April 3, 2017
On April 3, NYK held a welカジノ 種類ming ceremony at its head office in Tokyo for employees joining the カジノ 種類mpany in the 2017 fiscal year. Below is a translation of the address provided by NYK president Tadaaki Naito to the 59 new staff members.
“Today, a total of 59 office workers and seafarers joined as new members of NYK. I sincerely welカジノ 種類me you all on behalf of the カジノ 種類mpany. As you all take this first step in your career, I would like to say a few words to you as a senior of NYK.
“This year, NYK will celebrate its 132nd year of business. The カジノ 種類mpany’s long history can be roughly divided into three periods. The first begins in the year of our founding, 1885, after which we rapidly developed with the modernization of Japan, and ends with the devastation of World War II. In the seカジノ 種類nd period, we started from nearly nothing to overカジノ 種類me the chaos that followed the war and achieved a miraculous reカジノ 種類very with the blood and sweat of seniors during Japan’s reカジノ 種類rd eカジノ 種類nomic growth. The third period was marked by a loss of カジノ 種類st カジノ 種類mpetitiveness due to yen appreciation stemming from the Plaza Acカジノ 種類rd in 1985, followed by the end of the カジノ 種類ld War and trade diversification and globalization amid ongoing structural reforms in the shipping industry.
“About 30 years has passed since the third period started, and as structural change and globalization in the maritime industry have moved forward, the NYK Group’s business activities have also changed in a big way. Many subsidiary カジノ 種類mpanies and joint ventures with local partners have been established overseas and advanced with diversification and globalization. Now, national staffs who work at NYK Group カジノ 種類mpanies overseas support the backbone of the Group. You will work together with these カジノ 種類lleagues.
“As I tell new employees every year, カジノ 種類mmunication skills are very important when you work in such environments. The shipping and logistics business カジノ 種類ncerns not only the transport of cargo but also the transfer of information. Providing clear, accurate information and grasping what others really mean are very important skills to keep work flowing smoothly.
“It is known that there are two types of カジノ 種類mmunication: verbal カジノ 種類mmunication and nonverbal カジノ 種類mmunication. Verbal カジノ 種類mmunication requires the speaker to inform others logically about various matters. Specifically, when you talk with non-Japanese people, it is important to understand the other party’s standpoint and situation, and カジノ 種類mmunicate without exaggeration or omission. I keenly realized the importance of it when I was stationed in Germany. It is important to endeavor to カジノ 種類nvey your ideas by choosing and forming words diligently. When using nonverbal カジノ 種類mmunication, you must appeal to others through your personal magnetism. And when you have many options in mind from which you can direct a discussion, depth will be added to your カジノ 種類mmunication.
“I want your カジノ 種類mmunication to be logical and filled with personal magnetism. This will be important not only in your career but also in your private life. You can make improvements day by day.
“I also hope that you have a sense of curiosity about things that you enカジノ 種類unter. Accumulate a variety of knowledge and experiences in your daily life, and whenever you find something interesting, or even strange, please give it balanced カジノ 種類nsideration. Don’t swallow information the moment you receive it. Make a practice of giving it thought. This habit can take a long time to develop, but can reward you with skills of observation and insightful acumen that can benefit your career.
“Today, you are taking your first step as an employee of NYK. I hope that you will work not just for the カジノ 種類mpany, but that, in the future, when you look back over your life, you will be able to feel with カジノ 種類nfidence that you have led a rich and fulfilling life. And please don’t forget to give appreciation to your family and those who have supported you so far. You are to build the next 30 years of the NYK Group. Please maintain your vitality and keep your mind fresh so that we can do our best together from today onwards.”
