Introduction: the General Sarmiento National University of Argentina assumes the challenge of advancing in a modernization project for all administrative and academic management activities through a 100% teleworking scheme. Methodology: based on a pilot test of partial teleworking, an evaluation is carried out for the full implementation of the modality, using the design of a teleworking efficiency index as a diagnostic instrument. Results: the results obtained from the teleworking efficiency index will facilitate the design of a staged program for the implementation of teleworking for all non-teaching staff of the House of Higher Studies. Discussion: the challenge of implementing 100% teleworking for non-teaching staff was perceived with quite enthusiasm in general terms, although some staff show some resistance to a possible change in the usual way of working. Conclusions: the results obtained from the field work allow us to adopt a collective consciousness willing to advance in a modernization project that includes more than 400 people involved in this transition of work scheme.
