsychologyAs the number of peers in the "interdependence" stage increases, both the company and its peers grow.I think so.
A decade as a milestone. (There's also the English word "decade" for ten years.)
Even if they usually grumble and complain, they are still reallyThere must be a reason why they've been able to keep working for so long.Is.
While it may be presumptuous to call it charm,The value of your company found by our employeesIs.
To the employees who have been with us for a long time,Thank you for working here for so long. Why have you been with our company for so long?How about this?
Could you tell me about your company's strengths?
