Work away from the office: teleworking

Teleworking means working away from your usual office for part of the time. The teleworking location is usually a home office, but it could also be a telecentre, an alternative work location, close to homes, from which staff can telework on a regular, occasional or ad-hoc basis, but not on a full–time basis.

By teleworking, employees can reduce their commuting time and manage their work outputs more effectively. Trials indicate benefits that include increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, reduced time and costs in service delivery and increased employee motivation and morale.
