[Re-declaration of a state of emergency! ] Can a company's telework achieve a "70% reduction in the number of people going to work"?

At the beginning of 2021, the new coronavirus infection exploded again...

The number of infected people has increased, and a second state of emergency has been declared. Moreover, in addition to 1 Tokyo and 3 prefectures, the target area has been expanded to 7 new prefectures, and the sense of crisis is rising again in various places.

In this declaration, it was requested that companies promote telework (reduce the number of people going to work by 70%) .

In 2020, we felt that our work style had changed drastically and a new way of working was taking hold, but in fact, some companies are still slowing down on the introduction of telework, and the survey results show that the implementation rate of telework is on the decline.

Why are telework and new ways of working not taking hold? We have introduced various initiatives and measures to prepare for corona infection countermeasures, but this time we will once again summarize the challenges of introducing telework and what companies should do to achieve a "70% reduction in the number of people going to work".

The second state of emergency! What do companies do?

Unlike the previous declaration of a state of emergency, it was requested to focus on effective targets and take limited measures.

• Reduced opening hours of restaurants until 8 p.m.
• 70% reduction in the number of people commuting to work through telework
• Refrain from going out after 8 p.m.
• Event Limit

Among them, "reducing the number of people going to work by 70% through telework" can be said to be an important issue for companies.

However, according to a survey conducted by the Cabinet Office in May and December last year, the telework implementation rate has decreased from 27.7% in May to 21.5% in December.

Overall, although the number of companies introducing telework is increasing, the penetration rate is still about 20% of the total. Why is telework not so established in Japan in the first place? There are four main causes and reasons:

1. Security issues and concerns
2. Difficulty in managing attendance and understanding work status
3. Lack of telework facilities and environment
4. Deep-rooted corporate culture of stamps and paper documents

First of all, one of the major factors that hinder the introduction of telework is that many companies cite security issues, and I feel that the hurdles are high.

Another issue is that it is difficult to understand who is working when. There are limits to managing with Excel and paper, and at the same time, there is no name for attendance management. I often hear that the number is increasing.

Also, we are told to go paperless, but we can't turn a blind eye to the current situation where we have to come to work to handle documents.

In this way, the introduction of telework requires various measures such as the development of security measures, the introduction of new tools for new work styles, the development of attendance management systems, and the transition to paperlessness.

In addition to corona infection countermeasures, all the people in charge of companies that need to prepare these environments and facilities are very busy. In the past, there have been many cases where the measures of companies have completely changed due to the increase or decrease in the number of infected people.
