Selkis, la Fondation Jean Jaurès et la Friedrich Ebert Stiftung ont mené ensemble une enquête européenne pour comprendre la manière dont les organisations du travail ont changé à la suite de la pandémie.
De cette enquête quantitative auprès de 6000 salariés dans six pays européens (France, Allemagne, Suède, Finlande, Espagne), retenons ici deux principaux éléments.
Premièrement, le bureau n’est pas mort, contrairement à ce qui a été un peu vite affirmé au printemps 2020. En effet, 73% des salariés européens souhaitent travailler au bureau, à un moment de leur semaine ; 42% des salariés souhaitent une organisation mixte (moitié au bureau, moitié en télétravail).
Deuxièmement, un modèle européen du travail émerge et s’installe. Alors même que le développement du télétravail était très différent dans les pays du panel (en Espagne ou en Pologne on comptait moins de 5% de télétravailleurs, et plus de 20% en Suède), trois ans après, le modèle d’organisation du travail est quasiment identique. En effet, les modalités d’organisation et le rythme s’homogénéisent ; quelques principes communs sont posés, tels le volontariat, la liberté de choisir le lieu du télétravail, l’équipement et les frais à la charge de l’employeur ; l’hybridation du travail s’installe (entre 2 et 3 jours par semaine au bureau) et semble et satisfaire les salariés comme les entreprises qui y trouvent chacun des avantages différents.

How has the pandemic changed work organization in Europe?
The pandemic has, as we all know, turned work upside down. Since then the home office has been strongly developed and going back now seems impossible. Three years later, it’s time to learn and understand how office work is evolving.
Before the pandemic, the differences regarding home office in Europe was significant : approximately 5% of Spanish people were working from home versus more than 30% of Dutch and Swedish people who were used to working from home regularly.
The Fondation Jean Jaurès, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Selkis Consulting commissioned a study of 6000 employees in six European countries (France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Poland).
We especially wanted to find out two things. Is a common model of work organization emerging ? And do the employees from these six different countries have the same expectations about work conditions?
Two main findings should be noted.
First, the office is not dead. Despite what we heard and read in Spring 2020 when we thought the office might not be necessary anymore. According to our study, 73% of European employees want to spend part of their workweek at the office ; 42% want to have a hybrid system : half in the office, half working from home.
Secondly, a common European model of work organization is emerging and settling in. Some rules are already being established : remote work cannot be enforced, employees are not obligated to work in their actual homes, and equipment and extra costs have to be paid by the employer. The rhythm is also relatively the same between the countries : around 2 days or 2 ½ days home office a week. Both employees and employers seem to be satisfied with this rhythm. Three years later, what used to be a very big discrepancy between these European countries has almost disappeared.
All the findings of this study show that the home office is upending work, its future, and how and where it is done. 83% of the European employees in this study want to be consulted about work organization, especially the youngest (87% of 25-39 year-olds). We need to spend more time talking about work, thinking about work, organizing work !
