Managements idea
Managements idea of open space is one of removing walls, adding a few meeting spaces and depersonalizing
the work desk. The management announced that it will follow what Steelcase, a company specializing in furniture
and layout of work spaces, recommends. However at Steelcase we find:
- much more collaborative spaces, well removed from the work desks;
- a large number of empty offices where one can sit and concentrate in a quiet environment (no concept of this
type in Bel Air);
- cubicles for phone calls;
- a spacious rest area away from workspaces (to avoid noise)

After moving 1 350 employees to Bel Air in open spaces, without any consultation with the employees,
Management wants to do the same on all Sophia sites. The CGT has already made proposals to the Management
to improve working conditions in Navigator and Bel Air:
- Consult the CHSCT upfront on office reorganisation projects, so that the opinions of employees are taken
into account before they are implemented (as for the establishment of a 4G antenna near the offices).
- Adjust the space according to the number of employees.
- Carry out a detailed investigation of what works or not for the office layout in these buildings, to meet the
challenges and demands, especially regarding:
- noise and lack of privacy (better compartmentalization seems necessary);
- the inadequacy of collaborative spaces (they should be sufficient in number, properly equipped, and
must not be in the middle of the open spaces);
- visual discomfort.
The CHSCT has requested the expertise of an outside firm on the project at Main A, but management wants
to complete this project as quickly as possible: a first wave of movements has already taken place, increasing
the density of people in building A, and a work schedule has already been communicated. The CHSCT has asked
management for access to Mistral for communicating the results of the expertise to you (the management response
is pending). In addition, the CHSCT has proposed a questionnaire to consult employees, but management prefers
to do its own questionnaire to validate its concept.
Allergy alert at Bel Air The work doctor reported an increase in allergies on the site at Bel Air, probably due
to the presence of formaldehyde in the office (which is why the CGT asked for windows that can be opened). If you
are concerned, make it known to the doctor.
