2 words, 10 letters: it has become one of the most famous terms of the COVID-19 pandemic and one of its most salient facts. Overnight, millions of employees found themselves "home office" and never would this situation have occurred on such a scale without confinement.

It didn't take much for the media to catch on to this revolution in the way people think about work. Really ? On closer inspection, the crisis has above all been an accelerator of already emerging pre-crisis trends, revealing the need to design more agile, safer working environments and resolutely oriented towards the needs of their users.
