[Company system] Starting remote work [Work style reform]

Hello, this is Sakashita from the management department.

Beyond has recently started remote work

What is remote work?

Working from home or other locations rather than at a company's office is called "remote work."

It is one of the work style reforms promoted by the government, and is also called "telework."

Effects of remote work

1. No more commuting

You can avoid rush hours and reduce stress caused by commuting time.

Save time and increase productivity by shortening your commute!

3. Easier to prepare for business continuity and early recovery in the event of a disaster or emergency

In the event of transportation disruption due to bad weather, earthquakes, etc.

With remote work, you can work as usual without having to come to the office,

You don't have to worry about getting caught up in traffic.

4. Employee work productivity improves

There will be no more small talk between employees or unnecessary meetings,

Since the factors that interfere with work are reduced, you can concentrate on your work and can expect improved productivity.

5. Good work-life balance

Commuting time becomes shorter and private time increases,

You'll have more time to spend with your hobbies and family, and you'll have a better work balance!

It is also expected to be effective in improving your health as it relieves you of the stress of rush hours commuting and returning home.

Remote work challenges

1. Security needs to be strengthened

Due to the possibility of exchanging important information in the course of business,

Introducing various security systems such as encryption and remote locking,

Security will need to be strengthened.

2. Communication becomes difficult.

Since direct conversation is not possible, text media such as email and chat are the main focus.

Communication will be conducted using tools such as telephone and video calls as necessary.

The ability to write and communicate well, and the ability to understand the thoughts of people who are not right in front of you.

Communication skills will be required.

3. Creates a sense of unfairness among employees

Depending on the job content, remote work may be difficult for some jobs.

There is a possibility that there will be a disparity between employees who can work remotely and those who cannot.

You need to be careful about that.

4. Rules need to be established

Because of the issues mentioned above, each company must establish its own rules to some extent.

Even with Beyond, I think that point is still an issue.

Choose a work style that suits your lifestyle!

Since the system is still in its infancy, I think there will be many issues and problems.

In the future, we will strive to accommodate a variety of lifestyles.

We aim to incorporate opinions from employees and become a company that is even easier to work in than it is now!
