[Photo] Return Don't use your smartphone's "scam" message, smartphone troubles that occur in your body So, it's a man in his 40s who works for a financial company in Tokyo that spills with a bitter smile. Due to the prolonged Korona-ka, remote work (telework) has been recommended. Along with that, more and more companies are promoting the introduction of corporate smartphones because they want to increase the productivity of remote work. “Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus, the number of inquiries has more than doubled,” says Masaki Shinohara of Terenishi Co., Ltd., which sells corporate mobile smartphones and provides business tools for remote work. Sales in 2020, the first Korona-ka, are surprising because they are 120-130% year-on-year. What are the main benefits of introducing a company smartphone in the first place? One is that you can not only support online meetings and chat tools without relying on a personal computer, but also the cost of contacting at work like a company landline phone. The point that employees do not have to bear the burden. Next, by being provided by the company, it is easy to share and manage internal information on smartphones, and security measures are also taken at company expense, so it is possible to take all possible measures. In addition, if the data communication fee is borne by the company, it is possible to connect to the Internet without stress, without any load such as speed limitation. It is also an advantage for companies to be able to manage labor and attendance via smartphones. Due to these advantages, an increasing number of companies are introducing company smartphones to improve the productivity of remote work, but like the man at the beginning, by checking the company smartphones, "it is totally monitored. Many people say that it leads to stress such as "you".
Overconsumption is an act of "embezzlement in business"
How far can the company check? Mr. Shinohara mentioned above explains. "Basically, it will be monthly call charges / communication charges, call history, location information by GPS, etc. By introducing a solution service as an option on the company smartphone, you can limit the installation of the application or browse it. It will be possible to limit the sites that can be used. ”For example, depending on the solution service, it is possible to limit the use of YouTube itself. Since it is for company use, it is against the rules to use private calls and apps. Some people may think lightly about private use, saying, "It's okay for a while," but if dust accumulates, it will become a mountain. Excessive use is an act of "embezzlement in business", and in the worst case, it may lead to disciplinary dismissal, so it is wise not to underestimate it.
