Insee, in partnership with the Direction de l'animation de la recherche, des études et des statistiques (DARES) of the Ministry of Labor is conducting a major statistical survey on working conditions among people residing in France from October 1ᵉʳ to May 31, 2019.

The Working Conditions survey is the only survey on working conditions of this scope and covering all employed persons. The broad scope of the survey and the size of its sample allow detailed analyses by socio-professional category and sector of activity.

The survey is now conducted as a panel every three years, alternating between a "working conditions" focus (2013 and 2019) and a "psychosocial risks" focus (CT-RPS, the first edition of which took place in 2015-2016).

The 2018-2019 survey is being conducted on a sample of approximately 34,500 dwellings.

2013 working conditions survey: seven out of ten employees had a professional use of different digital tools

In 2013, 71.1% of employees used a digital tool for work purposes (fixed computer - including terminal or console -, laptop, email, Internet, an intranet). 57.1% of them used a fixed computer during their working day and 23.8% a laptop.

However, the use of laptops was still very uneven across socio-professional categories: 61% of executives used one, compared to 12% of administrative employees and 3% of unskilled workers. Despite this very strong increase, 30.9% of employees did not use any computer or digital equipment in their work in 2013

The link between digital uses and work intensification

She goes back to the differences in the use of these technologies from one socio-professional category to another (" in 2013, more than 90% of executives were connected compared to a little more than 10% of workers) as well as "the great heterogeneity of uses depending on whether the user is not connected, mobile, sedentary, moderate or intensive.

It points out the ambivalence of the use of digital tools: "correlated to the development of autonomy at work, a feeling of satisfaction or a relationship of trust between the company and the employee, or, on the contrary, to degraded working conditions and psychosocial risk factors".

According to DARES, "the use of digital tools for mobile work is strongly correlated with a high workload and mental workload, as well as frequent situations of work spilling over into the private sphere. These demanding working conditions are nevertheless counterbalanced by greater autonomy and rewarded by a strong sense of professional recognition.

Working Conditions Survey 2016: Computerized control or monitoring dictates the pace of work for 35% of employees.

In an analysis note on theevolution of working conditions and psychosocial risks in 2016, the DARES points out the decline in the degree of autonomy of French employees in recent decades, whose missions are increasingly supervised and controlled.

For example, fewer and fewer French employees, across all socio-professional categories, are able to "choose for themselves how to achieve their objectives". Work is becoming more repetitive, according to the survey, while employee surveillance is increasing.

For example, in 2016, 35% of employees say they have a work rhythm imposed by computerized control or monitoring (10% more than in 2005).

The proportion of employees whose work rhythm is imposed by computerized control or monitoring reaches 43.7% in administrative employees and 41% in intermediate professions.
