[How to develop global leaders] Teachers who have turned pale with the new employment regulations The way you work is the same as the way you teach (page 1/3)-SankeiBiz: Economic information site to improve yourself

"Unbelievable" work rules presented to employees

Our GG International School holds an All Employee Meeting every April. Since I will be assigned to a new assignment at this time, it is also meaningful to interact with newly participating faculty members. However, this year's general meeting was postponed due to the influence of Corona. I think it is very important to have a place to share and discuss the organization's philosophy and values, so I was worried about when I would be able to do it.

Since the state of emergency was lifted and the government gave us permission to hold the event, we had a general meeting the other day. At that meeting, as the manager of the school, I announced new employment rules and policies.

New Employment Rules and Policies

1. Do not bring mobile phones into the classroom

A few months ago we added a new feature to wifi. When browsing content that seems unrelated to work on the Internet, AI will judge and issue an alert. After several months of data collection and analysis, we determined that personal cell phone use during work would reduce productivity.

2. Use a timer to measure time that is not related to work

Regardless of whether you are working from home or going to work, all time that is not related to work, such as toilet time and drink time, is considered as break time = not considered as working time

3. ban all chatter

All time not related to work is considered break time

Employees turn pale

While announcing the new rules, the employees' faces slowly turned pale. I will never forget the expressions of surprise and resignation, such as "Finally, the president has gone crazy" and "This company is over."

After announcing the rules, I formed a group among the employees to discuss them.

The employees were skeptical, wondering, "Is this rule really going to be set up?"

"Tricked Ya~."

There is no such thing as "wifi with a function to determine the content of Internet use", and a mobile phone is necessary for business purposes, such as using a contact book application. I don't time my trips to the bathroom, and of course I'm allowed to talk. GG International School is a lively, lively and energetic place where you can always hear people talking. Losing small talk is like taking away the charm of school. If you really introduce a rule like this, please remove me from the position of president for the sake of the students and teachers.

I made this prank on my employees with a bit of a nasty idea, but I wanted to convey a message.

What I wanted to convey through pranks

When the company tries to monitor and manage, employees find it difficult to work and stuffy. The company also incurs management costs, and it will only focus on areas where there is no intrinsic value. It will be a workplace that is unhappy with each other and difficult to work.
