What do you work for?
Many people might answer ‘for money’.
We want to have a fulfilling and enlightening job, but by and large we are not satisfied with our jobs and salaries.
何のために働くのか？
お金のため、多くの方はそう答えるでしょう。やりがいのある仕事、自分も成長する仕事、そういう仕事に多くの人はつきたいが、大概は自分の仕事に対して満足できず、また給料についてもほとんどの人が不満を持っていると思います。
Today, I’d like to introduce a story which I was impressed with.
The company, where 70% employees are mentally-challenged person, is Nippon Rikagaku Kogyo (Japan physics and chemistry Industry).
今日は、私が感動したひとつのストーリーを紹介しましょう。従業員の7割が知的障害者の会社、日本理化学工業です。
In 1959, when there were not any act for promotion of employment of physically handicapped in Japan, a teacher came to visit to NRK. She was a school teacher for the disabled near to NRK. She asked the president of NRK, Yasuhiro Oyama, to hire two disabled girls. Oyama was distressed about her request very much, then he said to decline, ‘I understand your request, but I can not afford to hire them. Sorry about that.’
1959年、まだ障害者雇用をしてなかったその昔、近くにある養護学校の先生が訪問してきたそうです。障害をもつ二人の少女を採用してほしいとの依頼でした。社長である、大山ヤスヒロさんは悩みに悩んだといいます。「お気持ちはわかりますが、うちでは無理です、申し訳ございませんが、」
However, the teacher didn’t give up and visited to ask again and again.
‘Please give them only working experience or they'll lead meaningless life in the facility without knowing fun and happiness of work’
Oyama was moved by her begging desperately and came to hire them under the conditions that they would work experientially for a week.
しかしその先生はあきらめず何度もやってきます
「せめてあの子達に働く体験だけでもさせてくだませんか？この子達は働く喜び
働く幸せを知らないまま施設で暮らすことになってしまいます」
頭を地面にこすり付けるようにしている先生の姿に大山さんは心を打たれ
一週間だけということで障害をもつ二人の少女に就職体験をさせることになりました
Once experiential work started, two girls worked very hard all day and impressed other workers. Although their works were easy; labeling, they intensely involved in their workings. A week had passed. Before the last day, ‘We have a something to talk to you,’ other workers gathered abound Oyama and implored him.
‘Please hire them as regular members. If they have something they can’t do, all of us will support them. Please!’
就職体験が始まると二人の少女は社員のみんなの心を動かすほど朝から晩まで一生懸命働きました。仕事は簡単なラベル貼りでしたが、一心不乱に働きました。
そして、一週間が過ぎ、就職体験が終わろうとしている前日のことです
「お話があります」
十数人の社員全員が大山さんを取り囲みました。「どうか大山さん、あの子達を正規の社員として採用してあげてください。もしあの子達にできないことがあるならわたしたちみんなでカバーします。だからどうか採用してあげてください」
