As part of our efforts to improve employee satisfaction by creating a comfortable work environment, we are reducing the burden on those in charge of creating shifts and promoting efficient work. ■ Efforts by Furuya Ryokan to create a comfortable working environment Recently, there has been a lot of talk about labor shortages in the lodging industry, and for several years now we have been working on creating a comfortable and rewarding work environment. ・Establishment of a “designer women’s dormitory” on land adjacent to our hotel and a new employee dormitory in the city center ・Introducing a “cloud-based business chat tool” to facilitate communication between employees ・Development of a “cloud-based video manual” that realizes efficient and uniform employee training ・Improving business communication by introducing “next-generation income” ・Introducing an “online English learning system” to promote digital education for employees ・Outsourcing of reservation data entry work ・Introduction of family engagement program (Reference) “Why has the number of new graduate applicants increased several times?

We have struggled to create fair shifts. Additionally, the burden on the person in charge of creating shifts was heavy, making it difficult to concentrate on their core duties. In labor-intensive industries such as hotels and inns, the stress and time burden on those in charge of creating shifts is enormous, and it can be said to be a major issue that can disrupt organizational operations. Therefore, it became necessary to reduce the time and effort required to create shifts and improve operational efficiency, so we decided to introduce “Shiftmation”, an automatic work shift creation service.

Our company has set approximately 100 conditions. AI will automatically create shifts based on the set conditions. This automatic shift creation function reduces shift creation time by approximately 70 to 80%, allowing shift creators to focus on their core duties, and improving the overall operational efficiency of the inn. Furthermore, by achieving a common understanding that the shift was a fair shift created by AI, the mental burden on shift creators was also reduced. Rather than creating shifts that give priority to those with higher years of employment or those who wish to take time off early, AI automatically creates shifts that are fair and acceptable, with each employee setting conditions based on their preferred work style. Achieving a shift with a strong feeling. One of the benefits is that employees can use their smartphones to complete everything from submitting shifts to checking completed shifts, making it extremely convenient. We will continue to utilize digital technology such as AI and DX to create a more efficient and comfortable work environment.
