"What's next?" That proactivity leads to growth not only for oneself but for the whole team [The culture of an ace who energizes the workplace beyond their assigned duties]
Hello, this is Watanabe from Howa Forging.

In our previous article, I talked about how the forging department at Howa Forging is a warm and energetic workplace where everyone embraces the intuition of "I want to try this" or "That looks cool."
🔗"That looks cool! I think I can do that too." It's okay to trust that intuition.
Today, as a [Practical Application] of that, I will share the story of a young employee who is currently shining with an overwhelming presence as a "reliable ace" on the front lines of our workplace.
During his student days, he was part of a sports club, but he experienced the frustration of not being able to achieve the results he had hoped for at the time. After that, through various twists and turns, he joined Howa Forging.
Why is he now an "indispensable" core member of our energetic team? It is not just because of his own guts, but also deeply related to the "soil" of Howa Forging that accepts and nurtures that spirit.
Going beyond your own duties and roles to energize the workplace
The forging site is a world that demands overwhelming heat and speed, where iron heated to 1200 degrees is struck with giant hammers. It becomes a tough environment, especially on hot summer days, but the workplace where professional pride clashes is always filled with a unique intensity.
It happened on one such summer day.
In the sweltering heat that would make even the toughest craftsman want to take a breath, there was one young man moving with such unbelievable power that he seemed to be pulling everyone else along with him.
That was him, the one who once knew the frustration of incomplete combustion.
He didn't just efficiently carry out the work on his own line; he instantly sensed the situation on other lines, jumped in himself saying, "What's next? I'll help!", and even took the initiative to transport the finished products.
The spirit of going beyond your own duties and roles to help colleagues in need and further accelerate the speed of the workplace.
If this were a workplace where everyone was indifferent, he might have been told to "stop doing unnecessary things." However, at Howa Forging, there were colleagues who accepted his thoughtful guts and kindness with a smile, saying, "Oh, thank you! That's a big help!"
Because he has "colleagues who understand," he was able to freely explode the energy he possessed and become an "ace" who energizes the workplace.
Furthermore, how did he, who joined with no experience, become able to act with such a broad perspective? We explain our unique training policy in detail in a past article.
Come and see for yourself: "I think I can do this here"
In the workplace, long words are unnecessary.
Beautiful teamwork is established just by speaking in loud voices, using short keywords, and using eye contact and hand signals to coordinate timing.
He likes moving his body so much that he even goes to the gym after work.
Also, in his work, he finds the excitement of seeing the results of his own ingenuity immediately reflected in the product irresistible. Saying this, they truly enjoy this dynamic workplace.
"That looks kind of cool."
"If I join that circle, I think I could do it too."
If you have an intuition that tells you that, you can trust it.
If you tour the factory and it turns into a "I want to try it!" feeling, that's your chance to apply.
Happily, through factory tours, three new colleagues have resonated with that atmosphere and decided to join the company.
If your heart is moved even a little, please trust that intuition.
First of all, please come for a "factory tour." Our warm members will welcome you with open arms.
We have released a simulation game for training forging craftsmen on our company website.
Please, give it a try yourself. Forging is the ultimate rhythm game.
