According to a study by the Dares, the statistical institute of the Ministry of Labor, published Tuesday morning, 11% of executives in France have teleworked at least once a week, in 2017. And overall, according to the study, teleworkers are not more satisfied with their situation than their colleague ... but no less.
The main advantage is the time saved in transport. Jamal has been working from home one day a week for three years. "It allows me to avoid three and a half hours of transport a day," he says. "Even if we work more at home, on this one there is no picture!" Less transport time, but more work.
35 minutes more work
The most intensive teleworkers, those who do it at least two days a week, work on average 35 minutes more than their colleagues, who go to the workplace every day. "Intensive" teleworkers even say "twice as often working more than 50 hours a week," according to the study.
The risk is to get carried away. Hence the need to discipline, recognizes Christelle. "It's true that we tend to work a lot more than if we were at the office," she says, "we're more focused, we're doing things together, but I can limit myself!"
A risk of isolation
Another risk mentioned: isolation. Colette has identified him and pleads for a mix between telecommuting and office work. "Beyond two days a week, it would be much too much.We should not cut ourselves off from our colleagues, from our services.And then, it's always interesting to be at our place of work to have more information .
