The news that a major bank is downsizing and relocating its offices has become a hot topic. It seems that the number of seats will be narrowed down on the premise of telework and a free address will be introduced that does not create fixed seats.
Free addresses allow you to use space efficiently, so if you are considering relocating or downsizing your office in the future, it would be better to consider introducing a free address as a set.
However, the road from fixed seats to the introduction of free addresses seems difficult. Where should I start in the first place? For those who are having trouble, I would like to talk about the steps before actually making a free address from a fixed seat.
Whether a free address is easy to introduce depends on the computer
If you are reading this article, your organization is a fixed seat. And I wanted to introduce a free address (or my boss asked me to prepare for the introduction), so I searched and found myself here.
Thank you. There is a long way to go, but if you solve the problems one by one, you should be able to lead to the success of free addresses.
It is a good idea to prepare in advance so that you can smoothly proceed with the introduction of free addresses. It is the computer used by your organization.
Is it a laptop computer or a desktop computer? This will determine whether it is easy to introduce a free address or not.
First, you on a laptop. I cleared the first stage. You don't need to read today's article anymore. Please wait for the next practical article for the introduction of free addresses.
And you are using a desktop computer.
Be sure to read this article to the end.
You will understand why it is difficult to introduce free addresses in desktop types and what you should do in the future.
Why is it difficult to introduce free addresses on desktop computers?
Why is it difficult to introduce a free address on a desktop computer?
Everyone who uses it may have a faint feeling, but I would like to explain it.
This is almost the reason.
I can't carry it!
If you can't carry your own computer, you have no choice but to fix your seat.
Also, if you use a desktop computer, your view will be blocked and it will be easier to get inside. By using your desktop monitor as a wall to your surroundings, you can create your own world.
For such people, free address is like being thrown naked into an unknown world, so there is a lot of resistance.
Even if you push for a free address in this state, you will only have a hard time.
There is a story that when you try to reform your office, you will always be pushed back by opposition forces who want to maintain the status quo, and your plan will be thwarted.
Therefore, if you are using a desktop computer, it is not recommended to suddenly introduce a free address.
I think it will be better to gradually get used to the new environment. If you hurry up, you should go around.
The elimination of desktop computers is the first step in the introduction of free addresses
So, what should you do before introducing a free address?
As a first step, let's get rid of desktop computers and introduce laptop computers instead.
Without a monitor in front of you, your vision will open up and you will be able to create an open environment.
By creating an open and open environment, you can narrow the gap between free address migration and free addresses.
It will make it easier to talk to those around you, which will also help to activate communication.
There may be a strong backlash from desktop computer factions.
But here you should not break.
If you really need it for work, it is a good idea to prepare a laptop + desktop monitor.
If you want to introduce a free address, it is convenient to visualize your seats
This time we talked about the previous stage of making it a free address, but if you actually introduce it, we recommend using IT tools.
The problem that occurs as soon as you make it a free address is that you don't know who is where.
It's troublesome to look for them on a schedule one by one, or to look around the office to see if that person is there.
Now that we are in a corona disaster, we are becoming more and more unable to see people.
Even though you have been able to improve the efficiency of the space, you don't want to be in a situation where unnecessary time and effort are inefficient and the work is inefficient.
The business concierge tool "Colorkrew Biz" makes it easy to visualize seats and solve this problem.
When you scan the QR code, your name will be displayed on the Colorkrew Biz seating chart in real time, as well as your seats.
In addition to going to the office, telework is also displayed, so it is also recommended for companies that are adopting hybrid or rotational work.
A seat reservation function has also been added, making it easier to check and control the overall attendance status.
This way, even if you use a free address, you will not have to do extra work.
Maybe it will be easier?
I hope that everyone's free address introduction goes well.
