Communication between the president and the employees
Our president places importance on forums where he can exchange direct dialogues with each and every employee.
Inside the Bayer Yakuhin office, we often hear employees say, “I’m going to the ‘President's Roundtable Meeting’ now.” This comes to show how this meeting has become a familiar presence to the employees. This communication event, which has been passed down from one past president to the next, is held a couple dozens times a year at business offices throughout Japan. It has taken firm hold as a corporate culture unique to Bayer Yakuhin.
“President’s Roundtable Meeting” refers to a forum which gives an opportunity for the president to talk directly with the employees amid a relaxed atmosphere. The purpose of the meeting is to share management policies and to take in ideas. By having the employees exchange views directly with the president on Bayer Yakuhin’s growth strategies and future outlooks, the employees deepen their understanding of the company’s management policies. And, if they submit wonderful ideas and proposals pertaining to Bayer Yakuhin’s business strategy, the top managers begin examining them starting from the next day. Numerous ideas and proposals have been realized up to now. The members also evaluate this event highly, noting that it helped foster relationships and connections between employees beyond departments, and expanded their in-house networks. As a result of the business integration in July 2007, the number of employees doubled, and the “President’s Roundtable Meeting” is also being used as a forum for bringing together employees who have never met before. Recently, some Business Units even started the “Business Unit Head’s Roundtable Meeting.” As seen, today, these events are being appreciated as an important in-house communication tool that connects the management and the employees.
