Brock implements new Flexible Work Arrangement Policy and Procedures

Brock University has announced that its new Flexible Work Arrangement (FWA) Policy and Procedures are now in effect. In the policy, Brock notes its commitment to creating and maintaining FWAs, given their potential for generating higher job satisfaction, wellness, and work-life balance. The policy outlines four types of FWAs: Work From Home, Compressed Work Weeks, Adjusted Schedules, and Stacked Arrangements. Brock also offers several key considerations for those considering an FWA, such as how these arrangements interact with formal accommodations, collective agreement provisions, security and confidentiality protocols, and holiday weeks. The university previously implemented a work-from-home guideline on a trial basis in 2021; this new policy replaces these guidelines.
