Speak up Be heard: Health and safety

The last year has shown that staff can still be productive from home and that remote work has helped improve quality of work/life balance for many. Returning to campus will be great for in-person collaboration again, but there is still a significant benefit to staff if we can continue to work remotely at least one day a week. Many staff would benefit from a flexible hybrid policy (especially for those of us with a long commute or family needs at home) but are too afraid to ask if it is not a common university policy. There seems to be discussion about flexibility for students and faculty, but minimal information about what this flexibility will look like for staff. Is leadership considering a policy that would allow staff to opt-in to a permanent hybrid schedule?
