The culture of giving mid-year and year-end gifts to employees from the company
Hello! This is Kanekiyo.. In Japan, it is customary to send gifts of mid-year and year-end gifts to those who have taken care of us. I personally do not give gifts of mid-year and year-end gifts, and when I receive a phone call from my mother asking about gifts for my husband’s family, I think to myself, “Is it that time of the year already?
Mgn’s mid-year and year-end gift programs
However, mgn has a gratifying system (culture?) where you can have whatever you want delivered to you in the name of a midyear gift in August and a year-end gift in December. This is because “the reason we work at mgn is that we support ourselves and work around it. This system started from the idea that “the reason we are able to work at mgn is thanks to ourselves and those who support us around us.” The idea is that rather than something you like, you choose something that will please your family or partner, including yourself, or your parents or siblings who live with you or far away. When the time comes, “Please fill in what you want!” and each person chooses one of the designated online shopping malls and shares the URL with the others. The maximum amount varies from time to time, but in most cases it is 5,000 yen for the mid-year gift and 10,000 yen for the year-end gift.
Everyone is happy with the announcement!Once you have decided what you want, write it down on the spread sheet!
My family chooses meat~
I always have a hard time deciding what to buy, but we usually choose foods that are a little more expensive than I would normally hesitate to buy myself, such as hamburger steaks or roast beef, which my children love. When I think about what gets the kids excited, it is usually meat. When I can’t find the right one, I write to everyone! When I can’t find something I like, I sometimes look at what other people have written and try to copy their ideas. When I looked back at what I had ordered so far to write this article, I found a lineup of premium hamburger steak, roast beef, sashimi salmon, thick sliced beef tongue, Iberico pork tontoro, Kamakura ham gift set, and cut-off Wagyu beef. Anyway, it was meat meat meat meat!
A pleasant system of twice a year for three times a year
When I am selecting the gifts, I am happy to imagine what my family will enjoy (and what will make dinner preparation easier!) while worrying about what to buy. ), and when the gifts arrive and are served at the dinner table, I feel excited.
It is fun to look at the spreadsheets that show what everyone wants. We only eat meat, but there are also seafood items and things that my cat would enjoy, and I look at them excitedly thinking about what to try next. I look at the spreadsheets with excitement, thinking about what I will try next. I hope that this will continue for many years to come, as it allows me to have a little time to relax in the midst of my busy schedule.
Slack for “It’s arrived!” and “Itadakimasu!” reports
