Flexible Workspace Pilot Program
Since Spring 2021, Ontario Tech has initiated efforts to examine how to best respond to the changing nature of work and expectations of our valued employees. Underscoring this approach was a commitment from our President, Dr. Steven Murphy, to move our university away from pre-pandemic norms and settings that defined the traditional workplace.
We are proud and excited to launch our Flexible Workspace Pilot Program for administrative staff at Ontario Tech. While we are encouraged at both the prospect of a changing work environment and the benefits that will emerge from a new way of doing business, we are equally aware that the success of this pilot program involves listening to the voices of those involved.
The participation of our employees will include more than just the hybrid work experience; it will involve regular feedback so that these collective experiences can shape the best fit for work life at Ontario Tech into the future.
The core objectives of our Flexible Workspace Strategy are people-focused:
- Continue to remove barriers that will advance equity, diversity and inclusion.
- Strengthen employee engagement and the values-based approach to what we do and how we do it.
- Support employee health and wellness.
- Expand our reach into talent pools residing beyond traditional hiring boundaries.
