Teleworking is much more common among managers and higher intellectual professions who constitute 41% of Girondin teleworkers. This practice concerns both men and women, and very largely couples with children. Usual teleworkers have longer working hours: 5.7 days per week against 5.2 days for other workers. Teleworking remains for a large majority a one-off practice: only 6% of working people use it on a regular basis (at least one day a week), which represents a weekly average of only 0.8 days
Teleworking is carried out in more than 90% of cases at home. The main motivations for using it are a calm environment (54%) and flexibility in schedules (42%). The question of transport only intervenes at the margin: only 15% declare that they telework to save transport time and 000% to reduce its trips for ecological purposes. “The only negative elements that stand out are the ergonomics of the place and the work tools”, points out the agency in its press release. More one in two teleworkers (47%) say they want to telecommute more in the future. Far fewer teleworkers residing in Bordeaux want to telework more often (22%), while those residing in all three sectors surveyed (Urban community of Libournais, Community of Arcachon North basin agglomeration, Arcachon South basin agglomeration community) a large majority (74%). At the end of the health crisis, all teleworkers could therefore represent 20% of Gironde assets (13% current teleworkers and 9% new teleworkers). Do they wish to continue?
At the level of all working people, the study predicts that teleworking would lead to a 1.1% reduction in trips and 1.5% in distances taken on an average working day. The estimated development of teleworking would make it possible to avoid every day 33. 000 trips, including 33. 000 by automobile, and 347. 000 kilometers traveled, including 347. 11 by automobile . Figures that should give some grain to grind for political decision-makers and employers to position themselves on telework, once the health crisis is over.
