Introducing YourYale
The It’s Your Yale website is now home to a new weekly e-newsletter, YourYale, for and about the staff; learn more about what to expect.
Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” work model to define when, where, and how Yale staff members perform their work to support its missions, the University has adopted an approach of “excellence with flexibility” to shape the way we perform our various roles. At Yale, work models are based on operational needs and fall under two main types: FlexPlace or the location where work is performed, and FlexTime, which provides alternatives to a traditional work schedule.
Based on department operational needs and responsibilities, FlexPlace work arrangements fall into four general categories.
An employee may request a FlexTime work schedule to plan work around personal obligations while keeping a standard number of core hours.
Vision
Yale strives to have all community members feel welcomed, respected, accepted and understood, and able to reach their full potential to serve Yale’s mission—and the world at large. The University prioritizes the recruitment and retention of highly qualified and engaged staff members who seek professional fulfillment within a collegial environment.
As new work models emerge, Yale integrates these priorities with both its mission-driven and operational needs. The university continues to value the connections that are developed on campus and with our New Haven community.
