❤️ Valentine's Day and White Day in Japan ❤️   Konnichiwa!   Reflecting on last week's Valentine's Day, we were reminded of the unique way it's celebrated in Japan. Did you know that in Japan, women give chocolates to men on Valentine's Day? These chocolates are divided into 'honmei-choco' for romantic interests and 'giri-choco' for friends and colleagues. It's a wonderful tradition that highlights both love and appreciation in personal and professional relationships. Then, on March 14th, there's White Day, where men return the favor, creating a reciprocal celebration of affection and gratitude. How do you celebrate Valentine's Day in your culture?   Celebrate with us and discover exciting career opportunities by checking out our open positions: https://lnkd.in/e7Up27bv   #ValentinesDay #JapaneseCulture #CulturalTraditions #WorkLifeBalance #JoinUs #CareerOpportunity #HiringNow #TeamSpirit #JobOpening #ApplyNow #WorkCulture #TeamTime #QualityTime #NGKEurope #February

🌟 Agility Awareness Day at NGK 🌟 At the end of January, all our employees had the opportunity to learn about agile work methodologies and their suitability for specific industries and tasks during our Agility Awareness Day, accompanied by wibas GmbH. Following this, everyone gained hands-on experience through a simulation.   In the afternoon breakout sessions, various aspects and parameters such as Lean Change and Agile Leadership were discussed, and agile techniques like Kanban were explored in depth. It was the first time that all employees simultaneously engaged with the topic of agility and brainstormed initial ideas on how agility can support us on our transformation journey. It was a fantastic opportunity for our team to come together, share ideas, and enhance our network.   📸 Check out some highlights from the day! 📸 A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a success.   How do you use agile methods in your organization?
