Obstacles faced by public administration in remote work in Italy 2020

As of 2020, more than 6.5 million employees in Italy were working from home. Due to the COVID-19 measures, a great number of workers had to change their daily habits and start to work from home. The difficulties faced by the public administration varied based on how prepared the entities were. For instance, compared to administrations which already implemented home office before the pandemic, administrations which did not organize any remote work before had more problems with employees' security and data security. Overall, among the most common issues there were difficulties in keeping a balance between professional and private life as well as disparities in the work load among the employees.
