Businesses are increasingly encouraging their employees to indulge in the pleasure of reading. To sign the “Reading in business’ charter, the Association for Executive Employment (Apec) pulled out all the stops.

An appointment was made to attend the signing of the charter but also to listen to Moktar Amoudi, the author of the novel “Les conditions ideales” (Gallimard) The writer read extracts from his first work and did not fail to point out that when he was looking for work, he also assiduously frequented the Apec centers.
