| Summary: | The crisis generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has forced organizations on a global scale to
re-think their strategies and current activities, replacing traditional work at the employer’s
workplace with working from home. Thirty years ago, academic research hinted at the fact
that quick technological progress would facilitate working from home for white collar
workers. Recent technological developments have facilitated the quick adoption of
teleworking in most work sectors, especially in the sphere of services. Work done by
employees outside the employer’s workplace is frequently called teleworking, although
there are various alternative concepts such as “telecommuting”, “work from home”, “remote
e-working”, or “home office”. Teleworking is legislated in most states; for instance, in
Romania there is Law no. 81 from 2018, “concerning regulation of teleworking”, wherein
policymakers address work relations. |
