2024October 2008

Hi, Hello.
Last night, it was quite cold, and the first hot pot in a long time appeared on the dining table at the small school.
While sweating, I flattened the kimchi pot with my family.

There is a possibility that preparations for winter will be urgently needed in the future.
It's November at the end of the week, so the change of seasons seems to come in no time.

Speaking of changes, various changes have occurred in our company since the beginning of the 71st fiscal year.
The other day, there was an in-house election at each business site, including the head office, and the four members who were elected as members of the Keizai Labor Council were elected in a sunny manner.

The purpose of the company council is to "promote the development of the company and the welfare of employees," and it constitutes a place to discuss not only the improvement of the treatment of employees but also the rationalization of operations in a sincere and orderly manner.

This is not a place to discuss slander, complaints, or bad language.
However, since you are elected as a representative of the employees, I think that such topics will naturally come up often.
However, don't be fooled by those words.
"Problem Statement"
"Improvement Proposal"
"Future Prospects"
"Employee Sharing"
With the above in mind, I would be very happy if I could have a lively opinion on the management committee for the next one year.

I believe that there is a good reason to be elected.
If you think that you only have a few things in your life, it can be said that it is a valuable experience.

You want to make it a meaningful time.
As an administrator, there are people who come all the way from a long way, so we would like to respond with the determination to respond to them as much as possible.

Everything:Development of the companyAnd I want to achieveDreams & GoalsIt is for.
To all the winners, thank you for your patience over the past year.

Hi, Hello.
Normally, 9，10，11The moon is the autumn season, and Ima should be in the middle of autumn.
However, this year, the weather continues to be as if it is still summer, and some people around me say that it is not easy to manage my physical condition
You can hear it.
1Autumn is the evening of the year, but the summer season is shifted until the autumn season, and everyone may not be feeling well.
Speaking of autumn, it is also said to be the "harvest time" to nourish physical strength, but considering that the harvest did not proceed properly even due to natural phenomena, as was the case with the rice shortage until last month, it is understandable that abnormal weather is affecting all of the natural world.

In terms of food regimen, the cold in the mornings and evenings becomes stronger in autumn, so the metabolism of water and waste products due to skin respiration, which was actively carried out in summer, is reduced.
As a result, the trachea is strained, and symptoms are more likely to appear in the nose and throat. In addition, in autumn, dry air irritates the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, making it easier than ever for symptoms to worsen, so it is recommended to incorporate foods that prevent dryness.

In order to supplement the function of the lungs, it is important to take spicy flavors such as chili peppers, green onions, ginger, and pepper to enhance the action of sweating and divergence, and to improve the circulation of ki.

In addition, the lungs are closely related to the large intestine. If you take too much pungency, it will put a burden on the large intestine, so you want to moderate it. By the way, pungency also has the property of weakening the work of the liver.

When the body leans toward yin (cold), it is difficult to excrete waste products in the body and metabolism deteriorates.
As it has been said for a long time that "cold is the cause of all diseases", we want to get along well with foods that cool the body.

From the above contents, it can be said that "excretion of waste products" will be especially important this autumn.
It is also important to consume "positive" foods that warm the body from the inside.

Characteristics of positive foods
(1) What can be harvested during the cold season
(2) Hard food with low moisture content
(3) What grows in the soil
(4) Foods with strong saltiness
(5) Fermented

Examples of food
Fruits from colder regions, such as apples, persimmons, and cherries, as well as root vegetables such as burdock and carrots, are typical examples of positive foods.
Other positive foods include eggs, cheese, meat and seafood.

At the end of the day, the nights are cool and the humidity is low, so it is the perfect season to regain the "rhythm of sleep". While enjoying the taste of autumn, let's move your body moderately, repair your body with sleep, and slowly adjust your internal rhythm.

Hi, Hello.
It's the end of October, and autumn has finally arrived.
Suddenly, a jacket is indispensable, and if you don't wear something in the morning and evening, you will feel chilly.
However, during the day, the temperature can spike and make you sweaty.

You have to be more careful about your physical condition than usual.
Don't let the disease take the lead. The leader of the body is himself.

71Three weeks have passed since the start of the fiscal year, and there have already been noticeable changes from the previous fiscal year.
There are events that cannot be accomplished without the help of others, as well as one's own power (competence).
At that time, I firmly felt how much the people involved helped me open the way. Be grateful.

Don't forget to be humble.
It is said that awareness (enlightenment) is not something that can be understood by being taught by others, but must be realized by the person himself. In Buddhism, there is a phrase called "cold and warm self-knowledge," and you can naturally tell if the water in front of you is cold or warm by drinking it. Similarly, in work, you can not only learn from others, but also gain a deeper understanding by actually taking on challenges and through trial and error. If you want to become a leader, you will be able to make accurate decisions and give instructions to the site by experiencing and gaining experience in the field. The answer at work is in the field.

Leaders at work
Leaders in the Family
And the leader of your body
At the end of your life, you are the leader of your own life.

Change your behavior by changing your awareness of your behavior, attitude, and attitude.
I think this will produce the best results we can hope for.
Let's concentrate on our consciousness for a while, look at the reality, ask ourselves questions, and change our behavior.

I was able to know how to escape in the past when I was blocked on all sides.
The ninth part is also called upward = consciousness = (invisible).
Awareness can be said to be a keyword that transforms a situation that is at an impasse.

Hi, Hello.
It is finally time for our company to get on with the trend of the times, but it is also more convenient
As part of our digitalization, we have decided to introduce a digital tachograph.

We had been installing one demonstration machine each at Kakegawa and the head office for test runs, but this time it was a relatively new truck from both offices.
First of all, it was introduced, and we decided to use our holidays to set it up.


In the past, each crew member installed a tachograph before the day's operation to measure the speed and report it.
From now on, all you have to do is press a button on the digital tachometer and the machine will create a speedometer for you.
In addition, it is no longer necessary to create a daily report that the crew spent several tens of minutes filling out after the day's operation.
The day's operation data is linked with the office's labor management system, and the data can be linked, so it is possible to greatly reduce the time and effort of handwriting.
In addition, by linking with IT roll call and ETC, both managers and employees can greatly improve efficiency in shortening the detention time.
If you start something new, it is natural that it will cost money, but here too, we would like to promote DX while cooperating with manufacturers in terms of cost.
We aim to install it in all vehicles by next year and the year after.

It is certain that the level of trust not only from managers and employees, but also from business partners will increase.
This equipment has also received a type designation from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, so it has the effect of fulfilling a higher responsibility as a transportation company.

Hi, Hello.
The temperature difference between day and morning and night responds to the body.
This morning it was so cold that I woke up without a comforter.

It's the change of seasons. Please take care of your physical condition.

The financial month is over, and this month we have come to the summary of the 70th term, the setting of goals for the 71st term, the establishment of a new council, and the general meeting of shareholders.
11At the end of the month, the 70th anniversary is coming up.
There are things to do every day, not if you have a cold.

All you have to do is to conserve your physical strength and calmly fulfill your assigned role.

Even as I mature in my role in such a company, I am still grateful to be given the role of a father when I return home.
My fourth child is an elementary school student, so there is "education" at home, including conversations with children.

Dear＝treeOn top ofStandingWhatSeeI am a parent.
I thought it was enough to just watch over me, and based on this idea, I tried not to be a father who would say anything.

However, I am still immature, so I can't just watch everything, and of course I can get emotional.
When I get home from work, my son is doing his homework from school.
When homework is done, you can take a break from studying and enjoy TV and games.
The person sets a time and plays the game, but usually forgets the time. And I keep working my eyes until dinner time.
Parents in the world, including me, may feel uneasy about the future.

I said, "Son, what are you going to school for?"

Son: "To study"

Child: "If you study, you can do it at home without going to school."

Son: "To do homework"

Child: "When I go to school, I have a teacher who teaches me, and I have friends of the same age. You can talk and play with various people. That's important. When you grow up, there aren't many people who can guide you. You have to think about everything in Jibun."
"I think the most important thing to do when going to school is to know what you don't know (ignorance). To turn it into knowledge. That's why it's important to get a good score on the test, but I think the most important thing is to be able to solve questions (Questions) that you couldn't do (answer)."

"You can do the problems you can do no matter how many times you do them, but more than that, focus on what you couldn't do."
"You can do it by ruminating on the wrong problem over and over again, writing it down on paper, and imagining it in your head."

Son: "I see...

You may not understand it yet, but by repeating it over and over again, you may experience it in real life in school life.
As I grew up from junior high school ~ high school, I thought that if I could interpret "a test that teaches me mistakes is amazing", something might change in my child.

Hi, Hello.


Last weekend, we held a "safety education" held about twice a year at the Kakegawa Sales Office.
In addition, this time, we will dig deeper into the content of the education and hold a "life plan seminar" on health.
We received materials from the insurance company and provided the information to all employees.

It is very unfortunate that there are people in the company who suffer from serious illnesses.
After all, if you get a serious illness, as a practical matter, not only the person himself but also the people involved
The losses are immeasurable.

Even those who say that they are okay and that their health is not a problem cannot be underestimated, and the disease of "cancer" is becoming more and more familiar in the modern world. As it was specified in the video of this seminar, "1 in 2 people suffer from a disease." It's not someone else's problem.

We believe that it is necessary to think carefully not only about individuals but also about health as an organization.
We used the time to gather for safety education at each business site this time, and we held it.
We also invited a special lecturer and tabulated a questionnaire.
Ima: This is exactly what I am thinking about if I can follow up with those who are having trouble with their physical condition or want to prepare for injury or illness.
We hope that we will continue to hold seminars on health in this format, not just this time, and that it will be an opportunity for everyone to think about health as much as possible.



After the educational seminar, we also held a truck delivery ceremony.

Isuzu Motors' "GIGA" truck has safely entered Kakegawa, and all Kakegawa employees have prayed together for the safety of their future travel (sales).

There were quite a few clouds, but I was able to pray for safety safely in the bright and cheerful weather, probably because everyone was very good in their daily activities.
71We would like to ask everyone to keep safety and quality improvement in mind during the period.

Hi, Hello.
Our 71st term has started successfully from this week.
70A lot of things have happened during the period, but it's all about being able to enter a new period like this.

I would like to move forward (the future) even if it is half a step at a time.
The challenge I set for myself is "Jibun today, rather than yesterday's self" My opponent is not someone else, but an inexperienced Jibun.

Today, I will continue to move forward humbly and directly.
But I digress.

Since October, there have been changes in our company, but there have also been changes in the economic situation nationwide.
In Tokyo, the minimum wage for part-time employees increased by 50 yen from the previous year to 1,163 yen.
It seems that the country will finally enter the four-digit 1,000-yen range.

Even in the standard of living, due to the impact of high prices and the shortage of rice, the current situation is putting pressure on household budgets.
The rate of increase was not too surprising.
Of course, it is essential that the increase in part-time employees will also affect the salaries of full-time or temporary employees working for the company.

As a company, we are in a situation where we have to consider temporary salary increases in addition to regular salary increases from next year onward.
It is an issue related to labor costs that must be considered by shippers and partner companies.

How difficult is it to improve quality while maintaining work performance?
I believe this is an issue that must be considered by the entire Japan economy.
