日本(にほん)会社(かいしゃ)働き方(はたらきかた)

Japanese companies and working styles

日本(にほん)会社(かいしゃ)では、(むかし)からチームワークがとても大切(たいせつ)にされています。一人(ひとり)仕事(しごと)をするよりも、みんなで協力(きょうりょく)して一つの目標(もくひょう)向かう(むかう)ことが、良い結果(けっか)生む(うむ)考え(かんがえ)られているからです。

最近は、テレワークを取り入れる会社(かいしゃ)も増えました。家で仕事(しごと)をすることで、通勤の時間がなくなったり、家族と過ごす時間が増え(ふえ)たりするメリットがあります。しかし、直接(ちょくせつ)会って(あって)話す(はなす)機会(きかい)減る(へる)ため、コミュニケーションをどう取るかが新しい課題(かだい)になっています。
