To support a flexible work environment, the following principles will guide our discussions and practices surrounding flexible work.
Commitment to Excellence
The University’s mission and key initiatives will guide decisions about flexible work options.
Inclusivity & Connectivity
Creating a culture of inclusivity and connectivity is critical to building a collaborative, innovative work environment. We will closely monitor the impact of a flexible work environment on our community culture and partner with faculty and staff to create opportunities for collaboration and increased engagement across the institution.
Communication
We will communicate with our employees clearly, frequently, and honestly.
Training & Support
Provide guidance and development opportunities to strengthen our ability to evolve and operate in a flexible work environment.
Forward Thinking
We will maintain a forward-thinking lens that is flexible and adaptable, understanding that policies and practices may change to respond to the business needs of the University. On both an individual and organizational level, we will monitor our progress and be prepared to make changes using data, best practices, and good judgment.
