Kyaizen An Old New Quality Concept
The Japanese word 'Kaizen' means gradual, unending improvement; doing little things better; setting - and achieving - ever-higher standards. Masaaki Imai, the author of a book with the same title in the late eighties, says that it is Kaizen that is the simple truth behind Japan's economic miracle and the real reason the Japanese have become the masters of "flexible manufacturing" technology - the ability to adapt manufacturing processes to changing customer and market requirements, and do it fast.
Employee Benefits: A New Perk for the Broken Hearted
Hime & Co., a Japanese company founded by 37-year-old Miki Hiradate offers employees paid time off to heal from a broken heart.

Lesson #3: When we see something that could be done better, we do it

Involve your employees in your business
You may be saying - but I do involve my employees in my business...but do you? Of course your employees to do the work of the business and the employees, with the right direction, make any business great as it expands, but there are not many business owners that involve their employees in helping with important decisions. I would suggest that you ask them their opinion on various expansion ideas or where you are looking at introducing new products or services get their input on this. Also, ask them how to improve on customer service, especially those employees that are on the front line, as it were...as these are the ones that are dealing with the customers directly and are therefore likely to give you some of the best feedback.

An employee’s attitude about the organization shows in his / her productivity and quality of work. In order to keep such employees stimulated, organizations have to keep their employees engaged.
Reiki, Astorlogy and Jyotish
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese energy technique for helping stress reduction and relaxation that also enhances and promotes healing. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words; Rei, which means “Gods Wisdom, or the “Higher Power” and the second word “Ki” which refers to the “life force energy”. Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy." Reiki was discovered around 1922 in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki System of Healing.
