As part of the seminar:
Enjeux contemporains. Penser les crises/ Current Issues. Reflecting on Crises
organized by Maria Kokkinou (CEFRES / UK) and Jérôme Heurtaux (CEFRES):

Presentation of the seminar:

The crisis has the wind in its sails: due to the appearance and extensive spread of Covid-19 in 2020, this concept has regained a world-wide attention, last observed during the financial crisis of 2009. Apart from these spectacular moments of global turmoil, we can no longer count the events or phenomena that are described as crises.

A concept inextricably linked to modernity, a “crisis” (pre)occupies our societies in all its dimensions. The polysemic uses of the term and its very topicality prompt us to revisit this concept, its different meanings and uses. This seminar course is devoted to this task. It will involve the intervention of researchers from various disciplines – political sociology, history, art history, anthropology, philosophy, etc.

What realities are qualified as “crises” and in which ways are they critical? What is a crisis and how to explain its emergence? How does a crisis unfold, what are its effects and consequences? Why do crises give rise to conflicts of interpretation over their meaning? Is the notion of crisis a central operator of our modernity and a key to understanding the challenges that contemporary societies face?

Covid-19: Teleworking and Management

CEFRES invites you to its international roundtable on this topic:

What does the sanitary crisis tell about the changes in corporations and work organization?

Date: Thursday, March 25th, 2021, at 5.30PM
Place: Online (Zoom, see the link below)
Language: English

Organized by:

Vincent Montenero, Ph.D. in Management, Associate Researcher CEFRES / MIAS-CVUT

With a participation of these experts:

Cristina Cazorzi, Ph.D. in Management, EMEA Dispute Manager, Whirlpool
Daniel Prokop, Ph.D. in Sociology, Head of PAQ Research
Julie Landour, Ph.D. in Sociology, Associate Professor, Paris Dauphine
Jean-François Chanlat, PhD in Sociology, Emeritus Professor, Paris Dauphine

The emergence of the COVID-19 crisis has deeply affected corporations in terms of management and labour relations. After a period of adaptation, most companies have put up several measures that have enabled them to meet their customers’ expectations. According to many managers, this unprecedented situation has been an accelerator of different trends, such as a rapid and sudden teleworking increase. It has also been a challenge making several necessary improvements: be more agile, question the frequency of business trips, change management methods, improve newcomers’ integration, etc.

Many questions arise:

– What will remain of these changes in the functioning of the companies after the crisis is over?

– How do employees adapt to these evolutions?

– What does the crisis do in terms of team cohesion, psychosocial risks, division of the employed population, poor integration of newcomers?

To answer these questions, this roundtable will gather experts from France and the Czech Republic who will present and discuss original data and analysis on corporations and labour relations in the present and the future.
