[Organizational Culture Committee] What is training to facilitate communication?
Hello!
This is Inoue, a Persian cat from Beyond Shikoku Office.
Five new members joined our company in April.
held training once a month in April, May, and June to
Part 1: Looking for the same thing
"Searching for Sameness" is a game where each group introduces themselves and finds commonalities between them.
We divided into groups of about 5 people and conducted the event.
All five people must have something in common.
Therefore, it is difficult to find something that everyone has in common other than something that seems simple.
The purpose of the same search is for members who have been working together for a short time to get to know each other.
You can have a lively conversation with someone you don't expect, because you have the same hobbies, the same food you like, and discover something new.
When people find something in common, they suddenly feel closer to that person.
The aim is to take advantage of this sense of familiarity and have them quickly deepen their friendship.
Part 2: Pomejozu
``Praise Jozu'' is a game where you roll a die, draw cards of a designated color according to the number of dice rolled, and
use the words written on the cards to praise your opponent.
Although there were still new graduates and members with little experience participating,
everyone was creative and used the designated words to compliment the other person.
Since this year's Sosibun theme is "praise", we
conducted it with the aim of focusing on the good parts of the other person rather than the bad parts.
It's easy to find things you don't like about people.
it is difficult to find
the wonderful parts of a person unless you are open-minded or have the perspective to feel that this person is wonderful The aim is to use praise cards to encourage people to praise people in their daily work by intentionally praising them.
When people are praised on a regular basis, they feel that they are ``approved.''
Once the feeling of being “approved” takes root, you will be able to accept being “noticed”.
I wrote about the effects and wonders of ``praise'' in my previous blog, so please take a look.
Increase self-confidence? ! My Persian cat has started to praise me.
Will repeating [praise] make you like your job more?
is a culture of practical experience and praise? Praise Jozu is fun to play with people you don't have a close relationship with in order to communicate, and
it's also fun to play with people you know well, so we recommend it!
Part 3: Anger management
``Anger Management'' is a game where you predict and guess how much anger the parents will feel in response to the angry incident written in the theme.
Those who predict exactly the anger gauge chosen by their parents will receive 2 points, and those whose predictions are close will receive 1 point.
As the word "anger management" suggests, this is a game where you manage your own anger.
By implementing anger management, you will be able to learn the difference between the events that make you and the other person angry, and the differences in the degree of anger you feel, and
learn that ``you are different from me'' and be able to manage your own anger. The aim is to be able to do it.
The points at which people feel angry are different for each person.
When checking the answers, some people can understand why their parents chose that anger gauge
, while others think, ``Ah, that's the way they think.''
People who seem to be surprisingly gentle feel angry, and people who seem to have a surprisingly short temper don't feel angry at all.
One of the interesting things about anger management is that you can learn about this unexpected side of yourself.
When you work at a company, there are times when things happen that you don't understand.
This is where anger management comes in handy.
It is said that anger peaks within 6 seconds of feeling angry.
When you feel moody, try taking a deep breath for 6 seconds to calm yourself down.
I think my anger gauge is lower than when I was upset.
It's easy to get angry and yell, whether at work or in your personal life, but it can damage your relationships.
It may depend on the relationship, but I think that when a relationship is damaged, it sometimes takes time to repair it.
Therefore, managing your anger is important in your daily life.
It seems like the basic thing is to build a human relationship while understanding that ``you and I have different values,'' but it's difficult.
Thank you card
After every training session, I set aside about 15 minutes for the participants to write thank you cards.
I think it is very important to say "thank you" even for small things.
There are many situations in which we need to say "thank you" in our daily work.
We decided to distribute these thank you cards to our new graduate members so that they can realize the importance of saying "thank you" and the sense of happiness that comes back to them when they say "thank you"!
In the future, we would like to spread the use of thank you cards not only in new graduate training, but also throughout Beyond.
I believe that by communicating things that you are grateful for that you cannot say face-to-face, you can increase each other's motivation, reaffirm that you need each other, and the importance of each other's roles.
If there are any companies that actually implement thank you cards internally, I would love to hear about your successes and failures!
Finally
This year, for the first time, we conducted Sosibun training for new graduate members.
Since there was no precedent, it was difficult to plan the training.
What was even more difficult
was that since we were based in different locations, there were always members participating online, so we had to make slight changes to the rules, such as how to conduct training successfully online.
The training was something that the Sosibun members put a lot of thought into, so
I was really happy when I heard from the members who participated in the training that they said, ``It was fun!'' and ``I want to do it again!''
In the future, we will utilize ``Homejozu'' and ``Anger Management'' in team-based training and exchange events between bases.
Growing every day, moving forward every day.
I have to update myself every day! ! !
Thank you for reading to the end.
