\nIn France, until the current health crisis, teleworking was relatively little practiced compared to other Western countries.\u00a0Yet,\u00a0teleworking has been<\/a>\u00a0shown to\u00a0have a positive impact<\/a>\u00a0not only on the performance of companies and organizations, but also on sustainability and well-being.\u00a0Teleworking\u00a0improves<\/a>\u00a0working\u00a0comfort<\/a>\u00a0, as well as travel conditions and times.<\/p>\n

Teleworking is the victim of many\u00a0prejudices and clich\u00e9s<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0It would isolate demotivated employees, who would no longer be reachable and who would pretend to exercise their function while they devote themselves to their family or to their leisure activities.\u00a0If they make the effort to work, it’s in their pajamas, on their sofa, without any real commitment or ambition.<\/p>\n

However, a\u00a0new study<\/a>\u00a0by researchers at Harvard Business School and New York University contradicts this negative view and shows that telecommuting employees spend 48.5 minutes more per day in their profession.\u00a0During the confinement, even the most perplexed managers found that teleworking had allowed them to maintain their activities without any real negative impact.<\/p>\n
