Objective
The project aims to develop a better understanding of the relationship between teleworking and sustainable development.
The specific objectives are to:
- Identify the ways in which teleworking supports or prevents the emergence of socially more acceptable ways of working and social inclusion, and the variables which can be influenced in order to ensure positive outcomes;
- Assess the persistence of economic, social and ecological benefits of teleworking over time, and identify variables which influence the extent of these benefits;
- Assess the ways in which next generation technologies are changing the nature and outcomes of teleworking, and identify and design deployment variables which can influence these.
The work will include surveys of teleworkers as well as six organisational case studies in each of the partner countries. It will also include the development of a sustainability assessment tool to help organisations better understand and manage the sustainability of their teleworking schemes.
