Paper Abstract:
|
This paper aims to present a brief case study to show the viability of implementing telework on a Federal University in Brazil. As the use of this kind of work arrangement is noteworthy through developed countries and also in some newly industrialized countries, telecommuting still faces cultural and technological barriers. However, what might be a strategy to spare budget in the past may now prove to be one of the ways to respond against current environmental issues, as well as improve workers motivation, thus benefiting the company and its stakeholders. Therefore, this work intends to analyze some of the needs for the telework, and how to implement it in a governmental corporation. |
