Japanese culture in the works

This article discusses the culture of Japanese society in the work, let us consider the following explanation:

Speed and accuracy (quality) into two things that should be owned by every organization whether it is non-profit and non-profit organizations, in order to survive and sustainable in the middle of the rotation of information and technology very quickly.

But actually, 2 it is not simply be realized simply. Each of the factors driving the organization must work in synergy and have the capacity to be able to support the realization of organizational movement is fast and accurate.

Whatever forms of existing organizations, whose move it is the main foundation of Man. If traced to the starting point, we can see two main factors forming qualified human, namely, knowledge (knowledge) and skills (skills) or often also termed the knowhow.

One of the important knowledge to be owned by each element of the organization (employees, directors, stakeholders) is about Forward Work Culture Organization and familiarize the work culture as a form of mastery (skill).

I mean advanced organization is an organization / company which is able to produce the goods / services of high quality at high speed as well.

For that, as a representative of the organization's work culture developed, it is not wrong if we take into consideration, or more precisely analyze about the work culture of Japanese society.

What exactly is the basic mindset and culture of the Japanese people so that they can produce high quality products and high speed anyway? I will present from a different angle, let's see ..

1. To record the "brain" and "muscle"

This point is one of the basic thinking is owned by the Japanese (organizations in Japan) and completely done with the maximum. Over time and the change of generations, people who have the knowledge and expertise will age and stop. If the "brain" (ed: knowledge) and "muscle" (ed: skills) they are not diligently recorded in the form of manuals, materials, photos, videos and other forms of the cessation of their record so early rupture of knowledge and knowledge of the organization. With so slowly merapuh foundation and impact on weakening the strength of the organization as a whole.

2. Manualisasi (knowledge transfer)

Not only are they posted a senior experience, but everything connected with them post the job will be a maximum of small things. For example, how to conduct meetings right, how to write the minutes of an effective and minimally important points that should be written. Especially for basic things.

3. Tettei shita Kyouiku (Training optimally)

Training does not always refer to knowledge transfer activities are given the subject of this training and the training. But the actual training activities undertaken by the organization in Japan actors are included junior (those who are new to or inexperienced) together senior to join a lot of work. Showed and explained to them in detail and then provide opportunities for youth to do the work yourself with under supervision until the end of this junior has skills and can work independently.


Seniors have the ability to teach gradually, able to explain in detail, teach special tricks in the works and is certainly teach manual they have made previously.

4. mindset ingrained "What`s the next step?" And "What should I do?"

It's a mindset that makes them work faster, they get rid of mutual blame and throwing responsibility. In essence, they understand that problems arise in the normal course of work, but the problem is not analyzed to find out who is at fault, but find a way out together. Each section clarify the responsibilities of each so that they are clear what to do, when it collided with the problem immediately communicated with the boss or related parties.

The mindset is equipped with the ability to ask good, and the workers who do the work must record their work in the form of data, and the other in detail and accurately.

5. On what grounds?

They will be ashamed of asking the opinion, said something, report something related work if there is no valid basis (reliable). Both the data and accurate materials and work experience people who are competent.

6. Planning great

Since the beginning they were trained to make careful plans before work. Not only a great job, even small jobs they are taught to plan in advance. They predicted the first possibilities that will be encountered obstacles so that they also prepare some path / way to finish the job.

7. Senior & Junior

Japan one of the country is thick with seniority. Which comply with the older youth. This system has become a whole system of Japanese society, which shall teach juniors and seniors entitled to be respected. Junior obliged to respect and follow and are entitled to be taught.

8. Communication skills

For those who had studied in Japan, or at least stay in Japan for a longer period of time will know that since their early education taught (from school and environment) how to communicate well, starting from how to speak based interlocutor, a good way of asking for help, how to deliver something that is not offensive to others, etc.

With this communication capability greatly minimize disputes when working with others. Which also have a positive effect the realization of good cooperation and working environment light to communicate.

9. Make clear (clarify)

Do not create a floating-paced job, do not allow workers to figure out yourself.

Clarify what should be done, who is responsible, to when to do, with whom to cooperate, how to groove to do it. Obscurity is the start throwing blame and responsibility.


Similarly 9 key points mindset and culture of Japanese society in the work on the organization / company.

Hopefully useful for those of you who are trying to improve the work culture of the country.

Greetings changes.

Ethic and attitude in the office of a Japanese company

This article discusses the work ethic and attitude in the office of a Japanese company, let us consider the following:
For those who want to work in a Japanese company, both companies are located in Indonesia or in Japan, it is good to pay attention to the workings of a typical ethics. Work ethic and attitude in the Japanese corporate offices, among others:

HOURS OF WORK IN THE COMPANY

Working hours most companies in Japan are from 9 am to 5 pm. But recently the system "flexible time" more and more used. It is a system where employees have the freedom to some extent to set their own working time. Flexible time system is becoming popular as employees so can avoid the hours roundtrip most busy and can work in accordance with the pattern of their lives. On the other hand, it is true that a lot of people who feel uncomfortable to leave work earlier than peers or bosses, even though their work day is over. Therefore, do not forget to show the attitude of tolerance towards them. Even if you have to go home first, it is better to say 「お先に失礼します」 O-saki ni shitsureishimasu which means "excuse me".

2. MENTION THE NAME WHEN THE PHONE

Difficult to use the phrase fitting tribute by telephone. The important thing is to clarify between you and the person on the other end or "inside and outside". When talking about the people in the office, use regular expressions like when you refer to yourself. For example, there is a phone for Suzuki, president of the company. In a corporate environment, you used to call Suzuki shachô, which means the President of Suzuki. But to an outsider, do not use an expression of respect or official position of the person in your company. So in this case you say: 「鈴木 は 外出 し て い ま す」 Suzuki wa gaishutsu shite imasu which means "Suzuki is not in place at this time".
Incidentally one of the most common names in Japan are Sato, Suzuki and Takahashi. However there are many more family names and some of them sound similar. Therefore, if you can not catch the name of someone in the first time, do not hesitate to ask politely that the caller back loop. In this case you should say: 「も う 一度 お 名 前 を お 願 い し ま す」 Mô ichido, o-Namae o onegaishimasu, which means "Please be repeated his name?".

3. PARTY COMPANY

Companies in Japan are often held a party for its employees. The most common include the party for new employees, a farewell party when there is turnover, and a year-end party as a form of gratitude for the work and support over the last year. Among co-workers also is common to have dinner together after work, while drinking alcohol or tea. If you do not drink alcohol, it does not hurt to refuse, but you should use polite words. Appropriate way to resist is to include reasons and say 「す み ま せ ん, お 酒 を 飲 め な い ん で す」 Sumimasen, o-sake wa nomenain desu, which means "I'm sorry, but I can not drink alcohol". These parties are a good opportunity to get to know everyone, and even find other unexpected side of your co-workers. So come if you are invited.

4. HÔRENSO

Basic elements of communication in a company known as HORENSO. HORENSO word formed by the first syllable of the three words, namely:
報告 Hokoku which means "reports", 連絡 renraku which means "contact" and 相 談 sodan which means "consultation". Actually, the term is also a form HORENSO satire because it sounds the same meaning denganhôrensô spinach, a type of vegetable. If you are lazy in doing HORENSO in a business context, then you might make the wrong decision or experienced business problems. So be sure to terusmelakukannya.
Hokoku - "report" - means the report on the progress of your work regularly to superiors and colleagues can immediately respond if there are problems.
Renraku - "contact" - means to contact the supervisor and co-workers related work plans and schedules for you. You should also always tell them if you want to go straight home after making an appointment outside or if you do not come to work.
Sodan - "consultation" - meaning for guidance and advice needed. If you are still inexperienced, do not be ashamed to ask anything. There is an old adage that says "Ask, will only make temporary embarrassment. But do not ask, would shame forever ". So do not hesitate to always ask.

5. HOW TO PRAISE THE MAN IN THE WORKPLACE

The spirit of our work will be increased if it gets praise. There are many words to praise someone. For example, 「さ す が」 sasuga means "Just like my expectations"; 「い い で す ね」 ii desu ne means "very good"; 「す ば ら し い」 subarashii means "Great!" And 「お 見 事」 o-migoto means "Incredible!". But be careful because compliments like these may not only have a positive impact, but can also lead to a worsening of relations. If you repeat the praise indiscriminately, they can be sounded like sarcasm rather than praise, or even hinted that you blame or belittle others. Please remember also the following two basic rules: When you praise someone, do it in front of others and when reprimanding, do when no one is around you.

6. WHAT IF trimmed?

Companies that employ foreign nationals have a training program to teach them manners and also business-related use of language. Still, the "ambiguity" that characterizes the Japanese language often led to unexpected problems. For example: One day a boss says, 「き れ い に し た ら?」 "Kirei ni Shitara?" To a subordinate whose desk cluttered. But the next day it was still neat table. The boss actually asked his men were to immediately clean up the table in order to look presentable when customers visiting their office. But this desire did not understand the subordinates. The literal meaning of 「き れ い に し た ら?」 "Kirei ni Shitara?" Is "I think it would be better if you trimmed table". But the men consider these words of his boss only as a suggestion, and he did not do anything. Boss was supposed to send his men to clear the table with clearly says, "Do not store anything on the table other than your computer!" The secret to work in Japan is to understand the true meaning behind the command is not clear.

7. EXPRESSIONS FOR COMMUNICATION smoothness

In Japan, the idea that "harmony is the best thing" is still adhered to in the business world. Typical expression associated with that spirit is o-kage same de, which means "thank ... / thanks ...". The phrase was used in examples such as: "Thanks to you, we can get the contract". While it may in fact you are doing most of the work, but using the same expression o-kage de to express appreciation for the guidance and support of all people, you show a high appreciation for their cooperation.
On the other hand, if you start by saying Zannen nagara ... which means "Unfortunately ..." then it suggests that you are going to report a bad news. Tori Ossharu desu ga ... means "Just as you say, but ...". This expression is used when you give a different view and feels like "I understand fully what you want to say, but ...". If you can use those phrases with ease, you are including a Japanese worker!

Ban fled into the country illegally entering Japan

Regrettable that a small number of the trainees and technical interns who come to Japan to escape, and resigned from training or technical partnerships.

Such cases can be roughly divided into two types: The first case is because there is no intention to receive training in Japan, but only want to earn money.
The trainees / apprentices as this will quickly run away as soon as they enter Japan.

The second case is tempted by the offers as "no other work place where you can make more money" during training and technical internship.

Remember that when you are training, you are supported by many people, including those who are in organisasiyang send you out of the country of origin, as well as related persons in Japan.

Although it is not known by those who escape, if escape from the training / technical internship will bring trouble to the people who support you. Companies and associations where the trainees recipients who escaped will be given a stern warning by the relevant organizations, including the Bureau of Immigration.

In some cases, the company may not be able to accept the new trainees within the next three years.

Coworkers of the trainees or technical interns who escape will be examined closely in all aspects, to prevent more people who resigned. At worst, the Immigration Bureau may instruct the company to immediately return all trainees and apprentices to their home country - even though they are not related to participants who escaped.

Organizations that send the trainees who escaped had to work hard to find out where the people who fled, and in some cases participants who fled can affect their families in the State of origin. In one case, many representatives of the media who visited the families of the trainees or technical interns who fled to obtain news, and cause problems for other people in the area where the family lived.

The trainees or apprentices are techniques that escape would be "illegal alien population" or "illegal workers" and will be arrested by the police. Trainees or technical interns who fled (ILLEGAL) of its obligations will face imprisonment, with or without labor, up to 3 years, or a fine of up to 3,000,000 yen (27,300 US dollars), or both.

Additionally, the period of Japan's refusal to enter the short will be valid for one year and a maximum of up to 10 years.

Escape from liability caused many problems, and also will damage their careers who fled. If you are tempted too, consider your goals come to Japan and act with careful consideration.

Therefore, for those who will follow an apprenticeship program to Japan do not be tempted by the lure body salary system as the recipient organization in Japan is not about the system, go back to the salary offered sending institutions, in Japan there are big cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, while there are also small towns and villages. Consider that you will travel to the area.

Please understand that the candidate training / technical interns who come to Japan together with you may be distributed to different companies, so that you and your friends may be separate. One vote Author Institution / Sending Organization (SO) determines the fate of apprentices in japan

Similarly Escape Prohibition information for apprentices (Become Illegal Workers), may be useful.
