Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Why you don’t
give praise in Japan?
It may be true
that the Japanese weren’t as used to being praised in workplaces as Westerners
are. It’s partly because they are expected to work as a team, not solo in traditional
companies or organizations where most of the employees work until retirement.
There is no need to rush or take risks to be promoted fast or awarded often.
The return is assured when no errors or disorders are created.
However, things
seem to be changing as more companies face fierce competition with others from the
world. Also, more professionals are pursuing more challenging or rewarding
career opportunities instead of waiting to be given one in the same company.
People are now simply pleased and motivated when they are praised, either by
their seniors or bosses.
Enjoy reading
and thinking if Japanese workplaces are more distinct than the ones of other
countries.
