Hello! This is Shimojima, a writer.
After the corona vortex, companies that used to focus on remote work have recently changed their work styles, such as mainly going to the office.
I've gotten used to working remotely... It's hard to communicate without going to work...
In this article, we will explore the right ratio of office attendance and remote work for those who have such blur.
Is the ideal for remote work and office work, 2 days in the office and 3 days remotely?
"Until now, I used to work remotely, but when the pandemic subsided, I went back to going to the office as usual.
I often hear voices like this.
How much is better for remote work and office visits?
In conclusion, hybrid work with office visits two days a week and remote work three days a week seems ideal.
A university study reported that more than 10 U.S. companies are planning to change from three days a week to two days a week.
Some companies have given up on office work altogether.
In another study, employees who work 1~2 days a week are more productive than those who come to the office 3 days a week or full-time.
They don't feel alienated due to lack of communication, and they feel that they are working in just the right way.
What are the easy jobs to do, office work and remote work?
It is said that hybrid work is ideal for coming to the office 2 days a week and remote work 3 days a week, but what is actually a job that is easy to do in office and remote work?
We have summarized the jobs that are easy to do below.
Tasks that are easier to do when you come to the office
- Work that handles systems that can only be accessed within the company
- Preparation and sealing of contracts, etc.
- Document verification and mail delivery
- Dealing with sudden visitors
- Decision-making with project members
Remote work is easier to do
- Data entry, etc., work that only enters numbers and letters
- Creative work such as designers, system engineers, programmers, etc.
- Marketing and sales, etc., to investigate necessary customer data
- Customer service and other services such as customer service by phone
Just the right ratio for office attendance. Examples of other companies
In one case, remote work without limiting the number of days per week increased employee satisfaction and increased productivity by an average of 7%.
And the result was that the number set as the standard for sales per employee had risen from 100 to 113.
In some municipalities, remote work was made more than two days a week and office work was generally one day a week, and time was used effectively.
This is because it is now possible to avoid wasting time such as going from the office to a business partner and returning to the office to work.
When we surveyed our employees, 95% of them felt the need for remote work.
From these examples, many people may feel that remote work is easier to work in.
