Expert "Polarizing the impact on life and mind and body by prolonging the period"

Professor Kouji Mori of the University of Occupational and Environmental Health, who is an industrial physician and is familiar with corporate infection control, said that many people were feeling the impact on their lives and mental and physical fatigue as the corona countermeasures were prolonged. People who have been able to respond to changes due to major changes in their work environment have begun to create their own rhythms in the new environment, while those who have not been able to respond to changes have increased the amount of alcohol, for example. I still have problems and it is possible that they will become even more serious in the future. I think that such a polarization will progress with the prolongation of the corona. "

Regarding the fact that only about 20% to 30% of the people had changes in their working styles compared to before the spread of the infection, "In our survey, there is a difference in the introduction rate of telework depending on the size of the company. Therefore, it is possible that small-scale workplaces are not equipped with facilities that enable smooth teleworking. "

On top of that, it can be assumed that due to the rapid expansion of the highly infectious Omicron strain, one person in the workplace, and if an infected person appears, there will be many times or tens of times as many close contacts, and the business will not be able to stand. Such a situation may occur even in a company that has survived the wave of infection without introducing a new way of working, and from the viewpoint of "not making close contacts", what the company can do immediately I want you to talk. It is important not only to make capital investment, but also to put in place a system for evaluating employees and a mechanism to eliminate anxiety caused by reduced communication. "
