HRS WorkLife Programs Flexible Work Arrangements

Telework * Compressed Work Week * Flex Time

Purdue recognizes that because of its unique and diverse work environment, flexible work arrangements will not apply in all situations. Therefore, flexible work guidelines are offered to help supervisors and employees create an arrangement that can support the institutional goals and improve employee satisfaction.
