France has long had a low rate of official remote working, a model primarily embraced by large companies. With lockdown, an unprecedented situation for the workplace, some employees have not been able to maintain their activity while others, who had only ever worked remotely occasionally if at all, have seen themselves thrown into long-term remote working. This remote working has also been very specific in its duration and the importance of determining factors from the personal sphere in terms of the organisation of space and time, as well as the work activities themselves.
What lessons have been learnt from this long-term remote working, which may influence how many companies prepare to introduce more flexible conditions for accessing remote working, and how they will plan for the growing number of remote workers?
