The VH Faculty’s policy for availability, email and meeting etiquette

New technology does not mean that staff members are expected to be constantly available, but it allows a greater flexibility and can give higher expectations about when colleagues are available.

Flexibility also makes it even more important to inform our colleagues about when we are available and when we are not.
