Groupe Renault complies with the legal obligations and collective agreements in terms of working hours of the countries where it has operations. To preserve jobs and adapt to fluctuations in automotive markets, Renault has instituted a system of flexible work time. It aims to find the best possible balance between the Company’s interests and quality of life in the workplace for the employees in question, through consultations with employee representatives and labor unions. The measures focus in particular on the conditions for reorganizing work time, such as by adding mandatory shifts to meet heavy demand or reducing work time when demand falls, notably by using individual or collective rest days. At sites in France, for example, the average working week is 35 hours. In plants, the principle is two alternating eight-hour shifts with, in the event of spiking demand, the possibility to add a fixed night shift team. Groupe Renault is also introducing an alternative, flexible work time organization, allowing a better personal work/life balance for its employees with, for example, telework in countries where this is possible. The global framework agreement signed in 2019 strengthened this aim. In France, telework has been part of our agreements for 13 years. The last agreement, signed on February 7, 2019, will make it easier and simpler to access telework by responding to changes in working modes and new employee expectations. In particular, it facilitates access for eligible employees to two days of telework each week, after registration in the new dedicated workflow, with the option to have regular sessions or use them in a variable manner. The emergence of the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdown measures imposed on the entire French population on March 16, 2020 resulted in full telework for all employees whose work could be performed remotely. To protect the health of its employees, the company maintained this work organization until the start of the new school year in September 2020. This was followed by a period where telework was set at a minimum of three days per week, with the requirement to have only 60% of usual workers present on the Île-de-France sites in order to guarantee everyone’s health safety. The second period of lockdown starting on October 30, 2020 reactivated the switch to full telework until the end of 2020. As early as mid-2020, the company sought to draw lessons from this unprecedented period. Through surveys and working groups, the company noted the enthusiasm of its employees for the perpetuation of hybrid working methods, combining on-site and telework. Thus, it is planned to begin discussions with the social partners in early 2021 to initiate thinking on a new organization of work incorporating the new expectations expressed by employees.
