“It’s the supply that’s lacking, not the job seekers. We don’t need subsidies but hours of work.” This is the message addressed to sub-prefect Christian Guyard, who came to visit the premises of the Partage Travail associationFriday December 13 at Compiègne.
Director Vincent Cacheur and President François Frénois showed him the Work Sharing agency, which had been installed for two years on Cours Guynemer. “It’s important for us to be visible and have a presence like temporary agencies,” explains the director.
Founded in 1986, Partage travail is part of the solidarity economy. “We employ 286 people per year for 50,000 hours of work,” explains the director. The association’s specialty is providing job seekers to individuals (40%), communities (30%) and businesses (30%).
“Temporary employment with social support”
“It’s like temporary work except that we offer social support,” continues President Frénois. If our candidates are long-term unemployed, it is because of social obstacles: housing, health, mobility, driving license, skills, distance from employment, etc. We serve as an interface with the employer, in a cycle of social support, for a maximum of two years.” A cycle that is both long and short.
Each mission is subject to a debriefing, in order to gradually bring the candidate towards autonomy. “We are starting from afar, with certain candidates,” continues the director. A few hours a week are enough to get back on track. If the employer notifies us of a delay, we have a friendly discussion to understand. Some simply don’t have an alarm clock or have had a locomotion problem… We start with the individual, because they have fewer requirements. These are cleaning hours, help with work…”
There are 14 equivalent structures in Oise. Which represents 450 time equivalents, or 2300 people involved. “If we disappeared from the landscape, it would be catastrophic,” considers Vincent Cacheur.
“Less money, less work”
Even more so in this period of crisis, where many professional sectors are experiencing recruitment difficulties. The hotel industry, for example, is a tense sector. “Certain people who ask to work are not in the recruitment criteria,” notes the director. It is our primary mission to create bridges.”
“With the crisis, there is less money, service to individuals is in decline,” says Vincent Cacheur. The same goes for declining community budgets due to decreasing state allocations. It increases social poverty. For a company, if the contract is not signed, it does not commit. This causes people to return to the streets. This person we supported can collapse again….”
“With the crisis, we are weakening an essential link in employment,” considers treasurer Xavier Bombard.
A 16% drop in activity causes the absence of work for 60 people
Six to seven people out of ten find lasting employment at Partage travail. “We fell by 16% in loss of activity, which represents 8,000 hours. Or five full-time equivalents (based on 1607 hours per year). “And if we decline, that represents fifty to sixty people who do not have a job,” calculates the director. Partage travail is present in 70 municipalities (Agglo de Compiègne, Deux Vallées, Lisières de l’Oise, Pays des Sources, Plain of Estrées). “We could easily offer 100,000 hours of work,” estimates President Frénois.
As an example, the director cites the village of Saint-Sauveur, which provides more working hours than the town of Compiègne. Still to illustrate, the distribution of garbage bags from the Agglo allows 8 people for a month. “We are not unfair competition,” insists the director. We are the cheapest integration tool. Work sharing works with only 5% subsidies.”
The leaders of Partage travail made this observation to the sub-prefect who, in his mission, runs the local public employment service, particularly contracts with social clauses. Companies must in fact devote 6 to 7% to social employment (job search). The future Seine Nord canal project will offer 3 million hours of integration clause. In Compiégnois, the Anru rehabilitation program represents 10,000 hours of integration clause.
