Freshmen at ISOWA

As the new fiscal year has begun, we had 8 students join ISOWA.






When freshmen start working, they are provided with a personal helmet, but theirs look a little different from others’.

 

What’s the difference?

It’s a yellow strap!

The reason they are wearing this is so that other people can easily perceive where freshmen are in the workshop and keep an eye for their safety.

In this helmet with a strap, they are working very hard on their 3-month training program.

　　　　　　

At the end of the day, they have a review meeting.

In this meeting, they share with each other what they learned, what mistakes they made and why that happened, and get advice from their boss and seniors so that they can do better the next day.

 

At ISOWA, so many people are involved in human resource development more or less like this.

 

We may have built our history, but they are our future.

It’s my biggest happiness seeing them grow day by day.

 

 

Good luck to you all!

New fiscal year has begun!

April came and the new fiscal year has just begun for us.

 

Last week, right before it started, we shared the yearly goals with the whole company.

Numerical goals change every year, but “Zero Accident” is always at the top of the list.

Even one accident is one too many as we are committed to protect the employees and their families.

 

We also had some personnel and organizational changes.

Every person who got promoted was given a mic and asked for a comment.

 

Their words were just so strong and powerful. Now it’s time to act out.

Of course, we decided to make those changes to achieve the goals above. But there’s more required.

“Build up cross-departmental/generational relationships and gather everyone’s thoughts.”

That’s our slogan for this year and it is how we make innovations happen.

Followed by these announcements, the commendation of the Invention Award was taken place.

It’s great as it is that they got the awards, but what makes it even greater is the fact that most of them are still in their twenties or early thirties.

Although I’m over 60 now and won’t be able to work with them so long, I can see our bright future with the young generation coming up.

Now we’re a few days into the new year.
We just started out right as the manufacturing slots for 2017-2018 are getting filled steadily.

We will focus on keeping this up and ending the year right.

 

I’m looking forward to seeing many of you who are reading this from abroad along the way!
