Remote Work Policy

Duke University and the Duke University Health System (“Duke”) place a high value on cross-team collaboration and strong community building in order to create a vibrant campus for our students, faculty and staff. Faculty and staff are essential to foster this vibrant environment. In recent years Duke has seen an expansion of remote work arrangements and is supportive of these arrangements but also recognizes the need for a physical presence to support the community members on campus. While there is no single model for remote work arrangements, Duke is committed to empowering units to develop a range of remote work structures to support their operations and has developed guidance within which departments can create appropriate structures to meet their needs.

This policy contains requirements and guidelines for approving and supporting Remote Work, and identifies certain areas that require additional consideration when remote work is approved.
