The Institute of Labor Studies, the policy research and advocacy arm of the Department of Labor and Employment, is undertaking a research project entitled, ‘Exploring Telecommuting as the New Normal Work Arrangement: A Rapid Assessment of Telecommuting Practices Prior and During the COVID-19 Pandemic’. The study intends to analyze and document the trends and company practices of telecommuting in the Philippines before and during the pandemic.

 

In line with this, an online survey is being conducted among enterprises who have adopted telecommuting practices and other flexible work arrangements.

 

The survey runs until 15 September 2020 and is accessible through this link:
