The office ticket is a recent innovation in the field of work, which has not yet entered the dictionary. It works similarly to restaurant tickets and offers employees a flexible and efficient way to access workspaces, whether in a traditional office, coworking space, or even in remote work. This approach is based on the idea that employees can choose where they want to work, using tickets as access passes to different workplaces.
The use of the office ticket allows the employee to benefit from increased flexibility. The employee can select the offices that best suit their needs, whether near their home, close to clients or in a flex office coworking space with many services (kitchen, entertainment, etc.). This flexibility has become all the more valuable with the rise of remote work and the need to adapt to various working methods.
As with restaurant vouchers, office tickets can take different forms, whether it's a physical card to be recharged, a paper cheque or an online solution. Tickets can be sold individually or by opting for monthly subscriptions, depending on their needs and working habits.
Payment for these office tickets could be made in the same way as for restaurant vouchers: the employer paying all or part of the cost.
In France, the office ticket is not officially in service. However, the bill on remote work adopted by the Senate in Paris in 2021 provides for specific provisions regarding workspaces. It stipulates that employers must offer their employees a solution for access to workspaces near their homes.
In 2022, another bill was tabled in the Senate, this time focusing on the office ticket, and then arrived at the National Assembly. The office cheque could then be defined in new articles of the Labour Code.
The office ticket offers advantages for both companies and employees. It allows companies to reduce costs associated with fixed offices while offering their employees the possibility of working in environments adapted to their needs. Employees thus have the choice of renting third-party locations that they find inspiring and productive. It is also a way to better reconcile professional and personal life.
In addition to being advantageous for companies, the office ticket would help medium-sized cities revitalise their territory to attract new residents. For example, some of these cities could create coworking spaces near train stations and display advertising campaigns to make them known.
There is also an ecological benefit, as employees would travel less by car.
The office ticket has become an additional option in the French work landscape. Functioning like restaurant vouchers, in the form of cards, they offer the freedom and flexibility necessary for employees to work in places outside the company, to always adapt to new ways of working. This innovative approach contributes to shaping the future of work by offering practical solutions adapted to the changing needs of companies and their employees.
