Abstract

This article first gives a brief overview of how the Pandemic affected the local labour market and employment. It then moves to focus on the issue of Telework and looks at the challenges and opportunities this brought on both employers and the employees who were working from home through ICT due to the restrictions. The final part of the article explores how Telework can continue to evolve beyond the pandemic in ways that bring benefits to all, whilst ensuring that flexibility and adaptability will not be used as a pretext for exploitation.
