Three Reasons You Can't Leave on Time and Recommended Tools for Improving Work Efficiency

Even with work style reforms, overtime isn't decreasing! Here are three reasons why you can't leave on time and measures to address them in five minutes.

In Japanese companies, overtime has been the norm for a long time, but in 2018, under the Abe administration, "work style reform" was implemented, including a review of the upper limits on overtime hours. However, are employees really able to leave work on time? The reason is that since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, telework has been introduced, and on the surface, it seems that overtime hours have decreased. However, more than 60% of respondents reported that they are working longer hours than before, and over 50% are in a "hidden overtime" state, not applying for overtime pay, according to survey results. Therefore, this time, for those who want to be freed from overtime and hidden overtime, I will summarize the current situation of overtime in Japan, the three reasons why people cannot leave work on time, and countermeasures in a way that can be understood in five minutes. Lastly, I will introduce a business tool that is very effective as a countermeasure against hidden overtime in telework. *For more detailed information, you can view it through the related links.
