Yayoi Kotsu Co., Ltd., a part of the km Group, has implemented a senior-friendly working environment by setting the retirement age at 65 and removing age limits for reemployment. The company offers flexible start and end times based on individual needs. Salaries are fixed, with performance-based bonuses. Their evaluation system considers multiple factors beyond sales performance, allowing for increases or decreases in bonuses. This same system applies after retirement, and wages are not reduced simply due to aging. However, after age 70, employment contracts become shorter, and health checks are strictly enforced. I think this company is doing a great job helping older people work longer with peace of mind. It’s nice that their salary doesn’t go down just because of age, and they’re evaluated on more than just sales. The regular health checks also make it feel safe. I hope more companies in Japan follow this example, especially as the population gets older.
I was surprised to learn that the reason the boat capsized was because they caught too many sardines.
返信削除I’m happy because I prodict sardines's price will be down.
返信削除I was surprised to the reason. I've never heard of a ship capsizing due to so many sardines.
返信削除I for one am glad we got a lot of sardines, but I think we should be careful not to take too many.
返信削除It may also be bad for the environment because of possibility of waste. I hope fishermen will be careful because if this happens, it may affect their family budgets.
返信削除It made me want to be grateful to those who work at sea, because they make our lives better despite the dangers they face.
返信削除It's scary to think that a boat could be capsized by sardines.
