When I asked company employees about the so-called "telework" that spreads due to the effects of the new coronavirus, 80% were satisfied, but they felt that it was difficult to understand the workplace situation and deepen human relationships. A survey conducted by a research group at the University of Tsukuba revealed the actual situation.
