Nisso Brain Co., Ltd., an interview with female employees

In 1986, Nisso Kosan Co., Ltd., a comprehensive human resources service, was separated from the office automation division, and Nisso Office M2 Co., Ltd. was established in Yokohama. In 1999, Nisso Kuroda Giken Co., Ltd., a technician dispatch department of the Nisso Group, was integrated, and the company name was changed to Nisso Brain Co., Ltd. as a comprehensive personnel dispatch company. As a human resources service company that operates mainly in the Yokohama area, we will contribute to the realization of a society where women can play an active role. Received the Yokohama Good Balance Award for the third consecutive year since 2008.

In 2008, he joined a major cosmetics company as a new graduate and worked as a store leader as a sales officer. He retired 7 years later. In 2016, he joined Nisso Brain Co., Ltd. and assumed his current position.
In private, she married in 2016 and gave birth in 2017. I heard the secrets of working hard as a sales clerk while balancing with childcare.

"The vocational school I attended and the company I joined are cosmetics-related. I thought it would be natural to do what I like to work, but at one point my friend told me, "There are only a handful of people who do what I like." If many people are looking for a job in search of a better environment and aptitude, I would like to support it. To do that, a temporary staffing company is Ichiban! I thought I got a job at our company."

"I was sympathetic to the fact that the executive in charge of the interview said, 'Our mission is to guide people who are dissatisfied or worried about their work in a good direction.' It was also a decisive factor for joining the company to accept my thoughts.

I heard that there are many women in our sales and some people who work at the top, so I wanted to do my best here too."

"This is the job of developing a new company to be dispatched in the NB (New Business) section of the Sales Headquarters. The section has one chief, one member is me and the other, and both are veteran men in their forties. In addition to the NB section, there is a section in charge of existing business partners, but there are about 10 staff members there. The NB Division is a small number of elite units.

Our job is to develop a new company, so we will explain our efforts over the phone and take an appointment, or go out and jump in to operate. About three companies a day can meet personnel. After that, we will talk about the needs and ask for a project. In some cases, the coordinator of our temporary staff asks you to do this kind of work and sells it to companies."

"I have many office buildings in my area, so it's easy to move around, and above all, it's fun to meet people from various companies.
What I think is difficult is the difference in how we treat our customers from our previous job. "Customers" of a cosmetics company in my previous job were individuals who came to buy goods, most of whom were women. I gained sympathy by serving customers with my own experience.

But the current "customer" is a company. Moreover, most of the HR personnel are older than themselves, and they may struggle to gain sympathy. In such a case, we read hot news about the temporary staffing business distributed within the company and consult with our superiors to make use of the knowledge we have gained in sales. Also, I honestly tell what I don't understand, "I don't know," listen to the other person's story, and try to understand."

"After meeting several times with the partner company and receiving the project, I finally stand at the starting point. Next, we will meet with the in-house coordinator and select the best dispatch staff. I'm very happy to say "Thank you" from the dispatch staff who decided to work for that company, and I feel "I'm glad I did it."

"We took maternity leave from February 2017 and gave birth in March. After that, I went on childcare leave and returned to work in May 2018. From June 2016 to maternity leave, they were switched to in-house work and belonged to the Human Resources Recruitment Department. I contacted the person who wanted to change jobs and set up an interview schedule. During childcare leave, internal staff frequently contacted me, which gave me momentum to return to work."

"When I was pregnant, I was worried that I could balance myself. However, when I consulted with a working mother who worked together in the recruitment department I belonged to before maternity leave, I was told, "I can do it with Kogure," and I felt positive. Currently, she cooperates with her husband to pick up and drop off children's nursery schools. I'm mostly in charge of other housework and childcare, but my husband doesn't speak out, so it's easy to do it at my own pace.

At work, what needs to be handed over to the coordinator, such as requests from clients to dispatched staff, is processed immediately. In order not to accumulate work at my own place, we work with the coordinator to respond quickly so that even if we leave early due to sudden illness of children, we try not to disturb others."

"As was the case in my previous job, I like to achieve the numbers given to me. That's why I think sales jobs are suitable, and I want to build a career in this job.

As I develop my career, I want to learn what I need greedyly. For example, I want to acquire knowledge that can respond to any company I visit, and acquire personal computer-related qualifications such as MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) to draw out my strengths. I will always do my best to work and raise children."

Located near the entrance of the company, this space, which welcomes customers, has a stylish cafe-like interior, and is popular not only outside the company but also inside the company. It is a relaxing space where you can feel relieved just by seeing it, such as returning from outside work.
