New analysis from the ILO and WHO sets out recommendations for safe and productive hybrid and teleworking.

For many responsible for managing teleworkers the images in this article will give them nightmares!

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have called for measures to be put in place to protect workers’ health while teleworking and produced what they call a technical brief for teleworkers.

Covering:-

• Health impact of teleworking
• Protecting and promoting health, safety and well-being while teleworking
• Roles and responsibilities of employers, workers and governments
• Roles of occupational health services

the briefing covers in detail the changes needed to accommodate the shift towards different forms of remote work arrangements brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic  and the digital transformation of work.
