Once again, I would like to introduce ISOWA’s action guidelines:
"Quickness and Interaction”
1) Take the Initiative
- Accepting challenges is the highest of virtues
2) Extend a hand
- Nurturing mutual trust and communication among people
3) Brighten the atmosphere
- Creating a frank and open working environment
Every year, young (and sometimes not so young) players in our assembly, service, and machining departments take the national skills test.
This term, five employees from assembly took up the challenge, and the three (center of the photo) passed the second level of machine assembly and finishing work.
From the left, K, H, and I.
The ceremony was postponed due to the Covid situation, but today we finally held the ceremony to present the certificates to them.
As I write the same thing every time, passing or failing is sometimes just a matter of luck.
The important thing is to practice and work hard for the exam. Because what you have practiced and worked hard for will definitely stick with you.
In their acceptance speeches, H-kun and K-kun, both on their third attempt, looked back on the time when they failed twice and said, "I was very discouraged at that time. At first I was going to decline the third attempt as there were new trainees standing by.
But with the support of my supervisor and colleagues, I managed to pass!"
As the action guideline says, "Take the Initiative-Accepting challenges is the highest of virtues” This is exactly what they put into practice.
This is equally true for the members who unfortunately could not pass the exam.
Passing or failing is sometimes just a matter of luck.
Everyone worked hard to take the exam and their colleagues cheered. Although it is not visible from the outside, every ISOWA-Bito (ISOWA related person) is watching closely. We understand it.
So,
Thanks for taking on the challenge!
Apart from this, two ISOWA-Bito retired today.
They are Mr. A and Mr. U, who have been involved in assembly and service work for many years.
Mr. A was called a single facer specialist in his younger days.
In recent years, he has been active in the Nagoya service area.
Mr. U was in charge of corrugator installation overseas. In his later years, he worked in service specializing in overseas customers. They both will turn 70 this month.
They joined ISOWA at the same time and have been with ISOWA for 52 years.
They declined to have a fancy farewell ceremony so I refrained from introducing them in photos, but I would like to thank them for all their support over the years.
Thank you very much. Take care!
