The problem of fixed seats even though it is a free address
I tried introducing a free address, but when I actually operated it, is there a situation where everyone is sitting in the same seat?
When I talk to customers, I always hear that they face this challenge. As a person in charge of promoting free addresses, the ideal is that everyone can communicate and collaborate across departments and positions by sitting in different seats every day, so many companies feel that this is not the case.
From an employee's point of view, the reason is that they want to sit in the same seat stably or secure a seat they like, but as a person in charge of communication, they want to solve it somehow.
Here are some solutions to activate communication.
Mechanisms to Activate Communication
The first is not only a free address, but also "create a space where small talk is easy to occur" in the office.
For example, in spaces where there is a waiting list such as around the photocopier, cafeteria, rest area, and café space, it is easy to create small talk while waiting. Also, as in Colorkrew, the smoking area is also a space where you can talk about various things casually.
It is also important where you place these spaces on the floor.
If you make it easier for conversations to arise spontaneously, such as being aware of the flow lines that everyone always passes, it will be easier for conversations to arise than before.
In addition, in the case of free addresses, there is also a means of lottery using a seat management system that prevents fixed seats. After all, it is difficult to activate communication just by introducing a free address, so you can create opportunities for communication to occur automatically.
Colorkrew Biz Draw Features
The seat management system Colorkrew Biz has a "seat lottery function" that prevents free addresses from becoming fixed seats.
If you put the Colorkrew Biz app on your smartphone and select the seat lottery, it will automatically draw a seat. Users have the opportunity to communicate naturally with people they don't usually talk to by sitting in this lottery seat.
In terms of operational examples, every Wednesday and Friday are lottery days, and other days of the week are used as an operation to choose your own seat and as an event on the first day of the month.
If it is a lottery every day, the degree of freedom is low, and dissatisfaction from employees is likely to occur, but it is said that there is a special feeling if you limit the date to a certain extent, and it is very popular.
If you are worried about making free address fixed seats, why not use this lottery function to create an opportunity for spontaneous communication? If you are interested, please contact Colorkrew Biz.
