Telework and the right to disconnect

This study, in which IR Share took part and which was developed by Visionary Analytics and Notus, was commissioned by the European Commission for the purposes of: analysing the trends, challenges and opportunities associated with telework and the right to disconnect; presenting an overview and an analysis of the “acquis communautaire”, national legislations and agreements reached with social partners; identifying likely scenarios for the evolution of telework; and putting forward future policymaking recommendations. This is a very comprehensive and useful document, in a context in which the Commission is supposed to be launching a first-stage consultation of European social partners on an EU initiative aimed at introducing oversight of telework and the right to disconnect.
