[Coronavirus countermeasures] How to communicate internally during telework

Hello, this is Sakashita from the management department.

The state of emergency due to the new coronavirus infection has finally been lifted!

Due to the effects of this coronavirus, I think more and more companies will continue to actively utilize telework.

[Company system] What I felt after trying remote work/telework [Coronavirus countermeasures]

In a previous article, I wrote about my feelings about telework.

The number one issue when working from home is a lack of communication.

This time, in order to activate internal communication during telework,

At Beyond, we'll show you how we communicate!

Internal communication methods

Use online phone tools

In our company's work, there are many departments that work in teams rather than as individuals, so

To create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable talking to you, just like when you are at work,

We use an online phone tool to make sure you're always reachable!

The camera and audio can be turned on and off freely, and can be switched only when calling out or talking to the child.

online drinking party

Due to the refraining from holding drinking parties and other events, there will be fewer drinking parties among employees.

We are holding an online drinking party.

This year's welcome party for new employees was also held online, and we held regular drinking parties for free participation.

I found it very convenient because I was able to have drinking parties with members from different bases.

The cost associated with the online drinking party is borne by the company.

You can buy your favorite food and drinks individually, and you can go to bed right away.

I would like to continue holding online drinking parties in the future♪

online lunch

Originally, our company had a lunch system with members to encourage communication between members.

Since we are unable to meet in person, we hope that members will communicate frequently with each other.

This lunch system is also available online!

The cost of this lunch is also covered by the company.

coffee break time

I feel that it is important to have a moderate amount of small talk because I feel suffocated just talking about work.

For about 30 minutes from 3:00 p.m. using an online telephone tool,

We all have time to chat and take a breather♪

When I was working in the office, I was able to chat easily, but when I work from home, it's difficult to do so.

Opportunities like this are really important.

In-house social gathering (game tournament)

Our company has a system called in-house social gatherings, which are held online even during telework♪

minecraft tournament

People who have done it before and people who are new to it are divided into teams,

I had a lot of fun building houses and defeating zombies♪

*Software purchase costs are covered by the company.

werewolf game tournament

A werewolf game that has been popular for quite some time!

I was not good at this game, but when I played it for the first time in a while, I really enjoyed it!

As the number of players increases, the game becomes more complex, and the psychological warfare becomes more intense with tactics and nonsense.

You can also improve your communication skills!

Even if the location or environment changes, you can still communicate!

In order to prevent this coronavirus,

I think there are many companies that have suddenly switched to telework.

Business is going smoothly, but "communication has become difficult..."

For those who think, ``I need an opportunity to refresh my company...''

We hope that the efforts we are making will be helpful to you!
