Télépro

Télépro, short for téléprofessionnel (masculine) or téléprofessionnelle (feminine), is a French term referring to an individual who works remotely, typically from home, using telecommunications technology. It encompasses a broader range of remote work than simply "telecommuting" and can include freelancers, employees of companies, and self-employed individuals. The profession typically involves using technologies like computers, internet connections, telephones, and other digital communication tools to perform work tasks. The rise of the télépro is linked to advancements in technology and a changing attitude toward work-life balance, allowing individuals to pursue professional opportunities while maintaining a greater degree of location independence. The term is commonly used in France and other French-speaking regions.
