Today's Emergency Declaration Accelerate Telework Introduction at Companies New Corona April 7 17:35
With the decision to issue an emergency declaration, businesses are increasingly adopting telework from home.
In the financial related company in Minato-ku, Tokyo, telework has been introduced in some of its sales staff, but from July 7, the number of eligible employees has been increased.
Only about 30% of the employees were in the office on the 7th, and they used the web conferencing system to hold meetings inside the company.
The company will further reduce the number of employees coming to work after 8 days, and will, in principle, stop visiting customers directly.
A clerical employee who worked at home from the 8th said, "I used to work with paper documents until now, but at home I only handle electronic data, and I am worried that the method will change drastically. There is less chance of contact with people and there is a sense of security in terms of infection prevention. "
Mr. Hideo Karatsu said that the nature of the business required a certain number of employees to come to the office, but tomorrow we would like to devise ways to work with fewer employees.
