The COVID-19 pandemic and the precautionary measures applied globally (lockdowns and curfews) have impacted homes, including work. Working from home (WFH) has emerged as a growing trend in the post-pandemic era. The research question was: Are our homes ready for teleworking? To respond, a national prospective mixed approach was launched for Spanish households during the spring 2020 lockdown, using two online questionnaires, one quantitative and the other qualitative. Through a survey, photographs, and narratives, the study evaluates the perceived adequacy of telework spaces and their specific characteristics, the availability of digital resources and the internet. A total of 1800 surveys and over 200 images and texts related to telework environments were obtained. The results suggest that the adequacy of these spaces was insufficient for more than a quarter of the homes. Also, strong relations between the perceived workspace adequacy and a social status or stability of homes were shown and validated, despite other sociodemographic features, the home composition or habitat were not related. Some other variables statistically significant were occupation regime, type and surface of dwellings; their indoor environmental quality; the availability of exclusive spaces for teleworking; quality of digital resources; and the specific space features. The analysis was completed with qualitative insights through photos and texts. Telework, lived in this context as an experiment, needs this reflection from an environmental, resource-availability, and ergonomic point of view.

Companies, public service organizations, and governments have tried to provide services to their stakeholders through vast use and rapid deployment of technology applications and cloudbased infrastructure (Kodama, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 crisis started at the end of 2019, and within a few months, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The disease has seriously affected the world economy, and strong actions have been taken to face the crisis; these have included lockdowns and the closing of borders by most countries. These measures have produced a strong economic crisis affecting most economic activity. Among them, aerospace is suffering the effects of the pandemic, experiencing especially unprecedented uncertainty regarding the future of commercial aviation. This situation can play an important role in the future deployment of Industry 4.0 by the sector.
