As remote work and online communication become more established in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, this event was held for the second time, with the aim of building relationships across departments, job types, and ages, and fostering the growth of diverse employees. Approximately 1,050 people from all over the country, including young employees who have been with the company for up to five years, middle-aged and veteran employees, and management executives, gathered on the day of the event and participated in “Learning” (management philosophy, business, and product development). The students will be divided into units that will be formed on the day and will actively participate in point-based competitions through “Learning techniques”, “Communication (pitch contests and group work),” and “Sports (tug of war, large ball sending, etc.)”. An internal survey found that over 40% of young employees who have been with the company for up to five years, who have experienced a rapid increase in remote work and online work without having much experience in face-to-face work, said,
“Challenges in collaborative systems that transcend organizational boundaries,” which is higher than other generations. (2022 Panasonic Group Employee Awareness Survey) Make New Active Day was launched in fiscal 2023 in response to requests from young employees who wish to interact beyond the boundaries of their departments. In fiscal 2023, approximately 30% of targeted employees participated voluntarily, with 99.9% responding that it “led to a new way of looking at things and changing behavior,” and “created horizontal connections with people of the same generation.” We received comments such as “I was able to learn and interact with people that will be useful for my future work.” It has also been reported that employees who participate in the event contribute to individual growth through active speaking and demonstrating leadership, and that it has a ripple effect on open exchange between departments. Make New Active Day will be made up of 18 young employees who gathered on their own initiative to serve as the executive committee, and will be in charge of planning and running the event. In addition to young employees who have been with the company for up to five years, in order to encourage interaction across generations, starting in 2024, middle-aged and veteran employees will be added, and the employees will be divided into four teams with a mix of departments and job types, competing and learning from each other. is. In addition, we have created units of seven people under each team, and each unit has a pitch contest where they visit overseas and domestic business sites, group work where they learn and think about their respective businesses and career paths, and sports competitions. Participants actively participate in activities such as this, earn points using a point-based system, and have fun while interacting across organizations and generations. Image
