There is a legend about the Shirotori Shrine that says that the spirit of Yamato-no-Takeru-no-Miko landed there once as a swan.

”NAIGAI Celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2004”
We're working in a great environment and becoming a part of history.

 

 

 

Making a better working environment for our women employees.

In the present age, we are experiencing a society with fewer children and at the same time, the number of elderly are increasing. Here, we are creating an environment where women employees can have children and bring the children with them to work without any anxiety to have a full working life.

 

We also have built our “Maternity leave’ system and our ‘Health Leave system’ which allows women to raise the next generation and at the same time, develop their individual careers.

 

We are also planning a ‘Return to Work program’ in February 1996 for those workers who have taken maternity leave and health leave and are intending to return to the job site to develop their skills and their careers.We are also developing a new system of utilizing maternity leave and health services in October 1998.

 

Already there are two employees using these systems and raising their children in a responsible manner. 
Another two will make use of the new systems in 2002.

 

In contemporary society where there are fewer children and an increasing number of aged people, we believe that working women are both a necessity and to keep the high standard of excellent workers means the development of good business.

 

Although the law will be revised soon, we would like to make every effort to cope and be flexible with the aim of being a company with the feel of a family.

 

 

“I’m a mother with one child.”

“Since I graduated from school, I have been employed at NAIGAI and have experienced marriage, pregnancy and childbirth.”

 

In times gone by, workers married, conceived children then resigned which was the norm. But now in order to maintain higher standards of living,women also have to work harder. It’s not easy to combine one’s work with one’s family, but I’m holding down both with the help of colleagues and family. I do appreciate the health care and maternity systems here at NAIGAI. At the moment there are three mothers who have pre-school age children.In the future there will be others who do the same.”

 

“I’ve heard that there are companies which won’t let their employees take time off when their kids have a sudden fever. This isn’t the case at NAIGAI.

 

NAIGAI offers us a place where we can work and bring up our children.

 

Aｔ NAIGAI, There are always new challenges.

 

No matter what the conditions are, we are all keen on making effort to meet our own goals and support the growth of NAIGAI..

 

NAIGAI and its future are the collective result of our individuals’annual efforts.

 

In the IT revolution age isn’t a factor. Everyone can feel the changes occurring in this revolution and through mutual support we can all coexist. It’s up to us to make the most use of chances and nobody wishes to be left behind.

 

NAIGAI keeps on growing and although nobody knows the future, our collective approach to challenges are important. Here at NAIGAI, we think much of human relations. Despite differences in language, culture and ways of thinking people from different backgrounds can connect with one another. Human relations are basics at NAIGAI..

 

 

LANKA NAIGAI celebrates its 14th anniversary.
The preparation of comfortable housing and a comfortable atmosphere in the factories make for inventive and interesting products.

 

 

“RANJITH LIBRARY”

 

Work together and grow up together is our constant ethic throughout the ages.

 

The philosophical view of our president Mr.Tanaka is to share joy with a total absence of discrimination.
Here are the staff working for the head office in their own countries. They are the factory workers of LANKA NAIGAI our production base abroad.

 

The factory guidelines abroad include accident insurance covering 24 hours for all employees. A medical dispensary room on the factory premises and the hiring of expert nurses, company trips, a sports festival and trips etc.

 

This is our long cherished dream, to have the Ranjit Library’ on the factory premises. It was opened in January 2002. It offers employees a significant number of books and magazines with other facilities to let employees manage things for themselves. It is well known that some developing countries cannot offer children enough education because of poverty. Sadly, sometimes basic knowledge and social morals are neglected. Its my hope that all employees will take a greater part in producing higher quality products at the plant which has ISO 9002 by increasing their knowledge through reading and of course by contributing further to society with higher levels of product quality.

 

Even after retirement, I hope that their knowledge will be successful for their country and act as a “little cultural contribution”. Our facilities for rest and social interaction of employees was the result of our president’s wishes.
