In "Laudato Sii" Pope Francis clearly states that a decent work is "free, creative, participatory and supportive. The present article shows the characteristics that a work must have, and the most suitable organizational models to favor work’s promotion and consideration in the perspective indicated by the Pontiff. In particular, it identifies the smart working as a model capable of favoring and enhancing the cognitive engagement of the worker: trust, freedom, responsibility and autonomy are the characterizing aspects of smart work. This model also allows a better reconciliation of work and family life, a more balanced distribution of family responsibilities and greater participation of women in the labor market and in civil and democratic life. Trade unions can have a leading role in the transition to organizational models capable of enhancing the centrality of the person: the cornerstones of a strategy oriented in this direction are territorial bargaining and the training of workers.

Keywords: smart working; decent work; caregiving; relation ethic; reconciliation between private life and work; company bargaining.
