Risk Assessment of Telework for the New Normal Era

In Japan, telework is attracting renewed attention due to the government-led "work style reform". In particular, COVID-19 in 2020 has led to the rapid spread of telework. However, the current state of widespread use may be attributed to transient factors as a counter to the spread of COVID-19 infection. We focused on the fact that the current problem is the emergence of risks that have been postponed or overlooked because telework was hastily promoted and telework was introduced even though telework was not sufficiently prepared. In this paper, we conducted a risk assessment from the perspective of both companies and employees in order to make telework permanently safe and secure for the new normal era. As a result, it was clarified that the establishment of various systems related to the telework environment for both companies and employees, the introduction of MDM to telework terminals, and the use of cloud computing are effective.
