Amazon, Ubisoft, Groupama Immobilier… More and more companies are asking their employees to return to the office. In 2021, during Covid, 18% of employees switched to at least three days of teleworking per week. Two years later, this proportion fell to 5%, according to Dares, a statistics center attached to the Ministry of Labor.
A more moderate and thoughtful practice
Among the privileged few who can still telework several days a week, we find mainly executives… who often have positions more suited to this practice. For the rest of the employees, teleworking is now limited to one or two days per week.
After deploying it urgently during the pandemic, companies have taken the time to think about the use they wish to make of teleworking, believes Christophe Nguyen, president of the Empreinte Humaine firm: “It's not just a new social achievement which allows you to better balance your private life and your professional life But on the contrary something which allows you to have a new, more flexible organization and which still allows you to maintain an entrepreneurial spirit and develop skills. .
A less brutal movement than in the United States
In the United States, the end of teleworking has been radical in certain companies. Like Amazon, which demanded a 100% return to offices.
But for Christophe Nguyen, it is unlikely that the movement will become so brutal in France: “In France, many companies have negotiated teleworking agreements. So we cannot go there in a peremptory or authoritarian manner, by a massive return of employees It will not pass social negotiations, which takes a little time in terms of dialogue, and implementation of this type of decision.
Companies that completely eliminate teleworking would take a significant risk since almost one in two executives say they would resign in this case.
