Developing a Flex Proposal (University-Wide)

Bring your lunch to this in-depth look at how to develop a flexible work arrangement proposal based on Harvard’s University-wide flexible work guidelines. Nancy Costikyan, the director of Harvard’s Office of Work/Life, will review the essential ingredients of a flex proposal; how to assess your manager’s attitude about workplace flexibility; the timing of conversations with your manager; when and how to avoid getting into the personal considerations behind the proposal; and how to identify ways to evaluate the success of an arrangement after a trial period. Issues of trust, brave conversations, transparency, and fairness will be also be explored.

Optional pre-work includes a review of the online guidelines.
