Teleworking must remain the norm.
Élisabeth Borne hammered it again this Wednesday at the microphone of Radio Classique.

Very clearly, today, I say it: we must reinforce the use of teleworking which is one of the measures which must avoid re-containment.
I appeal to business leaders and employees to strengthen the implementation of this teleworking.
It is a call to responsibility

Screw turn
The government brought together the social partners at the beginning of the week to remind them of the rules of the game. “
Everything that can be done remotely must be done 100% remotely.
I asked the social partners to relay this message to companies,

The Minister warns that this measure will be subject to increased control.
“
We have identified sectors where teleworking has declined so we contact them one by one to re-engage them.
I confirm that my services will strengthen their interventions in companies to advise, control and if necessary sanction,
