As part of Smart Restart, an online forum for faculty and staff will be held at noon on Thursday, Aug. 13. Chancellor Rebecca Blank, Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration Laurent Heller, Chief Human Resources Officer Mark Walters and other panelists will answer the most frequently asked questions from employees and governance leads. They will also discuss topics gathered from the survey emailed to employees last week. The forum will focus on issues such as employee health and safety, facilities modifications, positive case reporting, accommodations, benefits and leave, transportation, and childcare and caregiving flexibilities. Employees are encouraged to email questions to smartrestart@vc.wisc.edu before and during the session. The forum will be streamed live and will be available for viewing later on the UW–Madison YouTube channel.
