A new way of working "telework" that has progressed due to the corona disaster.

Until now, it was a familiar style for those who had a special work style such as some occupations and freelancers, but it may be a work style that is unfamiliar to general office workers.

As the time spent commuting to work has decreased and the amount of disposable time that can be used freely has increased, there are people who have created an environment in which to live a rich life in their own way.

"My company has promoted telework, but I don't know how to proceed..."

"For the time being, I'm working from home, but I feel like I'm less productive than before..."

There must be a lot of people who have troubles like this.

Wi-Fi facilities and internet security, a calm study where you can concentrate, and access to the people, things, things, and information you need to envision a new business. Now that we can no longer use the business resources that we had, where are the “places” where we can work in abundance?

This time, we will introduce some places that are perfect for telework to solve such problems.

A new way of working in a new era. If you read this, you should be able to become a fine teleworker from tomorrow!

“Telework” has been widely covered by the media and has been attracting attention.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's guidelines, it means "off-site work performed by workers using information and communication technology." Reduce the burden, improve work efficiency in an environment where you can concentrate on work, reduce overtime work associated with it, and furthermore, strive to harmonize work-life balance by allocating "disposable time" created by efficiency improvement to childcare and nursing care. is supposed to be possible.

However, the reality is different, and as I introduced at the beginning, there are some voices that productivity has decreased due to telework.

Telework is a hot topic with many controversies, but how much is it being used by companies?

The 2021 white paper on information and communications issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications summarizes the data as shown in the figure below.

(Source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications 2020 White Paper on Information and Communications)

The information and telecommunications industry, where it is relatively easy to introduce telework regardless of where you work, is actively working on it. you can see that there is not.

After the declaration of a state of emergency was lifted, Keidanren issued a proposal, and now a review of "70% reduction in the number of people working" is underway. With some companies abolishing telework, I am concerned about whether work style reforms will progress depending on the type of business.

Telework is the centerpiece of work style reform. If you leave the office and look for a place to work by yourself, there are probably many people who are at a loss because they do not know what kind of place to choose.

What kind of preparation is necessary for the ideal telework environment to increase productivity?

The "Guidelines for Proper Introduction and Implementation of Telework" revised by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in March 2021 states that the environment shown in the figure is necessary.

・Windows: Ventilation maintenance, blinds and curtains, etc.

・Chairs: stability, mobility, height/tilt adjustment, armrests

・Desk: Sufficient space and height that fits your body type or adjustable

・Air conditioner: Appropriate temperature and humidity

・PC: Display brightness, keyboard position, mouse operability, etc.

In addition, the minimum necessary items for work are "Internet (Wi-Fi) environment", "earphones/headphones", "web camera", and "microphone".

Speaking of luxuries, I want a sub-monitor, a monitor stand, and adapters to connect devices to work comfortably...the list goes on and on.

In fact, there are many places in the city that are easy to work with such an environment, even if not all of them.

We'll introduce some of them below, so why don't you actually visit them and see if they match your working style?

A shared office is a rental office with a new concept of sharing office space and equipment for use by companies and individuals. In today's world, where the sharing economy is gaining momentum, the practice of sharing common areas and equipment in the office has become pervasive.

Until now, "rental office" was more recognized, but in the case of shared office, "sharing (sharing)" is more prominent than "renting (rental)", and the new style It's a place that gets a lot of attention.

Fees are mainly monthly or annual, and the price varies greatly depending on the location of the shared office, the size of the space, and the degree of equipment.

It is becoming more popular as awareness increases, and places with good conditions are getting more and more prior contracts, so if there is a place that suits you best, you should make a contract early.

A rental space is a free space that anyone can use freely as long as they pay the fee and comply with the rules. It is used for a wide range of purposes, including event spaces, lecture venues, party venues, photography studios, and dance practice venues.

It is often used for events, such as a studio-like space with soundproof equipment, a space with microphones, projectors, and screens for lectures, and a room in a tower apartment for parties. The space is sometimes rented out.

The cost is mainly based on the hourly system, which is generated according to the time of use, and varies depending on the location of the rental space, the size of the section, and the degree of equipment availability.

Reservations fill up quickly during seasons with many events, such as Halloween and Christmas, so we recommend making reservations about a month or two in advance.

A satellite office is an office located away from a company's headquarters. The location depends on the company or organization that has introduced it, but it is called a "satellite" because it is installed like a satellite centering on the office that is the home base.

Satellite offices can be divided into three categories depending on where they are located: urban satellite offices, suburban satellite offices, and regional satellite offices.

Urban satellite offices are often owned by companies headquartered in rural areas, and it is common to set up offices as sales offices in urban areas. Employees can reduce the cost of traveling back to the head office from their place of business, and can proceed with their work smoothly.

Suburban satellite office refers to a form in which a company headquartered in an urban area sets up an office in the suburbs. By reducing the transportation cost of employees who used to commute to the city center, we increased the disposable time and ensured work-life balance. It is expected to have the effect of lowering the unemployment rate.

A regional satellite office is a form in which a company headquartered in an urban area sets up an office in a remote location in a rural area. From the perspective of regional revitalization, the national and local governments are actively supporting it, and it will continue to expand in the future.

Cafes have been used as workplaces for "nomad workers" and freelancers because they can use places at low cost even before work style reforms began. You may have seen people working on their PCs at cafes.

With the spread of telework, an increasing number of cafes are working to create spaces that are easy to use as work spaces by preparing Wi-Fi environments.

However, cafés are places where you can enjoy eating, drinking and chatting, and are used by a wide variety of customers, so for those who want to work in a quiet environment, it may be difficult to concentrate.

We recommend that you use cafes that are more specialized for business environments, such as "work cafes" and "study room cafes."

Over the past few years, business hotels that have provided a comfortable and comfortable environment for their customers have come up with plans for teleworking one after another. It is gradually gaining popularity because it is an environment where you can spend time from good morning to good night, as well as having a power supply and Wi-Fi. It is a familiar place for office workers who often use it for business trips.

From one-day plans for 8 hours a day to "canned food" plans that allow you to immerse yourself in work for 5 days, we have developed services that suit a wide variety of purposes.

Although the cost is higher than others, the quality of work environment is the highest level. Why don't you take advantage of it according to your own work style?

If you have a study at home, you don't have to bother looking for a place for telework. For those who have a habit of working from home, such as doing a lot of work to take home or working on a side job, changing the environment may adversely affect productivity.

For those who do not currently have a working environment at home, it may be a good idea to make effective use of the stay-at-home time and build a new study with DIY or DIY. Online shops that handle furniture and office supplies offer high-quality facilities and fixtures at relatively low prices. can also be tasted.

“Coworking” refers to a “collaborative work style” in which employees work independently while sharing office space, meeting rooms, meeting spaces, etc. Coworking space is an environment or facility where coworking is conducted I'm talking about Recently, the number has increased so much that it is said that there is one in each station in the city center.

In the sense that the office is shared, it is similar to a shared office, but in the case of a coworking space, the common space is wide.

Since it is not a occupied space, it is not possible to do things with a high degree of freedom, such as changing the layout to your liking or installing bookshelves. However, coworking spaces are full of opportunities for interaction that more than compensate for the inconvenience, and by loosely connecting with freelancers and office workers who use the same space, you can obtain business opportunities and information. has become a big attraction.

The cost can be broadly divided into a monthly plan with unlimited usage and a temporary usage plan called drop-in. Depending on the option, there are also spaces where you can rent lockers or use addresses.

What you want to keep in mind when choosing a place for telework are "cost", "security", "location" and "environment".

In the previous chapter, we briefly introduced the cost and environment for each service, but let's take a look at the important points below for confirmation.

The cost varies depending on each facility, but it can be broadly divided into two types: “monthly system (subscription)” and “pay-as-you-go system (drop-in)”.

If the frequency of use is high, the monthly fee system is more profitable, and if you use it at a spot as needed, the pay-as-you-go system is more profitable.

In the case of a monthly subscription, not only can you use facilities as much as you want, but you can also rent lockers, participate in members-only communities, and participate in events hosted by the space at special rates. There is also

The price range varies depending on the location, such as whether it is a space near a station in the city center or a space in a rural area, and the degree of equipment provided in the space.

You should choose an appropriate space according to the frequency of use and the way you work.

When it comes to handling customer data and confidential documents, one thing that must be kept in mind is security.

If you have a well-protected company, it is set so that internal files and data can only be accessed from their own servers.

Only when working outside the company, there is no need to worry about files or data that cannot be accessed in the first place.

Rather, what we need to be careful about is security in the analog part such as "conversation" and "peeping".

For online meetings and conference calls, it is better to choose a space with a dedicated booth.

One of the points to keep in mind when teleworking is the location.

If you are adopting telework as a work style reform, if you choose a place far from your home, it will cost you to move, and there is no point in reforming it.

Also, if you have a job with many visitors, choosing a space far from the station will put a burden on the customers.

Choose a space in an appropriate location that matches your work style and purpose, such as why you are working from home in the first place.

The most important point when choosing a place to telework is the "environment".

If your job involves a lot of online meetings or large file exchanges, working in a place without a strong communication environment can be very stressful and reduce productivity.

Also, if you want to concentrate and work in a calm environment, it is important to have a dedicated space where no one can disturb you.

Select a space with the best environment by referring to the information introduced in the previous chapter, "The perfect place for telework."

Good location, 5 minutes on foot from JR Loop Line "Fukushima Station".

When it comes to co-working spaces that are gaining momentum in Osaka, the center of business, there is no other place other than GRANDSLAM.

A co-working space that can be used for a wide range of purposes, not only a common space where you can relax and sometimes concentrate, but also a shared office, meeting room, rental studio, etc.

Various events and exchange meetings are held every day, and it is a space that is very popular among participants, saying, "If you want to meet interesting people, come here." It has an online community as well as an offline one.

GRANSLAM is attractive because it welcomes you even if you drop by casually, but it is recommended to participate in the event first.
