Speaking of work, from January 1, 2025, the American group Amazon will put an end to teleworking. However, he has settled in well with us since Covid… and there is no question of removing him. In particular, it allows you to find a balance between private and professional life.
In 2024, 25% of workers will be authorized to telework one or two days a week. It was only 14% two years ago, a trend which has gained momentum in Belgium. “It makes things easier, especially when you work in Brussels and have a long journey to make. But on the other hand, for social relations, teleworking, I find that it is not ideal“, notes a passerby.
“I find it easy, I save time on routing and all that. I find it easy, but if one day someone tells me it’s over, we’ll live with it“, assumes another. Eliminating teleworking is precisely the decision taken by the American group Amazon. From January, all workers will have to return to the office full time. Here, companies are not going in this direction .
This boss of an IT services company authorizes two days of teleworking per week. “Today, we are very happy with the balance that we were able to find. We do not see any abuse, we have extremely valuable productivity. And all the company’s social partners are aligned on this fact. So, I don’t see any reason to change today, it’s a formula that works“, estimates Manuel Pallage, general director of the NSI group.
Work-life balance is a crucial point for workers today. “Flexibility is actually in the top 3 challenges for employers. It actually remains a very important element to be able to attract people and also to be able to retain them in society.“, notes Kathleen Jacobs, legal consultant at SD WORX.
According to a survey by the FPS mobility and transport, teleworking helps to avoid 34 million kilometers of travel every day, including 16 million by car.
