The first woman!

One of our staff in the HR department, Ms. H, retired from ISOWA. She joined ISOWA after graduating from high school and worked full term until company retirement age. She worked at ISOWA for 41 years! This is the first great achievement of women workers in ISOWA.

When I joined ISOWA years ago, she taught me a lot of things as she already had five years in at HR department, 

Her main job was personnel and labor relations, but she did many other kinds of work besides them.  Here are some examples of her contributions.

She was interviewed by a publisher about her coordinating “Improvement Proposal Project team.”

She received an award from Senior Lion’s Club as a representative of ISOWA for years of blood donation activities.

She prepared flower arrangements for many of the company ceremonies. 

She planned and coordinated six months for a surprise celebration event for my 60th birthday.

We have a lot of memories with her.

We held a retirement ceremony for her last workday with a lot of gratitude. During the ceremony, there was a touching moment when a facilitator, Mr. T, could not hold his tears.

Here is one of the gifts for her, Japanese Sake!  She loves Japanese Sake.  A special message from our staff is engraved on the bottle. What a special gift! 

Thank you so much for 41 years, Ms. H.  We really wish her a wonderful second life!
