[Netease Smart News, December 9] In Japan, long working hours have become a cultural norm, but it's a serious social issue. Excessive overtime not only cuts into personal time and family life, but can also lead to "karoshi"—death from overwork. To tackle this problem, Taisei, a major contractor for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Stadium, has taken an unusual approach: using a drone to remind employees to go home on time. The new service, called T-Frend, is a flying device equipped with a camera that monitors the office environment. However, its main feature is playing "Auld Lang Syne," a traditional tune often used in Japan to signal the end of the workday, encouraging staff to leave the office promptly. The idea is that the noise from the drone and the music could distract workers and discourage them from staying late.
The drone operates fully automatically and doesn’t require GPS for navigation. It will be available in Japan starting April 2018, at a cost of 50,000 yen (about $443) per month. For large and medium-sized companies, this service offers a potential solution to improve employee well-being and may prove to be a worthwhile investment. While the effectiveness of T-Frend is still uncertain, some employees might try to counteract it by wearing noise-canceling headphones to continue working late. Nevertheless, the initiative represents a creative step toward promoting a healthier work-life balance in Japan. Unlike traditional methods where supervisors monitor overtime manually, drones could make the process more efficient and consistent.
