Perception of the bioclimatic conditions for teleworking in colombian homes. Bioclimatic conditions for telework in Colombia
Keywords:
bioclimatic, mental health, teleworkingAbstract
Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, teleworking was considered a work alternative. For this reason, it is relevant to verify the bioclimatic conditions of the new workplaces since they can affect labor productivity, mental health, and even people's physical health.
The objective of this research is to identify the perception of people regarding the bioclimatic aspects of teleworking places in comparison with the places that are commonly used in companies for that puporse, and also determine which is the modality of people´s preference (face-to-face, alternation, or virtuality). For this research, the survey method was the information collection technique that was implemented, where 280 people were surveyed in Colombia, mainly in the cities of Medellín, Bogotá, Cali, and Pereira.
Finally, it is very important to consider the selection of the work modality, the bioclimatic performance to improve people's health and the labor productivity.
