Work at home or live at work
The complexities of new working arrangements
Canada | 2021
The Survey on Employment and Skills, conducted by the , seeks to gain better insight into how Canadians of all backgrounds have been affected by, and are coping with, the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
The results of this wave of the survey is presented in a series of reports, beginning with this one, Work at home or live at work: The complexities of new working arrangements, which focuses on the experience of working from home. This report examine who has been able to work from home during the pandemic, and workers who has have had to continue to work at their regular workplace.
It explores both the positive and negative experiences with working from home, and how these vary among different types of employees. The report���s findings provide an important reminder that the ability to stay home during the pandemic is closely tied to one���s socio-economic situation. They also suggest that the eventual reopening of the economy once the spread of the virus has been contained is unlikely to mean that everything will go back to the way it once was. Employees, particularly those with children at home, may continue to express a desire for working arrangements that are more flexible and family-friendly than those that they experienced before the pandemic took hold.
Entre bureau et domicile
Les complexit辿s de la nouvelle organisation du travail
Le Sondage sur l'emploi et les comp辿tences a cherch辿 �� mieux comprendre comment les Canadiens et les Canadiennes de tous les milieux ont 辿t辿 touch辿s par les perturbations caus辿es par la pand辿mie et comment ils y font face.
Les r辿sultats de cette phase de l'enqu棚te seront pr辿sent辿s dans une s辿rie de rapports, en commen巽ant par celui-ci, qui porte sur l'exp辿rience du travail �� domicile. Ce rapport examinera les personnes qui ont pu travailler �� domicile pendant la pand辿mie et celles qui ont d短 continuer �� travailler sur leur lieu de travail habituel. Il explorera 辿galement les exp辿riences positives et n辿gatives du travail �� domicile, et comment elles varient selon les diff辿rents types d'employ辿s.
Les conclusions du rapport constituent un rappel important que la capacit辿 de rester �� la maison pendant la pand辿mie est 辿troitement li辿e �� la situation socio-辿conomique de la personne. Ils sugg竪rent 辿galement que la r辿ouverture 辿ventuelle de l'辿conomie apr竪s l'endiguement de la propagation du virus ne signifie probablement pas que la vie redeviendra compl竪tement comme avant. Les employ辿s, notamment ceux qui ont des enfants �� la maison, peuvent continuer �� exprimer le d辿sir d'obtenir des modalit辿s de travail plus souples et plus adapt辿es �� la vie de famille que celles qu'ils connaissaient avant la pand辿mie.
