Six months until the Tokyo Olympics Companies are working on telework etc.

Six months later, during the Tokyo Olympics approaching, companies with offices in the city center are working on establishing a temporary office in another place or doing `` telework '' where employees work at home etc. to avoid congestion in commuting You.

Of these, Suntory, a major beverage maker, is planning to run a triathlon or other competition near the office in Odaiba, Tokyo, where the head office functions, and expects to have a significant impact on the commuting of about 1600 employees.

For this reason, during the tournament, we aim to conduct "telework" in which employees work away from home or office.

On the other hand, there are departments that need to be in one place, such as operations that accept customer inquiries and logistics.Therefore, up to 600 people can be found at the product development center in Kawasaki and the office in Akasaka, Tokyo. We are planning to set up a temporary office that can accept it, and we will improve the Internet environment in the future.

Suntory's General Affairs Division Kiyo Shinohara says, `` Summer is the most important time for beverage manufacturers to increase demand, so I want to take measures to ensure that products are delivered without delay and review working styles afterwards. '' .

In addition, ANA Holdings, a major airline, worked on telework at the Shiodome headquarters in Tokyo on June 24, six months before the Olympics.

In the office where more than 1,000 employees work, almost no employees can be seen even after 9 am, which is the opening time, and female employees who have joined the office for work are on TV with colleagues who "telework" at home. We had a conference using the phone.

According to the company, crowds are expected at Shimbashi and Shiodome stations near the office during the tournament, with spectators going to the competition venue.

For this reason, during the tournament, in principle, we will conduct telework at home and other places, and we are considering ways to avoid using trains and buses until 10 am even if it is necessary to go to work.

Until the opening ceremony is held on July 24, ANA Holdings will set 24th as a “telework day” every month to verify that there is no problem with business.

According to Hiroki Takano, leader of ANA's Human Resources Department, "Telework has spread throughout the company, but during the Games, many employees will be working together at the same time, so we want to continue verifying the issues and start the production." You.
