The first thing that struck us was that the reception area opened out into an employee's lounge where staff mingled happily amongst themselves.
And of course the view...
We also noticed how prominently the Johnson & Johnson Credo was displayed at various parts of the premises.
It was only after we were given a stirring and inspiring presenation by Ms Stephanie Choi, the highest ranking corporate officer in J&J Korea (and a woman to boot in a male-dominated corporate executive landscape) that we realised how serious they were about adhering not just to the letter but to the spirit of the Credo, which itself is an inspiring piece of work penned more than half a century ago and which has stood the test of time as well as the evolution and expansion of the company.
The presentation, though it was not the most flashy of all, and the presenters, though not all of them were the most articulate and flamboyant, that shined through. I think we could sense the sincerity and conviction that all of them had that they were working for a company which believed in them and in making the world a better place. Inspiring stuff.
Which actually served to whet our appetite for dinner - but it is here that I must stop for now for I have to write a short paper to be handed in soon.
