Back home.
Since the beginning of January, employees who can have been invited to return to their teleworking habits.
But beating the recall doesn't seem to have been enough at this point.
According to a Harris poll for the Department of Labor, only 60% of employees who had teleworked in the past did so again in the week of January 3.
Proof that even in a situation of epidemic runaway, some companies - and employees - remain reluctant to face this new mode of organization, where the boundaries between professional and personal life tend to blur more.

The two years of health crisis have yet enabled employees to find their marks by working at home, and to find the organization that suits them.
Six employees who telework, and who like it, gave us "
the
" advice they would give to better experience teleworking.
Equipped like in the office
“
I don't have a specific room to work in, I am in the living room.
But that doesn't bother me
, ”explains Julie, head of the social department of an accounting firm in Toulon.
When teleworking is enhanced, the employee has a second screen that allows her to work in the same conditions at home as in the office.
“
If I wasn't well equipped, I'm not sure I could cope with periods of heavy workload
,” she says.
Enjoying the great outdoors - when possible
“
When teleworking was set up, at the time of the first confinement, I was installed on my terrace, to work.
I saw the color of the sky and the sun every day - it was still much nicer than being locked up at home or in the office
, ”explains Donatien, legal assistant.
An easier option when, like him, you live in Nice.
"
I was still the only one, of the forty or so employees of the company, to have an" office "outside
," he proudly said.
In the absence of a balcony and favorable temperatures, an outing to walk during the day allows you to breathe.
Take a real lunch break
To disconnect but also to maintain this "
social meeting
" that is the lunch break with colleagues, Gaëtane, employee of a French IT group, recommends taking a real lunch break, away from the computer.
“
You shouldn't work at the same time, nor should you use it for household chores.
On the contrary, I try to really take advantage of this break
, ”she explains.
The risk is being obsessed with both work and what suddenly seems urgent to do at home.
Gaëtane recommends using this time to call colleagues and maintain the social link and exchanges that may be lacking in teleworking.
Arrange your schedules by taking advantage of the time saved in transport
Make teleworking more enjoyable?
The question surprises Laurent a little, marketing manager in the food industry.
"
To believe that spending hours in public transport or in his car is pleasant
," he laughs.
Her advice: take advantage of teleworking to improve your pace of life.
"
I laze around in bed a little longer in the morning, I reduce the duration of my lunch break to create a new break in the afternoon
", explains the Strasbourg resident.
Big plus according to him: in case of craving, the cupboards are right next door.
Maintain physical activity ... even a few steps
A happy coincidence, Thomas, an apprentice in communication, acquired a connected watch at the time of the first confinement.
"
It indicates the heart rate, but more importantly, it starts to vibrate if I don't move for more than 45 minutes
."
At each alarm, the young man is good for a few steps in his apartment of 20 square meters, which he usually walks twice.
An insignificant gesture but one of which he feels the benefits: "
I'm less numb
".
At the end of the day, during which he has walked about 1,000 steps, he goes for a walk to reach the 10,000 steps generally recommended.
Fortunately, this can be done with or without the assistance of a connected watch.

Continue to prepare as if we were going to work
A word of advice comes from many teleworkers called upon: even at home, you have to apply yourself to getting ready every morning as if to go to work.
“
I wash and dress as if I were going on site
,” explains Stéphanie, human resources manager.
Admittedly, not always with clothes that she would put on to go to the office.
But getting dressed allows us to mark the break between the moment
of “relaxation
” and the moment
of “work
”, even if they take place in the same place.
