has a team
called the Organizational Culture Committee that activates internal communication and I am also a member of the 4th term Organizational Culture Committee and have been involved in various activities.

[Organizational Culture Committee] What is training to facilitate communication?
If you've just joined the company, it can be difficult to talk to other employees because they're reserved.
The Organizational Culture Committee has planned a training program as one of the quickest ways to resolve this issue.
It was a great way for not only new graduates to interact, but also for existing employees to interact with each other, allowing them to discover new things and have fun together.

praise

At our company, we hold a lunch meeting for all employees from 12:15 on weekdays.
Therefore, the person on duty at the luncheon gives a one- to three-minute speech, and the organizational culture committee also decides on the topic of the speech.
The topics for this year's Organizational Culture Committee's luncheon speeches are as follows.

By setting themes for lunchtime speeches such as ``The person to whom I would like to thank'' or ``This person's quality is great,''
I feel that employees have actually started to consciously look for the good in each other. .
Even if people are in the same company, if they work in different bases or departments, it is difficult to make contact with each other and there are no opportunities to get to know each other.
Therefore, by listening to speeches using these topics, you will have the opportunity to learn about the personalities of people with whom you have little contact.
I feel that this was a good opportunity for me to connect with people who I had felt difficult to talk to and had lacked communication with.

fellowship

"Fellowship" is an exchange event with Canadian bases.
Once a month, we will hold a one-hour networking session from 9:00 am to 10:00 am.
The Organizational Culture Committee prepares a talk theme every month, and the main thing is to speak according to the talk theme.
The talk theme was decided based on the TV program ``Sanma Goten''.
Employees from the Canadian office can participate with dinner, and employees from each office in Japan can participate with coffee.
Since there is a time difference of about 13 hours between Canada and Japan, it is difficult to communicate unless we set up a place like this.
Fellowship was started to solve this problem.
At our company, we place great importance on communication between employees, so we are happy that many of our employees actively participate in these types of exchanges.

online drinking party

We always planned a welcome party for our employees.
Using ZOOM, we are divided into rooms of about 5 people, and the newly hired employees go around each room and chat for a short time of about 10 minutes.
It's a shame that we can't hold the event offline due to the coronavirus, but
depending on the seating order, you might not be able to talk to some people offline, but the advantage of being offline is that you can talk to all the participants evenly.
Even in months when there are no welcome or farewell parties, the Organizational Culture Committee will plan an online drinking party once a month.
We have prepared games that can be played online.
We played games using ``Eshiritori'' and online game tools.
At ``Eshiritori,'' an unexpected artist appeared and the event was quite lively.
At the "Praise Drinking Party," we divided into rooms of about five people and had a drinking party where we had to praise the people in the same room for five minutes straight.
This became our company president Haraoka's favorite drinking party, and he said, "It feels so good! I want to be praised all the time!" (lol)
At our online drinking parties, after the first meeting is over and the party has disbanded, We have prepared ZOOM for the after-party, and you can freely participate in the after-party.
At after-parties, we often played ``Werewolf Game'' and ``Among Us.''
``Among Us'' is a smartphone app that can be downloaded for free, and it has a similar feel to ``Werewolf,'' but it's more fun because it has more gameplay.
"Among Us" can be played online, but you can also create your own room and play among your friends
, so I encourage everyone reading this blog to give it a try!
I'm not good at games, and I'm also bad at lying, so I was easily eliminated from both ``Werewolf Game'' and ``Among Us'' (lol)

Beyond picture book

"Beyond Encyclopedia" is an employee profile that is published only within the company.

I decided to create
``Beyond Encyclopedia'' after receiving advice from Mr. Otsuka, who is in charge of coaching, that ``the more people know about each other, the more they like each other.'' . It can be used to remember faces and names when new employees join the company, and it can also be used as an opportunity for existing employees to get to know each other.
We asked them random questions ranging from work-related questions to personal questions, and recorded the answers they received in the encyclopedia.
It was difficult to produce with just the four members of the Organizational Culture Committee, so employees from the administration department and public relations department also helped out.
Additionally, the members of the next organizational culture committee played a central role in creating the Google site,
thinking about the design and dividing up roles, and finally it was completed!

Finally

The year I have been working as a member of the Organizational Culture Committee
has been difficult as I have had to carry out my regular work and the activities of the Organizational Culture Committee at the same time, but it has been a very fruitful year.
When I joined the company, the only bases were the Osaka and Shikoku offices, but before I knew it, the Yokohama and Canada offices had been added, bringing the total to four locations.
When you work in IT, you tend to have a lot of interaction via chat or Slack, but
at our company, we have active communication without using such tools.
I think that in times of emergency, we can rely on the strength of knowing each other, so I'm really looking forward to the activities of the next Organizational Culture Committee!

Growing every day, moving forward every day.
I have to update myself every day! ! !
Thank you for reading to the end.
