Fujitsu Day 2013

Every year, our company celebrates Fujitsu Day in honor of our founding.  This year, we celebrated our 78^th year.  Being in HR, I have been able to serve on several committees for the event to coordinate the t-shirts, giveaways, and fun for the day! 

T-shirts are always a touchy subject with our employees – you can never please everyone.  We caught a lot of grief last year over the shirts (that we did NOT pick out).  We just knew we had to do better this year.  And, we did.  Casual, comfortable, simple.

Fujitsu Day is such a big deal, they had a famous opera singer in Japan sing our Fujitsu Day song.  Some might say it is lacking in appeal for most Americans, so we had one of our employees and his band revamp it this year to a tune we all know and love.  It was a HIT!  What do you think?  {old version vs. new version}

The band also played before and after the ceremony, and we had some photo booths for employees to get group shots with their teams. Below are some of my favorite shots with my HR team.

It was a lot of fun.  (Can't you tell?)  Lucky for us, the feedback from the employees has been all positive saying it is the best Fujitsu Day yet!  While I am glad it was a success, I am already nervous about how we are going to top it next year!  Any suggestions are welcome!
