“…Telework has thus appeared as an option to handle the challenges of work such as maintaining a company's physical space and fixed costs, work displacement, flexibility in management and accompanying the expected results (COENEN and KOK, 2014;BARROS and SILVA, 2010;SERRA, 2010).

Amidst the changes in the business world, companies are constantly forced to adapt by reviewing their policies, their processes and their practices and work routines. Among various working practices, teleworking is a controversial theme in management and worthy of more in-depth studies. Based on this premise, the following research question is proposed: What are the critical elements for telework programs' sustainability in a multinational company? This article aims to describe and characterize teleworkers' views regarding telework as a human resources practice, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the challenge of making it a strategically oriented practice. A study was carried out in a telework program for interns of a multinational company. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with twelve trainees and examined through a content analysis with the aid of the software NVivo 9. The analysis provided seven categories regarding the percep¬tions of the program participants. Among advantages identified are the positive relationships between telework and academic activities, the flexibility provided, as well as professional development as a result of autonomous setting of individual working goals. On the other hand, the working hours, the difficulty of untying personal life from work and problems with visibility within the organization -which is important in terms of career advancement -were singled out as major difficulties of this work mode. Aspectos críticos do teletrabalho em uma companhia multinacional ResumoEm meio às transformações no mundo dos negócios, as empresas são constantemente forçadas a se adaptar, revisando suas políticas, seus processos e suas práticas e rotinas de trabalho. Dentre as diversas práticas de trabalho, o teletrabalho é um tema polêmico em administração e merecedor de estudos mais aprofundados. Baseando-se nessa premissa, propõe-se a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: Quais são os elementos críticos para a sustentabilidade de um programa de teletrabalho no contexto de uma empresa multinacional?. Este artigo busca descrever e caracterizar as visões de teletrabalhadores em relação ao teletrabalho enquanto prática de recursos humanos (RH), suas vantagens e desvantagens, assim como o desafio de torná-lo uma prática estrategicamente orientada. Realizou-se estudo em um programa de teletrabalho para estagiários de uma empresa multinacional. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com 12 estagiários e examinados por meio de análise de conteúdo no programa de computador NVivo 9. A análise forneceu 7 categorias acerca das percepções dos participantes do programa de teletrabalho. Dentre as vantagens identificadas estão a relação positiva entre teletrabalho e atividades acadêmicas, a flexibilidade proporcionada, assim como o amadurecimento profissional como resultado do estabelecimento autônomo de metas individuais de trabalho; por outro lado, a sobrecarga de horas de trabalho, a dificuldade de desvincular a vida pessoal do trabalho e os problemas com ...

“…Secondly, for their diverse nature, such as one pricing policy, one behavioural policy and one structural policy, which would broaden the scope of the study and enrich the comparative assessment. Thirdly, because all policies are aligned with some trends, which are really happening in cities, such as car pricing policies [60], flexible working arrangements [61] and regeneration and revitalisation of inner city centres to avoid the migration of the population to the suburbs [62]. Finally, the limitations of the MARS model to simulate policy measures needed to be considered, since it is an aggregated model.…”
