In light of a recent survey, it seems that teleworking has become a crucial element of the French professional fabric. Nearly 50% of workers are seriously considering leaving their job if teleworking were to be eliminated. This trend highlights a profound change in employee mentalities and expectations regarding work-life balance. In this article, we explore the motivations behind this desire to resign, the potential impact on the job market, and the response from employers.
The growing importance of teleworking
Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the telework has gone from a temporary solution to a permanent requirement for many French employees. This working method has revolutionized not only workspaces, but also the way workers perceive their daily missions. Today, 46% of workers say they would reconsider their job if teleworking disappeared.
A quality of life issue
For many employees, the disappearance of teleworking would mean a return to exhausting daily commutes, less flexibility to take care of children or the home, and a disappearance of the autonomy acquired. Teleworking offers the opportunity to organize your day according to your personal needs and reduce the stress linked to the traditional work environment. This freedom is now seen as a acquired right rather than simple profit.

Likewise, one in two executives consider teleworking to be essential and non-negotiable.
Businesses face a dilemma
Employers, for their part, face a dilemma. On the one hand, they must deal with their employees’ preferences for teleworking. On the other hand, companies like Amazon or Ubisoft have already initiated partial or complete returns to the office, provoking internal protests and even strikes. This resistance to teleworking could be synonymous with a talent drain for several companies.

The balance between distance and face-to-face
While some advocate a full return to the office, experts recommend maintaining a balance between in-person and remote work to respect the well-being of employees. According to Claudia Senik, professor at the Paris School of Economics, this balance could prove beneficial for both employers and employees. A growing number of employees around the world are already considering changing jobs if a full return to face-to-face work were imposed on them.
A look to the future
As teleworking continues to take hold in the professional world, it is becoming crucial for companies to pay attention to the wishes and demands of their employees.
