◆ ジェニーさんはアメリカにいたときに社内で移動の経験などはありましたか?
(14:04)
Yes, but only within my district. So, I didn't have to move. And usually transfers are for employees who want them, kind of like a promotion or if the office is moving or closing down. So I think it's rare that an employee is transferred when they don't want to or to have them live separately from their family.

Well, in the states, we want to make the transition as smooth as possible with things like manuals and schedules. But I don't think that this process is quite as intense as it is in Japan.
