Summary Of Japanese Work Discipline In 6 Points

Japanese work discipline has very different perspectives than other countries in the world. Combining several different business models with their own culture, the Japanese inspire many businessmen with excellent business strategies. So much so that the Japanese business discipline is considered the most unique in the world. Here's a six-point summary of Japanese business discipline.

1 – They Deliver Their Jobs On Time

You can say "Well, what's so unique about it now?". However, it is almost impossible for the Japanese to experience the time problem that we see in the Western business world. Workers never escape from responsibility, never blame superiors when something goes wrong. If things don't go as planned in Japan, the person taking on the task bears responsibility for it in every aspect.

 2 – They Serve Beyond Demand

The Japanese have such an attitude towards all their customers. They want them to be very satisfied. Therefore, they are trying to provide a service that goes beyond the demand. And they can do it quite consistently.

 3 – According to the Japanese, the customer is “God”

The Japanese aim to keep the customer happy, to establish and maintain healthy relationships with them. For example, most companies in Western countries can reject customer and service contracts as they see fit. However, the Japanese, both the customer and the services they offer to customers are above anything else.

 4 – There is No Room for Quarrel in Japanese Meeting Rooms

In most companies, meetings are organized to discuss projects and draw conclusions. But the Japanese are using meeting rooms not to discuss existing projects, but to report on things that will take their company one step ahead. Decisions are made prior to the meeting and all processes proceed smoothly in the meeting room.

 5 – They Work Slowly But Effectively

 Working speeds may seem a little slow, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're inefficient. Because their decision-making processes are very detailed. You can't speed up the process by offering them more money. The process takes so long as they detail all decision-making processes in order to provide you the best service. Everything is done for a high quality service.

 6 – Drinking Alcohol with Colleagues is Part of the Job

 After a hard day, you for sure are going to have a drink with your friends. But the Japanese do it only with their relatives. If you are doing this with your colleagues, this is just for relaxation and you are expected to share your opinions about your workplace. Therefore, drinking with colleagues is considered a job for the Japanese.
