CONSENSUS (includes newly added consensus points as of 10/28/20)

·         Flexibility

·         Hybrid of remote and on site - not 100% either way for most staff.

·         Design for job needs and requirements not staff member.

·         Collaboration and/or individual work can be done at home or onsite as appropriate.

·         Set schedules so everyone is accessible no matter where they are working.

·         Need to maintain in-person relationships (work and personal).

·         The “team” at SCLS is 50+ people with several smaller teams; admin, delivery, tech, ILS and consultants.

·         Staff will maintain their individual offices, but offices will be more equitably sized.

·         Collaborative space will be added (labs, shared soft spaces) and other common spaces such as the work room, deliverables room and meeting room sizes will be reduced to accommodate the new spaces.

·         Staff will be allowed to work remotely and/or in the office as their positions and duties allow with the understanding that there will be times all staff are required to report in person in order to facilitate and maintain staff working relationships.
