| Description: | This study examines the effects of teleworking as a human resources policy measure on gender‐specific time poverty. The focus is on the experiences of women with care tasks in Austria. Differences in the design of teleworking models before, during, and after the COVID‐19 pandemic with the introduction of a company policy as well as the resulting group dynamic effects and their connection to time pressure are analyzed. The questions are examined as to what significance the specific context has on the implementation of the teleworking policy and what effects arise from universal HR policy thinking on inclusion in the company. The study shows that women's time poverty worsens in all forms of teleworking due to the context, although positive effects are also visible. The importance of human resource management derives from this in designing telework policies and practices that not only support business objectives but also address the specific challenges faced by employees, particularly women with caregiving responsibilities. |
