Regular teleworking is “now well established in the organization of executives’ work”, according to an Apec study published Tuesday, which shows that nearly one in two executives (45%) would resign if access to teleworking was available to them. was deleted.
The survey by the Association for the Employment of Executives reports that no “going back is possible for executives” and underlines that 69% would be unhappy if teleworking was reduced (82% in the event of its elimination) .
It’s no longer an option
Two thirds of the executives surveyed telework at least one day per week, including a quarter more than two days per week, proof of the considerable growth in teleworking in this professional category in recent years and the Covid-19 pandemic.
One in two executives (51%) even consider that the use of teleworking is no longer an option but an acquired fact, joining a company without access to teleworking having become prohibitive.
This practice allows seven out of ten executives to organize their tasks according to the workplace, favoring on-site work for collective tasks (61%) and opting more for working from home for individual tasks (51%).
Teleworking, essential but with some disadvantages
Executives, however, identify certain points of vigilance to optimize the practice of hybrid working: they point out in particular a lesser integration of new employees into the team (48%), a blurring of the boundaries between personal and professional life (40%) or even the fear of missing important communications (39%).
These limits of teleworking are felt in particular by younger executives, particularly concerned by the issues of integration and professional development according to the study.
However, the desire to perpetuate the practice of teleworking is not called into question and seven out of ten executives believe that teleworking has more advantages than disadvantages.
The study is based on online surveys carried out with a sample of 1,000 executives in November 2023 and January 2024 and with 2,000 executives in December 2023.
