Abstract
Telework is expected to serve as a core element of BCP (Business Continuity Plan) in the event of a pandemic. However, the kind of telework necessary in a pandemic is very likely to be of a completely different character from the examples currently introduced. Most companies have no experience of that kind of telework, but they still have not devised any training or countermeasures. That leaves the possibility of chaos in the event of a pandemic. Therefore, this study examines the differences between telework in normal circumstances and telework in a pandemic, and the problems that could occur, and discusses necessary countermeasures.
