According to the official website of the French Ministry of Labor, more than 61% of French people aspire to telework. Even beyond the epidemic risk of COVID 19, working from home remains an interesting option for many employees and companies. However, the success of working from home for a company requires means and an adequate strategy at both manager and employee level.
Define a collective telework strategy
The challenge of teleworking for the company is to achieve the objectives. The strategy must be participative and include the responsibilities of both the manager and the employees. The manager should :
- Ensure the availability of the necessary equipment to work remotely;
- Ensure that the entire team is in line with the strategy and objectives;
- Agree on the main and emergency communication channels;
- Consider the need for social contact and plan virtual meetings.
A major challenge for employees will be to avoid confusion between work and family life. This will require:
- Have the right equipment to work remotely;
- Understand the work strategy and its periodic objectives;
- Define specific time slots per task and a dedicated space;
- Keep the routine and especially the usual work mentality;
- Plan regular breaks, movement and physical exercise.

Provide a good Internet connection
Slow connection is a big obstacle in the path of many telecommuters. It’s quite frustrating to only hear every other word from your colleagues in a video conference or to have to wait a long time for every important result share or file download. You must reason the type of your connection and the choice of your internet offers according to the needs of your home office.
ADSL: subscription and tariff
ADSL is the technology most shared by all internet providers. But as it is indicated on this page, the offers of the operators are varied according to the prices, the quantity of data, but also other services such as television and telephony. You can subscribe online through sites such as boutique-box-internet which offer you all the visibility on the ADSL rate at Sosh, SFR, Bouygues or other providers.
Use the comparators of ADSL tariffs Orange, Free
Always take the time to compare the price of ADSL offers thanks to online platforms like boutique-box-internet, where advisors are ready to answer your questions in a few minutes. Indeed, the ADSL technology is gradually regressing in front of the performances of the optical fiber. But other parameters such as network coverage must be taken into account in your choice of offer, regardless of the operator (Free, Orange, SFR, etc.). This coverage factor allows for example the Orange ADSL tariff to remain competitive on the market. However, if ADSL does not work for you and you do not yet have fiber optic eligibility, then opt for a 4G box.
