Story of Chopard
The story which I would like to tell is a true one which
delivered by our trainer during the orientation training. At the lesson which calls ABOUT CHOPARD for
new joining staff, there are a section to talk about the Company history,
background, passion and especially an introduction of our BOSS.
Trainer would teach all of us to pronounce his name correctly.
Since the name is in German, and it’s a bit difficult for us to pronounce,
however, our trainer need us to pronounce it correctly before we leave the
training room. It’s because……..
Several years before, when our Boss went to one subsidiary office
for site visit and he met a colleague at toilet. Here are their conversations:
:
Hello (He don’t know the one besides him is our Boss)
: Hello: Oh……yes,
I am new here
: I
am Joe, what’s your name?: I am
Karl, Karl Scheufele.: Car Schefala?
: No, it's Karl Scheufele.:
Car....Oh, anyway, nice to meet you Car.: Me too, Joe.
After that,
no one knows the end of Joe, but the training module ABOUT CHOPARD created.
Through this story, our company learnt that the importance
of training to new staff, instead of company background and information, staffs
are required to attend the lesson of Watch Making and Gemology, which is the
two core value of our company. We believed that staff should know what business
our company is running and why our band is one of the famous leader s at
luxury.
Meanwhile, staff’s morale and loyally were built and we know
what to answer if someone ask me what’s our company about and what's our
company business, especially the value of our watches and jewelries.
Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteYour story is pretty interesting! That's true. For a new comer, it is quite important to know more about the leader or Boss besides learning the organization's history and business.
I'm interested in your story. In my organization-IKEA, activities of moral inspiration also take place when new staff were recurited. Through this informal way, relationship among staff, managers and top leaders were closed. It contributed greatly to enhance communication and future improvement.
ReplyDeleteHi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the connection of the dialogue and improvement. The stuff cannot speak correctly the name of Boss, but it leads to adding of the lesson of Watch Making and Gemology. I cannot see the reason. Could you explain it?
