After a long day glued to your computer or smartphone, do you crave a true break? You're far from alone. A study by Eléas, experts in preventing psychosocial risks, reveals that 62% of French employees expect their employers to champion the right to disconnect.
It's no surprise: more than a third of workers use professional digital tools nearly every day outside working hours. Yet only 22% believe their company takes steps to curb this. Who hasn't checked work email on vacation, fearing missed updates or backlash from bosses?
To address these stress triggers, the right to disconnect is enshrined in France's updated Labor Code. Starting January 1, employees can switch off phones and computers post-work or during holidays without hesitation—welcome relief for those struggling to unplug.
