Compréhension :

L’article étudié qui est paru le 22 octobre 2014, provient du journal The Guardian, un journal Britannique. Il expose le fait que la technologie peut être au service de la qualité de l’environnement de travail.

L’article contient des idées essentielles qui seront énuméré par ordres chronologique :

Il est prouvé qu’une audience est plus apte à écouter lorsqu’elle est confortablement installée.

Au sein d’une entreprise, un employé effectuant son travail dans un environnement confortable est en général plus heureux, plus productifs et en meilleur santé.

Les locaux qui sont moderne dispose d’équipement ayant des réglages personnalisés concernant la lumière, la chaleur, la climatisation…

Des limites sont par contre exposées par les écologistes qui eux préfèrent la décentralisation afin d’éviter la surconsommation d’énergie.

La nouvelle technologie telle que le thermostat intelligent pourrait être une solution à ce dilemme, en effet elle permettrait de réguler la température automatiquement en fonction de nos habitudes et de nos besoins.

Les appareils serait connecté les uns aux autres et n’aurait pas besoin de l’intervention humaine, pour illustrez nous pouvons imaginer une application qui réglerait la température en fonction de notre température corporelle.

Pour conclure, des solutions vraisemblables sont faisable mais pas encore pour le grand public. De plus une question se pose : qui devra s’occuper de la gestion de cette technologie ? Le propriétaire ? les employés ? ou cette technologie en autonomie ?

This survey highlights the opinion of employees on different fields. it also gives us some information’s about how employees react to all the initiatives the company had taken. There are four points: “healthier lifestyles”, “better productivity”,” lower health care costs” and the last one “less absenteeism”. A happy workplace is based on these four points. As far as employees are concerned, a major part of them agreed with the fact that having a “healthier lifestyle” is a real benefit. 95% of them agreed. On the contrary employees have mixed feelings about “less absenteeism” because only 78% of them agreed with this point. After that, according to me, these four points are illustrated by plants for a real reason. We can figure out that more the employees agreed with a point and higher is the plant. It leads us to draw parallel between how the employees feel and the living conditions of the plants. If employees work in better conditions, their productivity will also be better. I would like to conclude by saying that the work employees provide depends on how they feel in their company. Not only working in good conditions is an advantage for employees but it is also a benefit for the company.

Employees comfort and energy efficiency are two points that make a nice place to work. Both of these aspects are playing an important role. As far as I’m concerned, I have mixed feelings about the question: which one is the most important? On the one hand I’m convinced that employees’ comfort can’t be neglect. For instance, during summer, an employee can’t work without air conditioner. Even though it will consume electricity or energy, the employee will be able to be efficient. On the contrary, if the company don’t want to waste too much money in energy. They won’t offer good conditions to the employees. Not only will they be upset, so their work won’t be as efficient as possible, but they will also be less motivated to provide a good work for a company that doesn’t care about their work conditions. According to me employees’ comfort is essential. The money the company won’t spend in energy will be used to fill the inefficiency of workers. On the other hand, energy efficiency is a real issue for the environment. Even though employees’ comfort is important, wellbeing of our planet is also important. It leads us to say that they should find a balance between energy consumption and employees’ comfort.
