"The changes caused by teleworking when compared to the (more?) traditional way (manner?) of working have different repercussions according to the point of view of the persons interested: The employee’s, the employer’s and even the whole company’s objectives are all different, so we must take care not to draw any hasty conclusions as far as the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking are concerned, and take all these points of view into account."
Could someone please check this paragraph?
Among others, I'm wondering about to use or not to use the def. article before "telework - ing"

Hi Pieanne,
I don't think you need the definite article.
Think I'd go with "traditional manner", I think 'more' is redundant.
I'm wondering about the colon; ( the punctuation mark, not the other sort!) A full stop might be better, or perhaps it was a typo.

The changes brought about by telecommuting, compared to the more traditional working arrangement, have different consequences depending on point of view: The objectives of the employee, the employer, and even the company itself are all different, so we should not jump to conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of telecommuting, but should take all these viewpoints into account.
