さる7月23日（月）、東京、札幌、韓国で働くあまたの全スタッフが一堂に会する「AMATA CONFERENCE 2018 SUMMER」が行われました。
今回は参加総数170名を超え、過去最大の規模となりました。

冒頭、髙橋社長から当期の経営報告や事業方針の発表が行われます。
経営数字はすべてリアルなもので、黒字でも赤字でも正直に報告されます。
徒（いたずら）に社員に隠しごとをせず、「全社員が同じ情報をもって組織に参加するのが、正しい経営のあり方だ」が、あまたのポリシーです。

続いて勤続表彰。そしてAMATA AWARDへ。
勤続表彰では、5年勤続が9名、3年勤続が10名と、こちらも過去最高の人数となりました。

AMATA AWARDでは、会社に貢献があったチームと個人が表彰されます。
チームでは運営1周年を迎えた『天華百剣 -斬- 』チームが、個人ではこの4年間の組織拡大に尽力した人事企画部部長が表彰されました。

後半は全スタッフお待ちかねの懇親会。
料理やお酒をつまみながら、思い思いに会話を楽しみ、会場は一気にリラックスムードに。

懇親会の目玉である「大ジャンケン大会」も大盛り上がり。
豪華な賞品群にみんなの本気度もアップ。過去最高の盛り上がりをみせました。

次回の「AMATA CONFERENCE」は来年1月に開催予定です。
今度は200名を超える規模での開催になるかもしれません。
さらに成長した「AMATA CONFERENCE」をお楽しみに！

AMATA CONFERENCE 2018 SUMMER！

On Monday July 23rd our entire staff from Tokyo, Sapporo, and Korea came together to meet under one roof for AMATA CONFERENCE 2018 SUMMER.
This time we had a total of over 170 attendees, which is the biggest turnout we’ve had so far.

At the outset of the conference President Takahashi updated everyone on current administrative reports and made some announcements regarding future business plans.
Management figures are a reality as well, so he also gave us an honest account of company profits and deficits.
Here at the company nothing is pointlessly kept secret from employees. AMATA’s policy is to “keep every employee aware of the same information and that group participation is the right way to manage.”

Continuing from there we moved on to our special acknowledgments that award employees for continuous service. Then after that we took time for the AMATA AWARD.
We commemorated 9 employees for 5 years of employment and 10 employees for 3 years of employment, both of which ended up being the most people we’ve ever had.

The AMATA AWARD is a special commendation given by the company to a team and individual.
The team award went to the TENKAHYAKKEN -ZAN- team to celebrate their first full year of operations, and the individual award went to our HR Planning Department Director for working hard during a 4-year organizational expansion project.

The entire staff working here at the company looks forward to the employee meetup, which takes place during the second half of the conference.
The meetup gives everyone at the conference a chance to talk and hang out while enjoying food and drinks.

The exciting highlight of our employee meetup is the “Mega Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament.”
There were amazing prizes on the line this time that gave everyone some serious motivation to win. This ended up being the most exciting tournament we’ve ever had.

The next AMATA CONFERENCE is scheduled for January of next year.
By the time that conference is held it will probably reach over 200 attendees.
I can’t wait to see the AMATA CONFERENCE grow even more!
