Remote Work Policy and Training

Our new remote work policy is to allow employees to work at alternate work locations for all or part of their workweek. Telecommuting can improve productivity and job performance as well as promote efficiencies and sustain the recruitment and retention of a highly qualified workforce by enhancing work/life balance.

All supervisors must review the Remote Performance Managment Training before approving telework for any employee.

The Remote Work Policy and Agreement must be signed by employee, department head, and divisional Vice President before submitting the agreement to Human Resources. The agreement may be emailed to hr@txwes.edu.
