Abstract: The interest of specialists and practitioners in telework peaked in recent times, in the context of the pandemic, on the one hand, and also in the context of the extension of the use of information technology, on the other hand. In this paper, we propose to understand, identify and delineate certain relevant aspects, but also some possible evolutions regarding telework within a predictable time frame of one year, through conducting a circumstantial enquiry among managers and entrepreneurs from some small and medium-sized enterprises in Romania (the municipality of Bucharest and the surrounding areas, namely Ilfov county). The main elements that we took into account are the following: aspects concerning the carrying out of economic activity under the conditions of telework, tele-employees and the perception regarding professional and personal life, the challenges of teleworking. Managers who participated in the enquiry admit that there are certain causes which limit the activity of the company they represent, and telework, equipment and insufficient demand determine this phenomenon. On the other hand, managers characterize the impact of telework, currently carried out, on the company’s turnover as being a positive one. The managers’ perception regarding telework in the context of putting an end to the pandemic is that it will decrease, firstly due to the necessity of direct human contact.
