Benefits and impacts of telework in human talent results from a literature review
Abstract
Teleworking is a work modality that is increasing mainly because of the benefits it brings to the life of employees. It is also important to mention the benefits this type of work has in reducing pollution, time taken to travel to workplace and mobility problems in large cities. From a literature review, the objective of this paper is to present the benefits of this innovative form of work for the quality of life of workers. Some results indicate that increased productivity, creativity and innovation are achieved in organizations with increased quality of life of human talent. With regard to the strategic management of human talent in organizations as it relates to new trends of work, such as networking or telecommuting, it failed to identify the existence of established conceptual frameworks to encourage this type of work.
