Tulane University continues to actively monitor developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Although there are currently no identified cases of COVID-19 in the Tulane community, the situation is rapidly changing, and it is anticipated that cases in our area will increase. With this said, we encourage all supervisors to demonstrate understanding and flexibility with employees in your respective areas. The health, welfare and safety of our employees is of utmost importance and this is the principle that should guide our interactions.

To support increased workplace flexibility, the university is implementing a flexible work arrangement policy effective immediately. Supervisors are encouraged to incorporate flexible work arrangements into their normal operations and business continuity planning efforts where possible. Please review the flexible work arrangements website for more information about the program.

If you have questions related to this email, please consult with your HR business partner.
