Applying models of telework and flexible work arrangements on the islands and peripheral coastal areas of Estonia
The general (long-term) objective of the project is to increase employment opportunities on the islands and peripheral coastal areas, which will also contribute to changing employment structure in the given region.
The immediate objective is to design models of telework and flexible work arrangements and put them into practice as a pilot project, based on international experience.
The large-scale implementation of telework and flexible work models would result in the following:
- Reduced administrative costs for institutions/organisations;
