Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, I feel that the way of working in Japan is changing!
And as the way I work has changed, I have come to understand what I need anew.
It is "seat management"!
Today, I would like to introduce the reasons why seat management is necessary for the future of work, the advantages and disadvantages, and finally recommended tools.
The reason why seating management is necessary is because the way companies work has changed
Currently, I work as a salesperson.
Even though I was going to work in Japan, my first experience began with telework. I was lonely...
Currently, I am working in a hybrid work that mixes telework and in-person work.
After all, I like people, so it's a lot of fun to meet members at the company.
The motivation is completely different from continuing to do tele-appointments at home alone and with the members!
In the same way, it seems that other companies are changing their work styles due to the impact of the new coronavirus.
We asked customers about their current work style.
- Return to the office completely
- Continue teleworking
- Come to work only twice a week
- Limit the number of people who can come to work and "book" the day to work
Making an appointment for the last day to work is the current way of working~.
By the way, it seems to be called "hoteling".
If you want to know more about hoteling, please read "Hospitality is perfect for a new way of working!?

Did you understand?
What are the benefits of managing seats?
From the explanation earlier, you understand why seat management is necessary.
Next, I will tell you about the benefits of seat management.
(1) Benefits of Seating Management: Prevents Workplace Clusters
Clusters that refer to mass infection with the new coronavirus seem to be likely to occur in situations where the so-called three Cs of "confined spaces", "dense places", and "close situations" occur.
I learned the word 3 Cs for the first time after coming to Japan. It must be a new word for everyone.
Among them, clusters that occur within the company are called "workplace clusters".
If you manage your seats so that they are not crowded, you can prevent workplace clusters.
In addition, if you take infection prevention measures such as wearing a mask and talking, and thoroughly managing and disinfecting, you can work in the company with peace of mind!
(2) Benefits of Seating Management: Instant Knowing Who Is Where
There are things that are not good because of the diversification of work places.
It's about not knowing who is where.
If you are working in a hybrid work that combines office work and telework like me, you may be told that you don't know where you are today.
It's hard to check your schedule every time, isn't it?
If you are an angry person, you may be frustrated. (There is no such person in Colorkrew!) ）
The good thing about managing your seats is that you can quickly see who is where, so you don't get frustrated.
Analogization of seat management is no good!
