telework is the key to health ? In recent weeks, responding to the health crisis, many companies have allowed their employees to work remotely, from home. But, according to the president of the Medef, this should not become the norm. According to him, the French have a ” need to get back to work “. Telework “is not the alpha and the omega,” said Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux on Europe 1. It is a “solution” that has ” brought a lot of satisfaction to some employees, but also to stress, burn-out, problems of management in the companies “, he added. “I think we need to go back to work “, to ” see “, to “talk” to, to “recreate the richness all together,” stressed the president of the Medef, which “will launch, with the social partners, a balance sheet” on this period. At a time when many businesses are struggling, it must ” do everything to preserve jobs “, also believed Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, who participated Thursday in a meeting at the Élysée palace to seek solutions to the crisis related to the epidemic.

To do this, the “efforts” have to be ” shared “, he added. The employers ‘ organisation request in particular measures to encourage the recruitment of more young people. “There is a coup of huge drag on the employment of young people” and “we don’t want there to be a sacrificed generation,” said the boss of the bosses. The Medef has called for including a subsidy of 10 000 euros for the recruitment of an apprentice. “Yes, there will be a windfall effects […], but I believe that it is necessary to accept it,” said Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux.
