Abstract

Teleworking conditions have caused various problems on the environment of workers, e.g., physical fatigue and work postures, mental stress from lack of conversations, hard situation with online meeting in a small room through small screen, ambiguity between "ON" and "OFF" work periods, and how to make "OFF" situations clear. We are investigating elements and components of these issues and will propose possible ways to improve the situation.
