A supportive minister

A minister relaxed and smiling that recalls his roadmap “very busy” he says in the coming months.

Motivated but worried agents

Faced with these encouragementthe agents of the Loiret CAF evoke their not always simple daily life with an ill-adapted computer tool which could have created stress without forgetting recruitment difficulties and the absence of any prospect of salary development.
