As many individuals adjust to working both in person and remotely, as well as interacting with colleagues in various locations, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) has rolled out recommendations on how to manage new approaches to a variety of tools, equipment, formats and more.
To develop the guidance, OIT worked with campus departments to understand what issues have come up while working remotely.
“I reviewed every aspect of this webpage and found it extremely useful,” said Terri Fiez, vice chancellor for research and innovation. “We have shared this with everyone in my organization, and it will have immediate value in helping ensure our hybrid workforce has easy-to-digest information on existing services, best practices and support coming from OIT. Well done, team OIT!”
The webpage includes guidance and tools for how to:
- Make your files secure and accessible.
- Manage your computer and equipment.
- Set up and run hybrid meetings.
- Collaborate with your co-workers.
- Connect to campus resources and wireless networks.
- Manage your work phone in a hybrid environment.
Some of the recommendations are straightforward suggestions based on industry best practices and OIT-supported services. Others are more flexible suggestions that rely on departmental development of standards and norms as appropriate.
The recommendations will be updated over time as new needs are discovered and addressed and OIT is inviting feedback from the CU Boulder employee community.
Human Resources also offers extensive remote/alternate work resources, including a toolkit and more.
