Making Hybrid Work
New hybrid working guidance for central and faculty professional services staff and technical staff
When we returned to campus after lockdown in 2021, we launched the Interim Return to Campus Guidance and staff were expected to work at least 40% of their time on-site.听We reviewed these arrangements earlier this year through a series of listening exercises听and we are now launching the new guidance and other tools and resources to support staff and managers.
Key changes made to the guidance
Campus life is integral to the student and staff experience and it is important that staff continue to be engaged in the culture and life on campus, providing excellent services to students and staff in-person when needed, and for teams to come together in-person.听The new guidance applies to professional services staff in central departments and faculties, including technical staff.听
It introduces 3 categories of worker:
On-site First:鈥痺orking more than 80% of time on-site.听
Hybrid Worker:鈥痺orking between 20% and 80% of time on-site, using an activity-led approach rather than a strict % baseline.听
Remote First:鈥痺orking less than 20% of time on-site.听
How we鈥檒l support you
The guidance and accompanying toolkit and resources on this page, provide a framework to help departments determine which category staff are in, their working patterns and the type of activity teams come on-site for.
Implementation
Line managers will be discussing the guidance with their teams over a 3-month period and new arrangements will need to be听operational by 1听October 2022, but we also recognise that some staff may need a longer transition period to make necessary arrangements.听The Interim People Management Guidance currently remains in place for academic, teaching and research听staff pending further review.听
