TELEWORK AND TELEEMPLOYEE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. A PERSPECTIVE ON THE POST-PANDEMIC PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: Our paper provides a concise overview of several observations regarding telework and teleworkers in the public sector, based on the premise that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on public organizations worldwide, forcing them to face unprecedented challenges. The public sector, responsible for a wide range of essential services, was confronted with the need to rapidly adapt its structures and procedures to ensure continuity of operations, while also complying with social distancing and other imposed restrictions. To this end, we used a relevant and recent bibliography, as well as certain regulatory documents. In terms of structure, the paper includes the following sections: (1) Considerations on the Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Public Sector; (2) Telework and the Regulation of Certain Rights and Obligations of Teleworkers in Romania; (3) Continuous Digitalization and Its Impact on Necessary Skills; (4) Redefining Communication and Collaboration within Organizations. The final section (5) presents our Conclusions.
