[Remote harassment! ] No! How to stop remote work harassment now

It's been a long time since I've written a blog. It's a branding project. It's been about a year since I started teleworking.

At Colorkrew, almost all employees are teleworking, but it doesn't seem to be very widespread in the world.

Why is that? Governor Koike of Tokyo seems to think that remoharassment is the cause.

What is Remohara?

Remote harassment (remote harassment for short) is harassment that occurs during remote work. It's not okay to harass anything, but it's also true that there are many people who are in trouble.

Many people are already aware of the harassment that exists in the office, such as words such as "sexual harassment" and "power harassment", but this remote harassment has become more common in recent years with the increase in remote work.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has also set up a consultation desk on remoharassment on May 27 and 28, which has become a social problem.

What are the cases that fall under remote harassment?

Can you imagine remote harassment? I became interested, so I looked into cases that actually fall under remote harassment.

・Constantly turning on the camera to monitor subordinates ・Asking for online replies within 15 minutes, calling immediately if there is no reply ・Pointing out inappropriate clothing and makeup about subordinates ・Sexual words and actions online

And so on. I get horrified when I think about what I do. In particular, inappropriate comments about clothing and makeup and sexual remarks are normal sexual harassment, regardless of whether they are online or not!

Have you ever had any experience doing it?

What causes remote harassment?

Why does remote harassment occur? It may be one of the causes of anxiety about not being able to see. (Excluding sexual harassment remoharassment)

For example, let's say there was a remote harasser who wanted to manage everything. (Even if it's Aunt Remohara, please imagine whatever you want.) ）

If you go to work like you used to, you can usually see the behavior of your subordinates. I think you can tell if you look at it if you look at it and say that it looks like it is busy~ or that it looks like you have free hands~.

However, due to telework, you may not be able to see your subordinates, and you may run to the forced force of "monitoring" to manage them somehow.

Do you think that monitoring is the management of subordinates? Are you in a middle management position and only manage people, so you have nothing to do with telework and are trying to force yourself to create a job? Are you paranoid that your subordinates are saying bad things about you?

In any case, I think that remote harassment is occurring due to negative factors caused by invisibility.

I would like to think that there are not all uncles and bosses like this in the world. (Actually, there is no one like this in Colorkrew.) In the first place, it is a bari flat organization with no positions or hierarchies, so there is no boss...)

There must be a certain number of things that become a hot topic like this. It's very sad.

I just hope that you are reading this article and are not the boss of Limhara.

How to Eradicate Remohara?

To eliminate the remote harassment I wrote about earlier, I think it is a good idea to keep your personal status and activities open.

Super flat and super open, we use IT tools to open up a lot of things.

(1) Be open about where you are now

We use Mamoru Biz, a business concierge tool, to visualize the seating chart in real time.

Colorkrew has a QR code for each seat in the office and a QR code for telework, and when you scan the QR code from the app when you go to work, you can immediately see who is where, whether they are in the office or at home. You can see the seating chart from the portal, so if you search for the person you want to look up, you can find out whether they are in the office or teleworking.

You can also choose to change your seat or go out, so even if you have a flexible work style, such as teleworking in the morning and going to the office in the afternoon, you can change your status.

With this, let's prevent the attack from the boss of Remohara, where are you now?

(2) Be open about your activities

Even if you know where your subordinates are, your boss who wants to know what they are doing may still continue to manage remote harassment.

In such cases, it is a good idea to use the feedback activation tool "Goalous".

Goalous allows you to share goals and related activities. If you are doing something for your goal every day, you can also post about your activities.

It comes with a photo like SNS, so you can easily see it and comment on it. It may be perfect for a scissors shop boss.

You can also communicate on this Goalous.

If you give feedback through actions, it will be appropriate support, and if there is no action, there is a possibility that you are not working, so I think it is appropriate for a boss to contact you to confirm the situation.

Openness works for remote harassment!

Remote harassment can be caused by not being able to see. And I came to the conclusion that it was open to solving it.

If you think that opening looks good, I think that sensibility is good!

There may be other ways to eradicate remote harassment, but I hope that everyone will be able to live a comfortable remote work life by adopting this openness.
