Guiding Principles

The Hybrid Working Programme is defined by the following guiding principles:

• Create robust and flexible work processes and management structures to support staff to perform at their best whether they are working off or on campus.

• Promote social cohesion and equality.

• Emphasis on people and wellbeing.

• Campuses are the centre of gravity.

• Staff are informed about the Hybrid Working Programme and have opportunities to engage.

• Decisions about hybrid working will be made at local level to suit business and service needs against an overall University plan.

• A framework will guide discussions and support decision making about hybrid working, taking account of the needs of the business, team and individual staff members.

• In general, we will not fix or make permanent the new Hybrid work patterns for the first experimental year.
