Return-to-Campus Planning
Planning is underway for more members of the HSDM workforce to begin returning to campus in July. As we head into this transition period, HSDM has convened a Return-to-Campus Task Force to:
- Review and develop a safe workforce re-entry plan for our currently remote faculty and staff that meets the needs of the various business and academic units, while taking into account the unique needs of individuals
- Provide managers with HR guidance, tools, and support to facilitate planning, with the goal of each unit creating a plan to share with HR
- Set schedule/timeline for re-entry milestones
- Ensure safety and compliance with all University and State guidance, policies, and procedures
- Communicate points of the re-entry process in a cohesive and transparent way through email messages, online FAQ, and Town Hall meeting
- Support the transition back to work and foster a renewed sense of community
