Abstract: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The shift to a digital knowledge-based economy was marked in Europe by a report on the status of “eWork" development. The beginning of this new phase in Europe was ushered in with a new common policy framework: the agreements at the Lisbon Summit in March 2000, when it was agreed to make Europe "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy, capable of sustained economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion". Since then substantial progress was made towards this goal through implementation of the e-Europe Action Plan agreed to in June 2000. Part of the broader scope of eWork included the continued development of Telework, with its proven benefits of flexibility in time and place. In Malta too, awareness and interest is growing in new working practices which have mainly come about due to technological advances especially in the ICT sector. Participation in new working practices, with particular reference to Telework will only come about: 1. By evaluating the status quo in Malta and beyond our shores 2. A wide dissemination of information about the subject especially relating to Best Practice 3. Debate and consensus building amongst stakeholders and social partners 4. Successful pilot studies or case studies 5. Acceptable and Enforceable Controls The ultimate aim of this report will be to recommend national reforms which will be needed for Telework to become a feasible option for persons and organizations wishing to use it.
