Flexible Work Arrangement Program
Rutgers University is excited to inform you that the FlexWork@RU Pilot Program has been extended until August 31, 2024. As part of this program, full-time staff members working in Career Exploration and Success can choose between a 4:1 compressed work week or working remotely for two days per week.
Additionally, CES has implemented #FocusFriday, a department-wide practice where internal meetings between CES colleagues are discouraged every Friday. This dedicated time enables staff to concentrate on accomplishing their goals. To further support productivity, CES encourages the utilization of automated "Focus Blocks" through Microsoft Outlook. These automated blocks allow staff members to schedule designated periods of uninterrupted work time, further maximizing their productivity and focus.
