Telework evolving in Japan on efforts to cover communication drawbacks

Sometimes I nap at home and it feels like I'm in my office.

Um, trying to improve communication between workers so they introduce a robot? And the robot is the go-between? A face-to-face skype/Line/ FaceTime wasn’t enough or did they even try them? Looks like some executive wants to spend some major cash on a pet project.

"We have changed our mindset to help employees enrich their life," she said.

Hmm? This initiative would only effect a very small percentage of workers. 60% are still trapped in those short-term contracts with no job security and/or benefits of being a full time employee. I’m very sure these people do not get the chance to attend a meeting via Skype.

just use skype you do not need a robot
