TELEWORK Meaning and
Definition
-
Telework, also known as telecommuting or remote work, is a modern work arrangement where individuals carry out their job responsibilities remotely, usually from their home or another location outside their organization's physical premises. With the help of advanced technologies such as computers, internet connectivity, and telecommunication devices, telework allows employees to perform their tasks and stay connected with their colleagues and employers without the need for daily attendance in the office.
This flexible work arrangement helps employees strike a better work-life balance by eliminating or reducing their daily commute, allowing them to allocate more time to personal commitments. It also provides opportunities for individuals living in remote areas or facing mobility challenges to access employment and contribute to organizations that they may not have been able to participate in otherwise. Additionally, telework supports environmental conservation efforts by reducing traffic congestion, energy consumption, and overall emissions associated with commuting.
Teleworkers often engage in virtual meetings, communicate through email, video calls, or chat platforms, and utilize project management tools to collaborate with colleagues. While telework can increase autonomy, productivity, and engagement for employees, it requires self-discipline, effective time management, and effective communication skills to ensure smooth coordination and avoid feelings of isolation.
Overall, telework has become an increasingly popular work arrangement, particularly in fields that can be performed remotely, such as information technology, customer service, writing, and consulting.
Common Misspellings for TELEWORK
Etymology of TELEWORK
The word "telework" is a combination of two terms: "tele-" and "work".
1. "Tele-" comes from the Greek word "tēle" (τηλε), meaning "far off" or "distant". It was originally used in words related to distance, communication, or transportation, such as "telephone" (sound from a distance).
2. "Work" has its roots in Old English, Germanic, and Indo-European languages. Its original meaning is related to exertion, effort, or activity.
The term "telework" emerged in the 1970s as a way to describe a work arrangement that allows individuals to perform their job remotely or from a distance, using modern telecommunication technologies. It combines the idea of working remotely with the concept of being connected across distances through technology.
