Teleworking is a synonym of vacation: This is one of the most widespread myths. Some people think that working from home means working without supervision or responsibility, when in reality teleworking often requires the same work hours as those in the office as well as a high level of self-discipline to remain productive.
Working from home is less professional: Many think that teleworking harms the professional image. However, with the technological progresses of recent years, it is quite possible to maintain high standards of work and perform tasks efficiently. Efficiency, reliability and punctuality are all criteria that are associated with professionalism and are easy to adopt when working from home.
Teleworking leads to a decrease in collaboration: Companies have now adapted their practices to promote remote collaboration by using several online tools such as videoconferencing rooms and idea sharing platforms. Some of these tools are specifically designed to increase the level of collaboration due to the quick and easy sharing of information.
