Sensitivity
NAMICS is an R&D-oriented company requiring a logical way of thinking. However, that is not all a global perspective and flexible thinking are also critical. Because we create entirely new things that are not in already there in the world, things like technical possibilities, efficiency of production, or cost-effectiveness sometimes take a backseat to thinking big. Expressing ideals and talking about dreams — so to speak, being able to freely ideate is also required to come up with our next great product.
Sensitivity deals with noticing the nuances whether cultural, geographic, or other details that can be helpful in tackling big challenges. Sensitivity is needed to understand how to perceive an event, how to recognize the problem, and how to sense the emotions of others. Sensitivity leads to communication skills and is the backbone of human resource education.
NAMICS is committed to promoting cultural sensitivity via expansion of overseas deployment. Our human resources team possesses knowledge of foreign languages, cultures, and values. We have a nuanced knowledge of intellectual property rights management, including the acquisition of patents and trademark rights, and continue to promote our employees to continue their education. We believe that a wide range of knowledge and experience, flexible thinking, and a willingness to tackle difficult challenges will shape the next generation of NAMICS.
