On the occasion of May 1st, International Workers' Day, Éco d'ici Éco d'ailleurs looks at the great legacy of the Covid years in companies: teleworking.

With hindsight, is this mini-revolution in the lives of employees really underway, at least for those who can afford it?

What new organization for men and women?

What is the impact of new technologies?

Is it good for productivity, for the economy in general?

And relations with managers, business leaders: have they changed?

What are the consequences for social relations between colleagues, between bosses and union representatives?

Has this triggered desires for geographical mobility?
