Seirei social welfare community

Origin of Symbol Markシンボルマークの由来

It is written in the Bible, John 13, that at the Last Supper, Christ “got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After

that he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet.” At that time, washing others’ feet was considered to be the work of slaves. After he

finished, Christ told his disciples that they should wash one another’s feet just as he did. He practiced his doctrine for his disciples. The origin of the name “Seirei”

which means “holy servant” or “one who serves God” comes from here. The outer doubled circles found in the Seirei symbol symbolize such a basin used for

washing feet. There are three colored circles in the center of the Seirei symbol. These red, green, and blue circles represent medicine, social welfare, and

education respectively.

President Seirei Social Welfare Community

Toshihiro Yamamoto社会福祉法人 聖隷福祉事業団 理事長

Our organization started operations in the year 1930, with our forerunners focused on the care of destitute people suffering from tuberculosis. With the passage of time, and in response to the era and demands of the local community, our organization has evolved into a comprehensive social welfare community that offers services in four fields: health care, medical care, social welfare, and nursing care.  With the advancement of an aging society and declining birth rate in Japan, our country's social structure and various systems have also changed dramatically. This is an unprecedented event, so safety nets are needed to ensure the safety of everyone living in our community. Given this, I would like to extend my social contribution, upholding these three management principles. 1. Pursuing our Organizational MissionFocusing on the future of our community, we offer pioneering and innovative services in cooperation with the government and other institutions. We also promote public activities and the disclosure of information in order to further establish public trust as a social welfare community. 2. Delivering Services of Superior QualityWe offer safe, high quality services, through our comprehensive service which is unique to Seirei. As the greatest advantage of our organization's interpersonal services, we offer the highest quality in the entire region. 3. Focusing Efforts on Human Resource Development We the employees will spare no effort in our professional development and in the improvement of our knowledge, skills, and attitude. At the same time, we employ a system to cultivate human resources and enhance training programs with the aim of producing talented and capable medical and nursing care professionals. Although Seirei Social Welfare Community has developed and improved in the past years, it is still my greatest hope that we continue to be an organization that can lend a helping hand to even a single person in need of help. We will continue to preserve the dignity of our customers, support their independent living, and contribute to building a better community.

I am married to a Japanese national, with four children, three of whom attend wonderful local schools. Working for Seirei, I really enjoy their high level of professionalism, and appreciate their respect for my cultural differences. Seirei also offers great health

insurance and other services for their employees. What I love about my work is when I am able to respond to a resident's personal care needs and they tell me "Thank you".

Life abroad is never easy. Being away from home meant dealing with differences in culture, foreign mindsets, and language. There were hurdle to face every day. Every step was hard, but Seirei motivated me to commit, aspire, and excel in the field I have

chosen for my career. I am here now and am currently working with superb individuals who make me feel as if I never left home.

Encouraging Active Participation of Foreign Workers

Recrui tment of Foreign Health Care Providers through EPA

Seirei Social Welfare Community is home to foreign workers, including not only Filipinos who have come to Japan through the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), but also workers of other nationalities. Japanese and foreign workers work together to provide the best quality health care, medical care, social welfare, and nursing care services to the customers of our hospitals and care facilities. Regardless of culture or race, Seirei provides equal opportunities for all of its workers, and supports their professional development through programs for cultivating human resources, and by providing an ideal work environment.⦆

1. As Members of the OrganizationJapanese and foreign workers alike are encouraged to participate in training in order to improve as professionals and to develop their skills and knowledge. During the first year of employment, newly hired workers are expected to attend induction training. This is followed by advanced training, which focuses mainly on communication and leadership skills, and is open to workers who have a certain number of years of experience and responsibilities. Management training programs are also offered for qualified applicants. It is highly expected that foreign workers will be appointed to managerial positions in the near future.

2. As ProfessionalsSpecial training is also available so that all workers can equally acquire professional skills and systematically improve their skills after they are hired. For example, workers engaged in care work receive training in professional skills such as care giving techniques and data recording.

Since 2009, Seirei has recruited Filipino health care providers through the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Consequently, there are more than 20 foreign workers from the Philippines working in the hospital and care facilities, aiming to obtain the national qualification and to grow up as professions. Seirei is scheduled to recruit foreign workers from Vietnam as well in the year 2017 onwards.

Exclusive Trainings and LearningPrograms for Foreign Workers under EPA

Message from Foreign WorkersCome and Join us in Seirei ! We are wai t ing for you!

Before being assigned to their respective hospital and care facilities, foreign workers undergo training and study programs wherein they can deepen their knowledge about Japanese lifestyle, culture, and basic manners. In addition, in order for the workers to maintain the knowledge gained from this learning experience, study programs are held by Japanese language lecturers and responsible personnel at every work site.In addition, Seirei provides EPA workers with a self-study environment by offering learning materials and securing studying space.

In 2011, Seirei Social Welfare Community pioneered a network, which formally started in collaboration with other regional social welfare communities and medical corporations associated with EPA, the prefecture of Shizuoka, as well as relevant parties of universities. Through the network, the members provide and exchange the information regarding the support for foreign workers who came to Japan through EPA. It also provides opportunities for the workers, belonging in different facilities in Shizuoka, to socialize and get acquainted with each other no matter where they come from or when they came to Japan, as well as to share information about their respective facilities and learning experiences through stay-in trainings held periodically.

Japan is truly a country of endless discoveries, with its breath-taking scenery, respectful people, and unique cultural practices. Everything I know about being a successful nurse in Japan was founded on the learning experience provided by Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital.

Every day, I am driven to perform my best at work, because of the trust given by my patients, coupled with my passion to see them healthy and free from illness.

I learned about Seirei when I was invited along by a friend who went to make a visit to one of its facilities. Everybody was polite and courteous, and that gave me the impression that Seirei places importance on people. It was through this experience that I decided

to work at Seirei, and now I am in my tenth year in service. The 10 years of service did not always go smoothly, but I feel so much joy in experiencing all these human emotions, both good and bad, through the people I met and worked with at this job. I will treasure these encounters, and will spend every day with happiness and a smile.

Seirei social welfare community

Origin of Symbol Markシンボルマークの由来

It is written in the Bible, John 13, that at the Last Supper, Christ “got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After

that he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet.” At that time, washing others’ feet was considered to be the work of slaves. After he

finished, Christ told his disciples that they should wash one another’s feet just as he did. He practiced his doctrine for his disciples. The origin of the name “Seirei”

which means “holy servant” or “one who serves God” comes from here. The outer doubled circles found in the Seirei symbol symbolize such a basin used for

washing feet. There are three colored circles in the center of the Seirei symbol. These red, green, and blue circles represent medicine, social welfare, and

education respectively.
