On 29th October, Songsook Social Enterprise, in partnership with Hitachi Asia (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and supported by the Volunteer Spirit Bank and the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (Thai Health), organised a hands-on workshop focused on strengthening organisational connections and effectiveness through active listening. The workshop was attended by key Hitachi executives, including Mr. Somsak Garnjanakarn, Chief Marketing Officer (HAS-TH) along with HR personnel from the various Hitachi Group Companies in Thailand.

Dr. Worawut Waruttamapornsuk, Country Managing Director, (HE-TH), graced the event with an opening speech, highlighting the significance of listening as a powerful tool for leadership and teamwork.

Participants engaged in activities, fostering collaboration and connection

The workshop emphasised the key benefits of being an effective “Listenian”.

Active listening can help facilitate more meaningful conversations, foster mutual understanding and reduce conflicts. By truly listening and valuing the perspectives of others, stronger relationships can be built, establishing trust and rapport – essential elements for effective collaboration.

As the workshop came to a close, participants left with enthusiasm and a commitment to applying these skills in their roles to create lasting positive impacts for their team, colleagues and the organisation as a whole.
