About ten years ago, the first coworking space was born in Toulouse.

Since then, these collaborative workplaces have developed all over the city.

With the advent of teleworking following the Covid-19 crisis, researchers have decided to look into the opinion that some employees may have of these places which could potentially accommodate some of them.

Because if in their beginnings, these spaces were used mainly by self-employed workers, today many of their users have made it a base for their day of teleworking, especially when their companies are far away, when they feel isolated. or that their accommodation is too small.

As part of Toulouse Métropole's Vilagil program, which is working on ways to decarbonize and decongest its territory by limiting travel, the Cognition Langues Langage Ergonomie laboratory (CNRS - UT2J) has just launched a major online survey to probe the first concerned about their desires.

Perception and interest of employees

“One of the ways to reduce travel, and therefore greenhouse gas emissions, is the creation of these coworking spaces.

We are trying to find out with this survey how they are perceived by those who do not yet use them and what could be the obstacles to their use,” explains Colin Lescarret, one of the CNRS researchers in charge of this anonymous online questionnaire.

A study aimed at Toulouse employees but also more broadly at those who are considering teleworking differently.
