Remote Work
At first, My company does not allow remote work except specific situations disaster, pregnant, for example. So I thought this is the first time do work on remote for all employees. But last year, my company did remote work on typhoon (at that time, I was on the way for a business trip)
Now the situation has changed. In South Korea, Many companies are trying to do work on remote to avoiding threat from Covid-19. We strongly recommend work from home, not public places like Starbucks.
Communication
My team’s primary communication tool is Slack now. Slack is fit to work with the small business under 300 people. Slack works well, But the company is grown, and there are many channels for purpose, It’s not easy to control every workspace.
But the company-widely we use Line Works. It’s similar to G-Suite and Microsoft Teams. Line Works include Messengers, Mails, Offices, and so on. Line Works works well for my company (and my company also maintaining this tool)
E-mail is also an essential communication tool for concluding other business teams.
Working time
In South Korea, We must give extra money for extra working. Company-wide rules are quite simple. “Note your working time on the report document”.
My team set a core working time for better communication, But this working time is an only recommendation, not a requirement. We recommend 10:00 to 19:00 for work.
Gears
Some employee uses iMac for work. We gave transfer pee for move iMac, but also rent our laptops and monitors who want to rent that. I also bring my monitors to work at home.
We are set up the VPN for remote workers, and it works well. But a little connection error happens at first.
The office
On this time, I realize the office is a pretty nice place to work. I bought a new monitor, chair, multi-tabs, desk, and so on. This is the chance to change our working environment.
