Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper is designed to address the Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) issues facing home-based clerical workers who telecommute to a central office. Employment practices are rapidly changing, such that for some employees working at home is becoming increasingly an option . This is due to several factors changes in the economic, legal and social climate of society but perhaps most importantly, due to the advances in technology. It is the author's concern that the practice may be outstripping the considerations of OH&S, especially relating to the employer's duty of care. Reference will be made of what has been put forward by the Federal Department of Industrial Relations in its Australian Public Service Home Based Work Interim Award 1994 as a standard, which is included in the Homebased Teleworking Information Kit as an appendix. Finally, conclusions will be made and recommendations for improvements put forward. " -- Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) is implementing a multiannual research activity focusing on work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which started in 2018 and will conclude at the end of 2021. This activity contributes to the European Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2020-22 on MSDs, 'Healthy Workplaces Lighten the Load', which is coordinated across the EU Member States by EU-OSHA, and will also contribute to the Healthy Workplaces Campaign 2023-2025 on Digitalisation and occupational safety and health (OSH). The activity and the campaign take a holistic approach to the management of MSDs in the workplace, covering prevention and also rehabilitation and return to work. The relationship between telework and MSDs is highly relevant due to the extension of telework as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and existing evidence on the impact of telework on MSDs in connection with psychosocial risk factors. For this reason, EU-OSHA has launched this study, which focuses on remote work enabled by information and communications technology (ICT) tools ('telework') and its association with psychosocial risk factors and the occurrence of MSDs. It is a qualitative study involving desk and field research to investigate in greater depth and collect evidence on the implications of telework for workers. The study focuses particularly on the OSH aspects of telework (namely psychosocial risk factors and MSDs, and the association between them) to identify policy areas for which recommendations will be formulated. The main research questions addressed by the study are:  What is the current state of knowledge about the impact of telework on the incidence of psychosocial risks and MSDs? What are the main factors modulating these impacts and have these been affected by the practice of extended telework during the COVID-19 pandemic?  How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed telework patterns and the composition of the teleworking population? To what extent are these changes temporary or permanent? What are the differences in the experience of telework among different groups of workers? - What are the new regulatory and policy developments related to the practice of telework (e.g. right to disconnect, monitoring and surveillance)? How do they impact on working conditions and, in particular, on OSH? The study suggests that the experience of extended telework during the pandemic may accelerate pre-existing trends towards increased flexibility of work arrangements enabled by the use of ICT. Telework is likely to become more significant for companies and employees, reaching new groups of workers who had very limited experience of this work arrangement before the outbreak of the pandemic.

Book excerpt: This article sets out the main issues relating to the definition of telework, before looking at the main drivers of telework and examining its incidence around the EU. It then gives an overview of health and safety issues in the workplace, before examining those that are specifically related to teleworking. It also looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected health and safety for teleworkers. The article then examines the different types and levels of regulation that are relevant for telework. There is also a specific focus on regulation around the right to disconnect. It then looks at some examples of agreements regulating occupational safety and health (OSH) and telework in companies around the EU. Finally, it sets out a number of conclusions in relation to what works in promoting and protecting OSH for teleworkers, the principal remaining challenges and the post-pandemic future.

This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 1435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts from across all industrial-organizational (IO) psychology describe how increasingly rapid technological change has affected the field. In each chapter, authors describe how this has altered the meaning of IO research within a particular subdomain and what steps must be taken to avoid IO research from becoming obsolete. This Handbook presents a forward-looking review of IO psychology's understanding of both workplace technology and how technology is used in IO research methods. Using interdisciplinary perspectives to further this understanding and serving as a focal text from which this research will grow, it tackles three main questions facing the field. First, how has technology affected IO psychological theory and practice to date? Second, given the current trends in both research and practice, could IO psychological theories be rendered obsolete? Third, what are the highest priorities for both research and practice to ensure IO psychology remains appropriately engaged with technology moving forward?

Download or read book Teleworking written by Ursula Huws and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because teleworking presents major new challenges to human resource managers, trade unions, and others involved in the development of good employment practices, this book provides practical guidelines for good practice in regard to teleworkers that recognize that teleworking is not a single category, but covers at least five distinct groups with different needs. The guide is based on a study conducted in four European countries--United Kingdom, Greece, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Following an introductory chapter that discusses new forms of work and the study, the following work groups are defined and discussed in the next five chapters of the book: multisite teleworking, tele-homeworking, freelance teleworking, mobile teleworking, and relocated back-offices. The final chapter covers forms of support for teleworkers. The guidelines are based on existing good practice in each area, as described in each chapter. The book encourages employers to regard teleworkers as a variation of existing employees, not a separate category, and to provide the same benefits and working conditions previously negotiated with traditional workers.
