Monday, February 17, 2025

Full remote working has become a major trend, accelerated by digitalization and new employee expectations. According toINSEE, by 2023, almost 30% of employees in France will be working at least partially remotely. But what are the real impacts of full remote working on your teams?

‍

What are the advantages of full remote for your employees?

‍

  • A better work-life balance: Teleworking reduces commuting times, enabling employees to better manage their schedules. A Malakoff Humanis study reveals that 73% of teleworkers feel they have a better life balance.
  • Increased productivity: According to a Stanford survey, the productivity of fully remote employees increases by 13% on average, thanks to fewer distractions and better time management.
  • Reduced costs: less expenditure on transport, meals and childcare: a teleworker saves an average of 2,000 to 4,000 euros a year.
  • Greater access to talent: Full remote recruitment allows us to recruit the best profiles without geographical constraints, promoting diversity and innovation within companies.

‍

What are the disadvantages of full remote?

‍

  • A risk of isolation and loss of cohesion: According to Buffer, 41% of teleworkers feel a lack of social contact with their colleagues. Companies need to set up communication tools and regular opportunities for exchange.
  • Difficulties in maintaining commitment and motivation: The absence of a physical environment can make it more difficult to adhere to the corporate culture and maintain motivation over the long term.
  • Unclear time management and boundaries: According to the OECD, 27% of full remote employees say they work longer hours than In-person employees, which can lead to stress and the risk of burn-out.
  • Technological and cybersecurity challenges: Remote working means using advanced digital solutions and securing sensitive data. One in three companies suffered a cyber-attack linked to teleworking in 2022.
