Hello!
This is Shimojima, a writer.
Thank you for your continued support this time!
Last time, I introduced free addresses and DX promotion.
This time, I would like to introduce hybrid work.
What is hybrid work?
Hybrid work is a work style that combines telework and traditional office work.
The best feature is that workers can choose the way they work according to their situation.
When you do hybrid work, you can work freely, which increases your work productivity.
For those who cannot concentrate at home, one option is to go to the office according to the corona infection situation.
The appeal is that you can choose how you work at that time.
What are the benefits of hybrid work?
Introducing hybrid work is also beneficial for the company.
If there is room for unused seats, it will be possible to set up centralized booths and break rooms within the company, creating a comfortable working environment for employees.
Recently, some companies have been trying to reduce unnecessary space and reduce office size.
Some companies are turning vacant space into co-working spaces for a fee from other companies.
You can think of various ways to use it according to the changing situation.
Are there any disadvantages to hybrid work?
Hybrid work also has disadvantages.
(1) Communication
Communication is a bottleneck in hybrid work.
We must consider alternative methods to communication that we have been doing face-to-face.
(2) Attendance management becomes difficult
When hybrid work is performed, the work style of people who work remotely and those who work in the office work will be separated, making it difficult to manage attendance.
To do this, you need to use attendance management tools to manage accurately.
(3) Very difficult personnel evaluation
People who work in the office can see the work situation to a certain extent, but when working remotely, it is easy to lose track of the work situation.
In some cases, proximity bias (a phenomenon that favors employees working in the actual office) works when superiors evaluate their subordinates, resulting in a lower personnel evaluation of telework employees.
As a result, there is a difference in personnel evaluation between office work and telework.
To avoid such risks, it is necessary to be able to frequently check evaluation materials, such as task management and outcome management
Colorkrew Biz can do this!
Colorkrew Biz helps you solve problems that arise in hybrid work.
Solve the problem of communication in hybrid work by using communication tools!
Hybrid work can solve problems that make communication difficult with meeting tools.
For example, Microsoft provides "Microsoft teams".
It is a tool that allows you to call, chat, and hold meetings at work in one place.
Easily communicate individually, between teams, and share information.
Colorkrew Biz has a function that works with Microsoft teams!
The seating chart function, which converts the status of all employees into a virtual office, allows you to see a list of "who is in what situation now?", so you can quickly grasp the situation.
Select the name of the person in question on the seating chart and call them to start a chat conversation immediately.
Even when you have something you want to ask at work, it's very convenient to be able to talk right away.
If an administrator wants to know the current status of a team member, it is integrated with the presence function of Microsoft teams, so they can keep track of the list.
You can check the situation at a glance, so you don't have to worry about "I don't know what the person in charge is doing".
Attendance management problems are solved with the clock-in service function!
Attendance management problems can be solved by using Colorkrew Biz's clock-in service function.
Without logging in to the clock-in service one by one, you can scan the QR code of the clock-in service with the Colorkrew Biz app to clock in for attendance.
It also frees you from the "nameless work" where the general affairs manager checks the attendance status of employees all at once.
Solve the problem of personnel evaluation with the list function!
Colorkrew Biz's list function is useful for personnel evaluation.
You can grasp the check-in status in detail, so you can keep track of the progress of each person's work.
If you use the presence feature that works with Microsoft teams to communicate frequently, you can also reduce the risk of neighborhood bias, which tends to prioritize people in the office.
Conclusion
In this article, we introduced hybrid work.
The problems of communication, attendance management, and personnel evaluation that arise in hybrid work can be solved with Colorkrew Biz.
