6 Values
CHALLENGE
Always take on challenges and better yourself
At Kikuwa, we expect all employees to keep growing. Society and customer needs are always changing, and customers will not continue to choose us if we were to just do the same things year on year. Itʼs important that we each continually reconsider how we do our jobs and willingly take on new studies and challenges. We believe that Kikuwa employees have exactly the right attitude and enthusiasm to continue changing themselves.
SINCERITY
Say what you really think, honestly
We expect Kikuwa employees to be sincere always. Being sincere means saying what we really think. If we really want to influence others in our work, sometimes weʼll need to say things that are hard to hear or share bad news. When weʼve communicated with enthusiasm and sincerity, other people will understand how we feel and take action. Letʼs try to have a sincere attitude in and out of the workplace.
BE A KEY PERSON
We all play the lead role in our own jobs
Working at Kikuwa, we are all individually responsible. Be conscious that you take ownership of the work entrusted to you and do your job. We are more than welcome to express our opinions to the boss or another department to improve any situation. Taking initiative and doing our job doesnʼt mean criticizing others; it means being conscious of taking responsibility for our own results.
A PROFESSIONAL TEAM
Individuals take responsibility and think about team responsibility
At Kikuwa, we value teamwork. Teamwork isnʼt merely getting along or helping each other out. It means having the idea that “post-process is our customer.” We should help each other with full completion of each responsibility. First, thereʼs each of us being a professional at our own jobs. Then, thereʼs an even stronger organization when we cooperate with our professional colleagues. Letʼs strive to be that kind of organization.
THINKING “WHY?”
Always inquire about the goal of your work and work thoughtfully
At Kikuwa, always work with the goal in mind. If someone asks you to do a job, stand in the other personʼs shoes and think, “Why do they need this?” Also, when you ask someone to do a job, make sure to explain the ultimate goal. Keeping the goal in mind also means considering other departments, and the before & after processes, as weʼre working. And to reach our goals, itʼs crucial to have a plan B. (Plan B = alternative idea) By doing our work while hypothesizing a wide variety of possible scenarios, we can achieve our goals.
RESPONSIBILITY
Be determined to achieve the objective thatʼs been set
Our individual work at Kikuwa ultimately has to lead to business results. For business to contribute to clients and society, and for it to make employees happy, it needs to keep yielding profits. That means we always have to be conscious that our profit is the barometer of our management. Individual employees do their best for achievement of goals while managers are reliably delivering results: these are very important.
