Voice of an employee who plays an active part
Although I have a disability in my arm, I wanted to work in the IT industry because I thought I could play an active part using a computer just like other employees. The decisive factors in joining Bridgestone Software are that the company offers many educational opportunities inside and outside the company and substantial employee benefits. I joined the General Affairs Division in 2012 to be in charge of payroll calculations and procedures for social insurance. Since 2017, I have also been overseeing labor-related affairs, such as attendance counting and procedures for severance allowance. At work, I make sure to eliminate mistakes and make ingenious attempts to create a flow to reduce the burden of both General Affairs and employees to make improvements. The company gives each employee the discretionary power to have a sense of reward, enjoyment, and a sense of accomplishment when producing the desired outcomes. It has helped me achieve the goal I made when I entered the company, which is to have an area of expertise.
