みなしたことあるだろうか。じょうしょうものそくしてこまいるひとや、しんいえうしなひとためわずかながらもおづかからしたけいけんひとおおだろう。そのたいかんがかたに、いまあたらうごいる

あるかいしゃでは、しゃいんしょくどうていていしょくだいきんいちきんなってじょうこく(注)どもしょくせいかつえんするというシステムいるしゃいんとしてたい調ちょうかんつながるだけなくひとたすことできかいしゃとしてしゃいんけんこうささながらしゃかいこうけんできるのでしゃいんにとってかいしゃにとって一石二鳥いっせきにちょうというわけだ。

また、「つき」のしょうひんはんばいするぎょういるとくていしょうひんいちされるというもので、しょうひんくらややだんたかが、しょうひんどうできるというがるさがしょうしゃかんげいされいるいう

これまでわざわざきんしょあしはこぎんこうからかねしなければならないものおおしゃかいこうけんかんしんあってするのはめんどうだと実際じっさいこうどうにはうつひとすくそこつけたのがあたらかたちで、これまでくらがるできるようなりしゃかいこうけんがしやすくなったさらにぎょうにとってしゃイメージこうじょうぞうなどメリットおおなっている

このようぜんためいうばかりなくするがわにもプラスなるかつどうとしてとらえなおはじいる
