HR Challenge No. 1 

"Manager à distance: Redonner aux salariés le sens du collectif au travail" (Remote management: Giving employees a sense of community at work)

With the significant increase in teleworking in France and short-time working, many employees are finding a lack of meaning in their work. Physically isolated, with different work rhythms and digital skills, collaboration and therefore performance have taken a big hit in 2020.

We've learned that managing a remote team adds an extra layer of complexity to the manager's role. It is thereforeessential to master the keys to effective remote management, in order to federate the dispersed team and recreate proximity around a common project.

Managing oneself, one's colleagues and relationships from a distance, knowing and effectively using digital collaboration tools, developing emotional and social intelligence from a distance and mastering the coach's posture are key skills for restoring meaning to the collective.

HR Challenge #2 

"Collaborating remotely: Capitalizing on 2020 experiences and creating new, motivating collaboration routines that work"

In a dispersed team, new questions arise in terms of organization, communication and collaboration. The way we work is constantly evolving, and this can lead to frustration and demotivation among team members. After a phase of forced experimentation in 2020, it's important to take regular stock with the team to install new, motivating routines that work. This also includes human skills, which need to evolve with it.

Especially when teleworking, age and generationalprejudices and stereotypeshinder relationalflowand block the optimalflow ofinformation within your company, with several consequences: the risk of non-quality decisions, lack of creativity and innovation, frustration, demotivation and even absenteeism linked to ill-being or illness among your employees. The result is enormous untapped potential for your company.

Already in the spotlight before the pandemic, Quality of Working Life (QWL) has become a strategic focus in 2021.

HR Challenge N°5 

"Transitioning to (pre)retirement: Ensuring a smooth transition

With the current pandemic, employees' comfort zones have disappeared!Suddenly finding oneself on short-time working, telecommuting or being made redundant creates a pressure that generally provokes deep personal reflection... Some, often the 50-plus employees, find themselves insearch of meaningand no longer identify with their activity, and dream of early retirement to realize themselves in a different way. 

But even for those who dream of it, leaving is not without its share of stress. It's the start of a new life, which needs to be well prepared.
