“A teacher’s role is to impart knowledge, guide, and resolve doubts”. To further foster a culture of learning within the company, enhance the mentoring and support system, and help new employees integrate more smoothly into the team while improving their professional skills and competencies, KAPSOM organized the “Apprenticeship Ceremony and General Manager’s Symposium” on October 23, 2024. This event also aimed to facilitate effective communication between the management and new employees, as well as strengthen departmental attention and nurturing of new talent.
Apprenticeship Ceremony
A total of six new employees and four mentoring instructors participated in this event. At the beginning, the host introduced the mentors and mentees by department, followed by a tea ceremony and gift-giving ritual. The new employees, holding a cup of tea, approached their mentors respectfully, addressing them as “Master” to show their reverence and sincerity in learning. Upon receiving the tea, the mentors shared thoughtful words of advice and presented carefully selected books to the new employees, hoping they would achieve success and make continuous progress in their future careers and personal lives.
After the tea ceremony, in the presence of everyone, the mentors and mentees signed the mentorship agreement, officially marking the conclusion of the apprenticeship ceremony.
General Manager’s Symposium
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Kevin Yuan, the General Manager, addressed the new employees. He emphasized that “customer first” remains the core principle that KAPSOM upholds. No matter what position they hold, employees must be guided by customer needs, actively broaden their horizons, and unleash their creativity. He stressed the importance of maintaining a proactive mindset and taking initiative in their actions. Kevin Yuan encouraged the new employees to enhance their communication and coordination skills at work, and to build resilience through continuous practice. He urged them to implement the company’s goals and requirements across various tasks and assignments.
Kevin Yuan, the General Manager, specifically pointed out that the importance of teamwork in modern enterprises far surpasses individual capabilities. While differences of opinion are inevitable in team settings, the key lies in actively driving things forward. This proactive attitude not only helps teams overcome disagreements but also leads to more efficient decision-making and fosters innovation. He encouraged employees to embrace challenges head-on when facing difficulties, promoting a spirit of collaboration. By doing so, teams can achieve higher-quality outcomes and help the company as a whole make meaningful progress.
The new employees who participated in the event expressed that the apprenticeship ceremony and symposium not only helped them gain a deeper understanding of the company’s culture and vision but also inspired their confidence and motivation for career development. They pledged to use this ceremony as an opportunity to diligently learn, quickly adapt to their roles, and strive to reach their full potential, contributing to the company’s long-term growth.
The successful hosting of the apprenticeship ceremony and symposium provided an important platform for new employees to smoothly integrate into the KAPSOM family. Through mentoring and sharing sessions, new employees can not only quickly adapt to the work environment and job requirements but also gain a better understanding of the company’s development strategies and cultural values. The company will continue to uphold the philosophy of “mentoring and support,” consistently strengthening the training and development of new employees to help them achieve greater accomplishments in their careers.
