Georgia Tech follows the University System of Georgia’s policies for workplace flexibility to support the well-being of our employees and achieve our workplace goals. Although not every position can take advantage of these arrangements, there are a variety of ways that flexibility can be leveraged while maintaining productivity.   

The Flexwork Arrangements policy covers a variety of work arrangements, including hybrid and fully remote work scenarios. As stated in the policy, decisions to implement flexible work will be made by an employee’s unit leadership.

There are three types of flexible work arrangements available.  

1. Compressed Workweek allows an employee to work a traditional 40-hour work week in less than 5 days.
2. Flextime allows employees to change their arrival, departure and/or lunch times to come in earlier or leave later than the organization’s normal hours.
3. Telecommuting allows employees to work away from the conventional or main office.

• The process to determine a staff member’s flexible working arrangement is equitable.   
• Decisions are made without bias or favoritism.   
• Opportunities to work remote and/or hybrid match job responsibilities.   
• Hybrid and remote working options have a positive or net-neutral effect on productivity, employee performance, and employee well-being.   
• Approved hybrid and remote working options are documented and revisited (at maximum annually) based on team need and job responsibility.  
• Engaging in a flexible work arrangement is a privilege for those employees in good performance standing with the Institute.
