In the search of benefits of telework, it was found that along with those benefits, the risks, challenges, and disadvantages that the workers and employers are exposed to are presented when assuming telework, and that these cannot be separated since benefits and disadvantages tend to go hand in hand. Similarly, it cannot just be discussed about the benefits of employees, because employers play a large role in the benefits, disadvantages, and general application of the teleworking program. A telework program, developed and applied correctly, has the potential to become a trend in the world of labor, contemplated as a valid form of work that results in benefits and opportunities for all its participants.
