Travailleur capable d'adapter son jugement et ses connaissances à des tâches de nature différente. 2, record 1, French, - travailleur%20polyvalent
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Polyvalent s'applique bien aux personnes accomplissant des tâches qui exigent du jugement et des connaissances et expériences multiples. D'autre part, «polyvalent» permet d'éviter des termes plus précis, mais qui véhiculent des jugements de valeur : intellectuel, instruit, cérébral, etc., qui sont flatteurs pour les uns, mais dévalorisants pour les autres, donc dangereux. 3, record 1, French, - travailleur%20polyvalent
