Hello. This is Shimojima, a writer.
It has been two years since the new coronavirus infection was first confirmed.
At first, I think I was often confused because I couldn't adapt well to the sudden telework and home time, but I gradually got used to it and now it has become commonplace.
With the spread of telework, companies have also accelerated the trend of reviewing the way they have been doing their offices
We will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of downsizing, as well as solutions to the shortage of seats caused by downsizing.
What is Office Downsizing?
Downsizing in the office refers to the reduction of the area of an office where the employee attendance rate has decreased due to the spread of telework and hybrid work due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
How companies downsize
Is the office really the space you need to be productive? For whom is productivity a place to be productive? It is important to think about it.
Ideally, appropriate downsizing should be made while looking at the job characteristics of each employee.
Office Downsizing Benefits
The benefits of downsizing an office are as follows.
- Reduce office running costs (tenant fees, utility bills, communication costs, etc.)
- In the event of the spread of the new coronavirus, the spread of infection can be controlled by reducing the capacity of the number of people coming to work.
Office Downsizing Disadvantages
On the other hand, there are also disadvantages to downsizing your office.
- Some costs when reducing the floor area
- Lack of internal communication and decreased motivation of employees to come to work due to the use of telework together
- Insufficient number of seats for employees when coming to work
Many companies that are downsizing their offices are responding by reducing the number of seats without reducing the number of employees, so when you come to work, you may end up with the unfortunate result of "I can't work because I don't have my seat!"
