29% of employees in the private sector practice teleworking on an occasional or regular basis, this was 27% in 2017. But employees feel guilty about staying at home, so they work even more from home.
What if we worked from home? The Paris transport strike is an opportunity to relaunch teleworking.
Have you received this email "In view of strike movements, employees are invited to consider telework"?
Indeed, the 2017 Macron Orders encourage this practice that is spreading. According to a Ifop Malakof survey, in 2018, 29% of employees practiced teleworking on an occasional or regular basis. That's four more points in a year.
Curiously, the brakes are the employees themselves because they feel guilty about working from home. Whereas, in practice, studies show that, on the contrary, we tend to be very efficient from home. Why ? We do not waste time on transportation. So we use this time to work.
Second engine, guilt precisely. The employee will therefore tend to over-work, and bombard colleagues email to show that he is the task.
In the end, busy days and very predictive.
Can we imagine, eventually, a generalization of telework? We could leave the big cities and settle in the countryside.
Unfortunately no because telecommuting must remain punctual.
Why ? First, the employee risks isolating himself. And never to leave home, we mix personal and professional life in the end and it's not good.
Above all, in professional life, we need to physically exchange. The email conversation is sometimes quite abrupt, it lacks nuance and can generate misunderstandings. It is also true for office life as we exchange more and more by email with our immediate neighbor.
77% of employees say they prefer to exchange face-to-face. There is nothing like seeing each other.
