はい、こんにちは。今回は、ポッドキャストのシーズン２の３回目です。今月の終わりから大学の授業が始まります。今日はレッスンがなかったので、下見に行きました。「下見」とは、行き方や場所の様子を調べるために実際に行くことです。

Hello. This is episode 3 of season 2 of my podcast. My university lessons start at the end of this month. I didn't have any lessons today, so I went for a Sitami. 'Shitami’ (Preview) means actually going to the location beforehand to find out how to get there and what the place looks like.

大学は京都にあるので、大阪から電車で１時間半ぐらいです。大学に行くまでに大阪駅と京都駅を通ります。大阪駅と京都駅はいつも人がいっぱいで、とても疲れます。今年の10月から日本に観光客が入れるようになったので、外国人もたくさんいました。京都にはヨーロッパ系の観光客が多いですが、最近は東南アジア系の観光客も増えている気がします。「〜系」は人種を表します。たとえば、国籍がブラジルで親が日本人の人を日系ブラジル人といいます。大学は駅からバスで10分ぐらいでした。山の近くにあってとても静かでした。

The university is located in Kyoto, which is about an hour and a half by train from Osaka. I pass through Osaka and Kyoto stations on my way to the university. Osaka and Kyoto stations are always full of people, and walking through them is always tiring. Since October this year, tourists have been allowed into Japan, so there were many foreigners. There are many European Kei tourists in Kyoto, but recently I feel that there are more and more South-East Asian Kei tourists. ‘-Kei (-descent)' denotes ethnicity. For example, people whose nationality is Brazilian and whose parents are Japanese are called Nikkei Brazilians. (The "ni" in nikkei is the first character of Japan). The university was about 10 minutes by bus from the station. It was very quiet near the mountains.

Idiom Corner

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.
