Remote work, or work from home, has become a standard in many companies. While lauded for its flexibility, it nonetheless requires strong organization, specific skills, and a clear professional framework. Here's everything you need to know to prepare effectively.
At Crews, courses are conducted entirely online and live, at a rate of 1 week of classes per month, a pace designed to foster autonomy, personal balance, and flexibility.
According to INSEE, nearly 40% of French employees worked remotely at least partially in 2023. In digital sectors, this figure exceeds 70%. The widespread adoption of remote work is prompting companies to re-evaluate their organization and employees to enhance their autonomy.
The professions best suited for remote work are digital marketing, design, no-code development, communication, and project management — all skills taught at Crews.
Remote work demands a strong ability to self-organize without direct supervision. One must be adept at planning tasks, meeting deadlines, and maintaining clear communication with their team. Diligence is essential. One of the challenges of remote work is the capacity for self-organization. In synchronous Online learning, Crews students learn to manage their schedules, communicate clearly via video conferencing, and meet deadlines, exactly as they would in a remote professional environment.
From CRM to Trello, from Slack to Notion, digital tools are the foundation of remote work. Training programs such as Community Manager or Social Ads incorporate 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 students in synchronous Online learning to provide this flexibility from the outset of their education, and also to enable them to acquire remote work skills and discipline from home. We also organize seminars throughout the academic programs to allow cohorts to meet and build connections.
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 remote work. Among them:
All these professions can be prepared through Crews' professional training programs, which are eligible for funding and designed for independent learning.
Work from home is more than a trend; it's a new standard in many digital professions. It offers significant opportunities for those who are well-trained, organized, and motivated. At Crews, we support individuals who want to work differently, from anywhere.
The three types of remote work are: Regular (stipulated by contract or addendum, often weekly), Occasional (ad hoc, with employer's agreement), and Exceptional (imposed in specific cases such as during a health crisis). Each form has its own rules but falls under the Labor Code.
Teleworking employees must have their employer's consent (with exceptions), adhere to their usual working hours, benefit from the right to disconnect, and work under conditions equivalent to those in-person. The employer remains responsible for their health and safety.
Yes, teleworking is legal in France if it is voluntary and accepted by both employer and employee, formalized in writing (agreement, charter, or email), and compatible with the position held. The Labor Code regulates its implementation.
