ISOWA America’s service technicians have come to Japan for training to learn how to install, adjust, and test machines on their own without support by ISOWA Japan. The first group, Furlan and Mario, have been studying for two weeks since mid-May. While Furlan has been to Japan before, this is Mario's first time to visit both Japan and ISOWA Japan.
Shortly after they arrived, I invited them for a meal before they left, but suddenly there were only two days left, so we quickly arranged a lunch. The venue was a restaurant near our office chosen by Mr. O from the overseas sales department. Since neither of them had tried eel before, we treated them to Hitsumabushi (a kind of local eel dish).
They told me they had often passed by this restaurant, which is near their hotel. Remembering my invitation, they had secretly hoped to dine there, noticing the well-dressed patrons and the upscale appearance, thinking, "It would be nice if Hideyuki-san takes us here."
Mr. O’s choice of the restaurant made their wish come true, and they were thrilled. They both enjoyed the Hitsumabushi.
In late June, a second team will come to Japan. So, we joked, “Let’s make sure to tell the next group to ask for a fancy restaurant if they dine with Hideyuki-san.” “Great idea!”
But if we take the second group to an even nicer restaurant, Furlan and Mario might get upset, so maybe I’ll take the next group here again!
ISOWA America's service technicians travel even more than ISOWA Japan’s. It can be challenging, but let’s work together as one ISOWA to...
Create the great corporate culture with the spirit of "Quickness and Interaction," and "Do better, More will come."
The following day, Mario looked unusually serious, so I asked what was going on. "It's my final exam," he replied. "Oh! That makes sense!" Yesterday was the last day of his training in Japan, and now he's taking a test to review everything he's learned.
"This is tough," he must be thinking. This will be another memory of his time in ISOWA Japan.
After two weeks of training at ISOWA, Mario plans to stay in Japan for another two weeks to travel on his own. When I came to work the next day, I realized I didn’t see him. That means he passed his final exam and went on his vacation in Japan.
Both Furlan, who is heading straight back to Brazil after a month away from his family, and Mario, who is vacationing in Japan, have worked hard for two weeks. Take care!
See you again soon!
