Telecommuting, or work from home, has become the norm in many companies. It's popular for its flexibility, but requires good organization, specific skills and a clear professional framework. Here's everything you need to know to prepare for it.
At Crews, training is entirely online and live, with 1 week of classes per month, a pace designed to promote autonomy, personal balance and flexibility.
According to INSEE, almost 40% of French employees will have teleworked at least partially by 2023. In the digital sector, this figure exceeds 70%. The spread of teleworking is prompting companies to rethink their organization, and employees to increase their autonomy.
The professions that best lend themselves to Work From Home are digital marketing, design, no-code development, communications and project management - all skills taught at Crews.
Telecommuting requires a strong ability to organize without direct supervision. You need to be able to plan your tasks, meet deadlines and maintain clear communication with your team. Rigor is essential. One of the challenges of teleworking is the ability to self-organize. In Synchronous Online , Crews learners learn how to manage their schedules, express themselves clearly in video and meet deadlines, just as they would in a remote working environment.
From CRM to Trello, Slack to Notion, digital tools are the foundation of remote working. A course such as Community Manager or Social Ads includes the daily use of these tools.
Work from home is often perceived as a luxury, but its benefits are real and manifold:
At Crews, the rhythm of 1 week of classes and 3 weeks of free time (or work at the company for those on work-study programs) means that you can experience the advantages of the WFH in practice, while training for compatible professions.
Adopting the WFH has many advantages: eliminating commuting time, the comfort of one's own space and great flexibility in the organization of the day. However, this way of working also raises a number of important challenges. Without a clearly defined framework, it's easy for the boundaries between professional and personal life to blur, which can lead to work overload. Working from home can also lead to feelings of social isolation, especially in the absence of regular interaction with colleagues. To maintain a good balance, it's essential to set clear limits, structure your day and, if necessary, alternate with days in a coworking space, with relatives or in other stimulating environments to break the solitude.
At Crews, we train our students in synchronous Online mode, to give them this flexibility right from the start, but also to enable them to acquire the skills of working remotely and rigorously from home. We also organize seminars during the course of the academic year, so that the different classes can get to know each other and forge links.
To make a successful transition to work from home, it's essential to train progressively, in a suitable environment. The ideal way to start is with a flexible training program that gives you time to get to grips with the demands of working remotely. At Crews, the one-week-a-month format allows students to experiment smoothly with this new organization. This flexible model encourages autonomy and self-paced learning, while preparing students for WFH-compatible professions such as digital, marketing ande-commerce.
Digital professions are the most sought-after for teleworking. These include:
All these professions can be prepared for through Crews' professional training courses, which are both financeable and adapted to independent living.
Work from home is more than just a trend: it's a new standard in many digital professions. It offers great opportunities if you're well trained, structured and motivated. At Crews, we support people who want to work differently, from anywhere.
There are three types of telecommuting: Regular (provided for by contract or rider, often weekly), Occasional (one-off, with the employer's agreement) and Exceptional (imposed in specific cases, such as during a health crisis). Each form has its own rules, but is governed by the French Labor Code.
Teleworking employees must have the agreement of their employer (except in exceptional circumstances), respect their normal working hours, benefit from the right to disconnect and work under conditions equivalent to those in In-person. The employer remains responsible for their health and safety.
Yes, telecommuting is legal in France if it is voluntary and accepted by both employer and employee, formulated in writing (agreement, charter or email) and compatible with the position held. The French Labor Code governs its implementation.
Yes, Crews offers training that develops autonomy, rigor and professional tools through synchronous Online training.
