Project Summary:

This research evaluates the multi-faceted impact of NAU’s “True Blue Summer Flex Policy,” which offers flexible work schedules during the summer months. By synthesizing data from Human Resources, Utility Services, and Parking Services, the study quantifies the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from decreased commuting and building energy usage. Beyond environmental metrics, the project also assesses employee satisfaction and financial savings, highlighting the intersection of human well-being and sustainability. The findings will shape future workplace policies, aiming to optimize the “New NAU workplace” for both environmental resilience and workforce morale
