Washington University in St. Louis recognizes that it offers a wide range of jobs in many different work settings that have differing operational needs. The university believes that the utilization of flexible work arrangements offers advantages for both the university and our employees where these arrangements are operationally possible.
Similarly, our employees have different personal and family circumstances and need options for balancing personal and work commitments. Remote work arrangements are one of the variety of flexible work arrangements available. This page is intended to provide resources and guidance for managers and employees on effective remote work.
