プロジェクトの経緯 フロア移転にあわせてフリーアドレスの実施を目指し空間バリエーションを用意

経済産業省別館3階にオフィスを構えていたヘルスケアユニット（ヘルスケア産業課、医療・福祉機器産業室・生物化学産業課の3部署）が同じビル内の別フロアに移転しました。移転後の新しいオフィスではフリーアドレスの実施を目指し、フレキシブルレイアウトへの対応ができるように変更。Web会議用個室ブースやソファスペース、立ち会議スペースの設置など、いわゆる執務席以外のスペースを充実させました。

Standing meeting space

導入動機 オフィス環境整備と「健康」の関係への関心喚起

Because this was a department relocation project to promote the creation of health-related industries, including "healthy management," we were interested in verifying data on how the creation of a new office environment would affect the "health" and working conditions of the employees working there in our own workplace.

実施内容 移転前後で働き方サーベイと位置情報による稼働調査を実施し比較

Before and after the relocation, we analyzed office usage from employees' location information and conducted a survey to measure the condition of individuals and the organization. By combining these two types of data, we were able to confirm changes in work styles, employee health, and work engagement due to the improved office environment.

導入効果 パフォーマンススコアが向上。オフィス環境改善

A survey conducted before the relocation showed that the overall "performance score," which indicates the degree to which staff members are demonstrating their abilities, was higher than the national average. However, a closer look revealed issues with "locomotor syndrome," one of the indicators related to physical health and well-being.

A survey after the relocation showed that the overall performance score had improved, and when the reasons for this were examined, it was found that this was largely due to improvements in scores related to working styles in the office, such as "comfort," "cleanliness," and "breaks." Although there were some issues with the noise environment (red frame), we were able to confirm that improvements to the environment had contributed to improved conditions (blue frame).

Of particular note was the improvement in "locomotor syndrome," an indicator of physical and health-related factors that was an issue before the relocation.

Specifically, when we analyzed this in conjunction with office usage, we found that, for example, the more time employees spent in "standing meeting spaces" that encourage physical exercise, the more correlated there was with improved performance in the "physical activity" and "health awareness" factors that are closely related to locomotion.

Areas used by people with high/low performance scores

Standing meeting space usage time and performance score

Looking at the results by department, it was found that of the three departments, employees in the Healthcare Industry Division, which is responsible for promoting health management, used standing conference rooms the most and also saw the greatest improvement in their scores.

We found that employees with higher health awareness and literacy were more likely to make proactive use of the standing meeting space and improve their performance scores.

今後への期待 オフィスワーカーのオフィス空間活用リテラシーにもヒントが

働く場所や環境整備によってパフォーマンスが上がるということが数字で明確に成果として分かりました。それだけでなく、そこで働く職員の意識やリテラシー向上にも影響があるということは発見でした。

今回の実証データを基に組織内部にも発信していくことで、立ち会議スペースを活用して会議時間を短縮する等、生産性高くパフォーマンスを高めることを各人が意識し、行動変容につながっていくことを期待しています。
