Translated from 日本語 • View original Hello everyone! This is Tezuka, who is the leader of Colorkrew's safety and health committee. As a data engineer, I usually visualize buried data from one end to the other.
It was already two years ago that I wrote an article about work style reform. What kind of two years have you been like? Wasn't it two years of being affected by the new coronavirus and required some kind of change?
Today, I would like to talk a little more seriously about the evolution that has surpassed the changes in the Safety and Health Committee over the past two years.
Review of the Safety and Health Committee
Previously, the outfield talked about the safety and health committee.
In summary,
Check the health status of employees and prepare the working environment to support employees to work energetically
Yes, it can be said that it is an organization with the function of a health room.
Needless to say, such a safety and health committee was also affected by the new coronavirus.
The way of life has changed. The Safety and Health Committee must also evolve!
Under the influence of the new coronavirus, as you know, the way of life has changed.
Wearing a mask has become a normal practice, and hand disinfection has become quite popular.
Remote work has become a new way of working, and people come to work less often.
As a result, I met people less.
As you can see from the post from Koshiba, the way Colorkrer works has changed. The Safety and Health Committee was forced to further evolve due to such dramatic changes in the surroundings.
Evolution point 1: Let's have everyone patrol the workplace!
Remote work during the coronavirus pandemic has been taken into account, and workplace patrols are no longer an absolute must. It's unavoidable because I don't use my workplace in the first place. However, even though it is mainly remote work, there are members who go to the company if necessary, so I wanted to at least check the workplace environment for those members.
As you know, Colorkrew uses Goalous to share information. The members who come to work report on the good and bad things of the day.
We check here, for example, to see if there are enough hygiene products, if there are any extremely dirty areas, and if there are any expired items in the refrigerator.
It's like patrolling the workplace while working remotely, and it's Goalous.
Evolution point 2: Don't stop interviewing industrial doctors!
The safety and health committee, which meets once a month, has also been conducted completely remotely. Of course, Dr. Ito, an industrial physician, also participates remotely.
I also assumed a mental downturn caused by the corona disaster, and I didn't want to stop the industrial doctor interview. Then I decided to do one thing, and to conduct an interview with an industrial physician remotely.
We also implemented a remote health consultation room to create an environment where people can consult about health hazards unique to remote work.
Evolution point 3: Create a self-care opportunity with a health questionnaire!
By the time the first state of emergency was over and the summer had passed, I had completely gotten used to remote work, and a new way of life had become common sense. At the same time, I felt that it was becoming difficult to grasp my health status compared to the days when there was no change.
Someone will tell you something about a health problem that you don't notice in some way.
Talk to someone about their poor health
It is also called a mutual health check function, which allows each other to check each other's health status through casual communication. If you go to work, you will be able to do that.
However, under remote work, the mutual health check function hardly worked, and it was easy to imagine that the mutual health check function would slowly deteriorate without noticing the lack of daily changes.
Therefore, by asking people to reflect on their health compared to last month, I decided to conduct a health questionnaire as an opportunity to make them realize that they were not feeling well or that they were feeling a little down.
Ask the same questions every month.
How are you feeling compared to last month?
If you say "it has gone bad", I will ask you to tell me a little more detail about which items have gone bad.
I think this will allow you to ask yourself about your current health condition and lead to self-care.
Evolution point 4: Let's send out a news letter!
The effects of health questionnaires are not limited to self-care. We check the results and respond individually. In addition, the purpose is to come up with effective measures by aggregating and collecting them.
However, there is no measure, and there is content that can be advised.
Therefore, the Safety and Health Committee decided to send out a news letter like advice on Goalous with all members.
Extract issues through group analysis⇒ Advise with a news letter⇒ Good effect on members⇒ Extract issues through group analysis again
We are aiming to become a cycle.
For example,
- Muscle training that can be done easily ⇒ many members complain of back pain
- There were many comments about lack of exercise⇒ Recommendation for a walk
- Many symptoms are caused by disturbances in the autonomic nervous system⇒ Acupuncture points to regulate the autonomic nervous system
The content is wide depending on the area in which each member of the Safety and Health Committee is good at. This is also a feature of Colorkrer.
In addition, since the proportion of foreigners has increased recently, there is also a content that foreign members who have participated in the Safety and Health Committee from this year will send advice based on their own actual experiences, and I hope that it will be properly delivered to all Colorkrers.
Conclusion
As we did two years ago, we are easily aggregating and visualizing various data such as attendance data, turning them into reports and using them for analysis. The types of reports are increasing rapidly, and with them, the number of analyses that can be analyzed without increasing the man-hours of members is increasing. *I won't talk about it this time, but my main job (?) We are also looking forward to hearing from you about the construction of an analysis environment and consulting using Microsoft Power BI (laughs).
In addition, the open corporate culture of Bali Flat and the mutual communication using Goalous make Colorkrew's mental health environment in a good state.
However, even in such a state, the impact of the new coronavirus is great, and it will be a measure created by all members while worrying about it every day.
We hope that it will be of some help to your company's mental health measures during the corona disaster.
I hope to be able to talk about whether this measure had a good effect or was not good in two years!
Then!
