“…Based on representative research conducted in the USA by Salon et al (2022), 40-50% of employees expect to telework at least a few times a month after the pandemic, compared to 24% before the pandemic. 90-95% of those who worked remotely for the first time during the pandemic plan to work this way regularly if they have the opportunity.…”

Work experience is becoming an increasingly important part of human capital, so in this lifelong learning, organisations must encourage employees to perform better by providing career opportunities and multidimensional mobility. The shock effect caused by the pandemic and the changed circumstances had a noticeable impact on the organisations, which reacted to the changed environment sometimes with resistance and sometimes with adaptation (for example, collective learning and flexibility), the result of which were the various productive and innovative responses of the organisation to the changes (Spicer, 2020). As a result of the epidemic, millions of employees switched from one day to remote work, which has become a globally recognised form of work and the subject of research. Such a dynamic change in the digital transition has significantly impacted the workplace environment and learning and has changed attitudes about work, employment and workplace learning.

Se realizó una investigación en trabajadores , con el objetivo de analizar la influencia los síntomas musculoesqueléticos sobre los componentes de la calidad de vida (CV) de los trabajadores de la provincia del Carchi en tiempo de pandemia. Este estudio fue de diseño no experimental y de corte transversal, de tipo cuantitativo y descriptivo. Se contó con 799 trabajadores, pertenecientes a entidades públicas y privadas, quienes aceptaron la participación en el estudio mediante la firma de un consentimiento informado, mismos que procedieron a llenar los cuestionarios en forma presencial y on-line. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Cuestionario Nórdico Estandarizado de Síntomas Musculoesqueléticos de Kuorinka, así como también el cuestionario de calidad de vida (SF-36). En los resultados obtenidos se pudo evidenciar que los trastornos musculoesqueléticos más afectados en los teletrabajadores fueron: cuello (18,30%) y columna dorsolumbar (13,60%) y la dimensión de la calidad de vida más afectada fue el dolor corporal (58,9). La CV y los síntomas musculoesquléticos se correlacionan (p<0,05) negativamente leve. Es decir que las variables presentan un comportamiento inverso, mientras la sintomatología musculoesquelética disminuye, las dimensiones de calidad de vida aumentan.

The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of perceived decreases in three physical activity (PA) behaviors and meeting the PA guideline, by changes in telework. Methods: US workers (N = 2393) reported teleworking and PA behaviors before and after COVID-19 emergence. Those reporting more and less telework were compared with those reporting stable telework on prevalence of (1) decreasing behaviors and (2) meeting the aerobic guideline (≥150 min/wk of moderate-intensity PA). Results: Compared with workers with stable telework, those with increased telework were more likely to report decreases in any PA (by 61%), active transportation (65%), and park use (52%). Workers who deceased telework were also more likely to report decreases in these behaviors. Groups were equally likely to meet the guideline. Conclusions: Changes in teleworking status-either more or less-may be associated with decreased participation in PA behaviors.
