Flexible Work Program

The industry standard will be decided at the campus level by experts in the field. For example, campus IT leadership will communicate what the industry standard is for IT positions.

How often employees who are not senior managers work onsite will be determined at the team level, in collaboration with executive leadership. Senior managers are expected to be primarily onsite for four or more days per week. Outside of senior managers, there is no mandate for employees who have been hybrid/remote to return to working on campus for any set number of days per week.

Decisions regarding what constitutes a “senior manager” will be made at the enterprise level, with input from executive leaders across UCSF. However, we are expecting this to be defined as individuals in the M3 staff management group and above, and the senior management (faculty) group.

Senior managers and leaders serve to steward the excellence of UCSF culture and the vibrancy of the campus. An on-campus presence offers insight into the experience of our onsite learners, faculty, and staff, whether we ourselves manage onsite workers or not. Senior managers are also frequently responsible for working with other senior leaders (not just their teams) on projects and organizational priorities that may require a greater onsite presence.

Decisions regarding hiring employees who will reside outside the Bay Area/California will be made at the enterprise level, with input from executive leaders across UCSF. However, as a public anchor institution, we have an obligation to the financial success of our communities and state, and part of fulfilling that obligation involves cultivating a workforce that resides in California. This view is consistent with that of UC Office of the President and many other UC campuses.
