Abstract
In 2020, the world was hit by the Covid-19 epidemic and the countries made
different decisions on when and how to adopt adequate measures. One of them was
teleworking; many people stayed at home where they worked and at the same time took care
of their family members and assisted their school-age children.
After one month of working from home, the respondents assessed that their family members
had a better understanding of the concept of working from home. Besides, the respondents
were more organised for this type of work and took care of their school-age children. The fear
of losing their job has also reduced, but they were more concerned about salary cuts.
The selection of findings and measures could become a guide for employees in order to help
them balance private life and work and thus manage stress when working from home.
