【No. 2314】Hourensou (報連相)

Feb 21, 2024 23:59
Hourensou

In Japanese companies, new employees often first learn hourensou (報連相) as the basic business communication.

Hourensou is an acronym formed from the initial kanji characters: houkoku (報告 - "reporting"), renraku (連絡 - "informing"), and soudan (相談 - "consulting").

Some people neglect to share information when they make a mistake at work so as not to get angry with their superiors.

However, such negligence in information sharing can lead to major problems.

Hourensou includes important actions to be aware of to avoid such problems and solve them quickly.

It can also contribute to enhancing the efficiency of operations and improving the overall performance of the organization.

Incidentally, hourensou shares its pronunciation with the Japanese word for spinach, hourensou (ほうれん草).
報連相

日本で社会人になると、ビジネスコミュニケーションの基本として「報連相」を学ぶことがよくあります。

「報連相」は、「報告」「連絡」「相談」の三つの頭文字を組み合わせて作られた言葉です。

仕事中にミスをしてしまったとき、上司に怒られるのを避けるため、情報共有を怠る人が一定数います。

しかし、情報共有を怠ると、大きな問題に発展しかねません。

「報連相」は、このようなトラブルの回避や早期解決するため、意識する必要がある行動というわけです。

その他にも、業務の効率化や、組織全体のパフォーマンス向上にも繋がります。

ちなみに「報連相」は、野菜の種類である「ほうれん草」と同じ発音です。
