The employers, management, and the firm know the value of
motivation but they are unaware of the ways to introduce it to the employees. A
motivated employee can work on its best energy level which can improve the
productivity of the firm.
However, living in the overtime working culture, the
Japanese understands the hardworking employees and neglects a habit which we
seem as a non-disciplinary trait. Japanese officials do not disturb the
employee if they sleep in the office premises.
You can sleep in the Office in Japan.
Japanese people often known as the hardest working employees
in the world, the statistics say that the Japanese employees have worked over
80 hours a week. But, Why are Japanese working long hours? – read here.
As Japan is accepting the hardworking culture, it is also admitting
the culture of ‘sleeping on duty,’ which they call ‘inemuri.’
However, the employees have to show their work in the
company to be eligible for the practice. If you are a new employee you will not
be allowed to sleep on duty but if you’re an employee with 40 to 50 years of
age and the topic isn’t your concern, you can sleep in a meeting as well.
Sleeping is also acceptable outside of the offices and the
company. A Japanese can sleep in buses, roadside, in parks, coffee shops, and
nobody cares what you’re doing.
Compensation & Benefits
A compensation and reward system boosts the performance of
the employees. The employees will likely to stick in the firm for the benefits
and rewards they are getting for their efforts. The rewards may include adding a
bonus to monthly wages, introducing appraisals, and providing medical and
hospital expenses as compensation to the Japanese employees.
Workplace Environment
A happy workplace tells the employee that they matter, and
this is enough for any employee to work productively and effectively. A
workplace environment includes the well being of the co-workers, employer-employee,
and HR-employee relations; a handsome salary; and the working conditions in the
company.
A good environment promotes growth and a growing employee can
benefit the company in a way that a grown employee could not.
A human resource consultant makes sure of creating preferable
working conditions and improving personnel policies other than focussing on firing employees, managing union problems, revising ROE (Rules of Employment), and work rules in Japan.
