Implementação de Protocolos de Sustentabilidade em Trabalhadores que atuam no Trabalho Remoto

Abstract

Remote work is a mode of employment that has existed for years. Some companies adopt this form of work for a variety of reasons, among which we can highlight functional well-being, mobility, productivity, etc. The adoption of remote work was on the rise, and with the advent of Covid-19, due to the need for social isolation, many companies and their employees had to adapt immediately and emergently to remote work. People began to carry out their daily activities in an environment distant from the conventional one, in most cases, in their own residence. This change occurred without any type of preparation or guidance from the perspective of sustainability. People adapted their conditions to the moment, in order to be able to continue in the face of the challenges of that scenario. The objective of this work is to verify the change in people's behavior, from the application of an environmental sustainability protocol in remote work. This study presents the relevance of implementing protocols or orientation materials focused on sustainability in the context of remote work, aiming at the awareness of collaborators. Through the application of a longitudinal study, using the panel method and multiple correspondence analysis, it was possible to identify the indication of change in participants' behavior. The results indicate that, after the application of the protocol, all participants adopted or intensified the frequency of adopting sustainable practices in their remote work environment, contributing to a more sustainable professional daily life.
