1996 - European Telework Week

Telework 96
2.1.3. Observations
GENERAL
Directly involved in the Telework Stimulation Actions (TSAs) were 176 partners and
subcontractors and 110 sponsors/associates involving 100 organisations and 148 sites in
50 countries in pilot telework trials.
IMPACT ON WAYS OF WORKING
Working with the broad definition of teleworker, as presented in Chapter 1, over 5,000
identifiable individuals have become teleworkers as a result of this project, and over
24,000 identifiable individuals have experience a permanent change in their working
habits as a result of this project.
AWARENESS RAISING
The information on the projects was disseminated via three vehicles: Printed information
on the TSA sent out by the projects totalled about 115,000 publications. In addition,
about 100,000 publications have been distributed by the CEC. Additionally, electronic
information disseminated through the Internet (WWW) and CompuServe is estimated to
be at least as much as that distributed physically.
WORKSHOPS, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS
The projects were asked to give details of events attended by the project, where the
project or its findings were presented.
Over 211 external events were attended by the projects, with a total estimated audience
of in excess of 16,000 people.
Figure 1 below demonstrates the consistent level of activity within the programme life,
which continued after the projects had finished. Many other events were held where the
projects were unable to quantify the number of attendees, and in these cases, no estimates
were included.
