Current situation of foreign-affiliated corporations in Japan

"Safety" is firstly pursued in railway industry. The number of passengers of trains seems to have been decreasing due to less traveling because of declining birthrates and recession and less business trips because of spread of TV telephone conferences. Therefore, each company is focusing on diversification such as tourism, shops inside the station building (so-called "Eki-naka"), and services at other places rather than increasing the rate of passenger. Some companies focus on the speed (Shinkansen/linear motor train), the safety (impediment removal/platform screen doors), and the convenience (new opening of Shinkansen). Each company has been striving for services to improve customer satisfaction upon the foundation of "safety".


Training programs targeting all employees in foreign-affiliated companies

drivers/crews
station staffs

They are required to be as precise as possible to follow rules such as time, speed, and signals. They are also required to act consciously what to do to prevent from the risks that may arise by assuming them. Also, they have to be prepared to respond properly in case of trouble should occur.

on-site/sales workers
(customer service division)

Since the number of passengers has been decreasing due to decreasing birthrate and aging, devices for profit are required in the entire railway industry. There are further enhancing safety and congestion reducing measures and improvement of customer satisfaction for examples. It is also important to strengthen teamworks and risk managements in order to respond quickly and properly in case of accidents or disasters.

facilities
(track maintenance/construction/communication)

Where many people with wide differences in ages work with cooperation, it is the issue to inherit specific technologies as well as general techniques. In particular, veterans' educating abilities toward the young understanding the differences between the generations (how they have the young learn, how to lead them) are strongly demanded.

Comments from participants

    • I was able to study again the attitudes of the customer services. I could empathize through hearing other people's opinions and thoughts.
    • I had fun in learning. I would like to strive for improving services of the entire station by bringing back what I learnt in the training to juniors and colleagues.
    • The training enabled everyone to grow all together through brainstorming by teams. The presentation in front of everyone was straining but a good experience for me.
