A company creating management software has decided to make the holidays unlimited for all its employees, in order to give them more freedom.
This measure, based on "confidence", according to the director of the company, is welcomed by employees who will spare themselves the saving of their days off.
REPORTAGE
Take as many vacations as you want, not to mention: it's possible in a company located in Limonest, near Lyon.
The company Anikop, which develops management software, indeed offers its employees to take unrestricted leave.
The boss is convinced by his initiative, which the employees salute.
As a reminder in France, on average, employees have 33 days of leave per year, according to the Department of animation, research, studies and statistics (Dares).

An initiative validated by employees
Anikop has around thirty employees in total.
Leave is at will on the only condition to take it is that it does not jeopardize a project or a company with which Anikop collaborates.
"It's liberating", explains Didier, 50, an employee of the company.
"We can more easily consider going on a trip. But we have developed this formula with the company, to allow the teams to remain efficient. A period of consideration is provided before leaving on leave, for example, to establish rules."
The measure was in fact voted by referendum within the company.

A system based on trust
The goal, for Nicolas Perroud, the boss of Anikop, is that the employee feels good.
"The basic idea is to trust people and tell them that if they need to take days to breathe, they can take them. Whether it's a vacation, a move or a sick child. . Employees can lay down their days and stop counting. In a year, I am convinced that we will have noted no abuse. "
