This is not a surprise, but at least the confirmation of a basic trend: flexible working is acclaimed by a large majority of French professionals. IWG, the world leader in flexible workspaces with its Regus or Spaces brands, unveiled a study carried out last September among a sample of 1,000 active people, from which it emerges that 78.5% of them feel more fulfilled since they have worked flexibly. The new organization of the week with two or three days of teleworking seems a more than accepted formula, since it makes it possible to combine informal exchanges with their colleagues with the increased concentration allowed at home.
This mix is a win-win situation, since 43% of professionals claim to be more efficient by combining remote and corporate work, rather than exclusively face-to-face or remotely. The habits taken during the various confinements, the gain in quality of life, in particular for the daily management, between school trips and medical appointments: these elements plead for the sustainability of this new business architecture, expected by 64% of respondents.
In this context, a majority of workers want to spend 2 (27%) to 3 (28%) days a week outside their home, all leaving room for some flexibility in terms of organization, since almost half of workers want power choose the day or days when they are in distancing. The attractiveness of employers is judged by the yardstick of this flexibility, since four out of five respondents make it an essential choice criterion when applying for a position.
Obviously, some figures from this study will give some reasons for satisfaction to the world leader in flexible workplaces by highlighting the interest of professionals for third-party workplaces as an alternative to the office or home. 76% of those questioned would like to be able to work in an office closer to their home, 82% of respondents stressing that they would choose a local space to reduce their commuting time.
