SMART WORKING

In contemporary society, work represents not only the main means of subsistence for human life, but also the element capable of guaranteeing security, responding to the needs of belonging and self-fulfillment and defining the relationship between oneself and the others in a wider context.

The world of work, however, in recent decades has undergone a very rapid transformative process and it has been influenced, on a global level, by a wide range of factors, with specific consequences in different territorial areas. While on the one hand, globalization has made production, exchanges and transactions faster, more flexible and efficient, on the other hand, the persistence of pre-existing critical issues and the presence of new challenges are now more evident.

Recent global events prompted a new way to view normality, it’s called the “New Normal”. The digital approach completely changed too, and it’s up to us to adapt, coexist every day, and create conditions for organic, systemic development in our society. The pandemic amplified the urgency to contemplate a topical issue: Digital Inclusion. That is, all activities aimed at ensuring that individuals and communities can equally access and benefit from opportunities related to computer systems and telecommunications.  And so, we ask: “Are we becoming e-Quals?”.
