Support for Employees
As a university, our foremost priority is to ensure our community is safe. With our GW COVID-19 Campus Health and Wellbeing Policy, we have made a firm commitment to your safety and health. We also recognize that in order for this policy to be a success, it requires our university to work together, and to care for each other through practicing social distancing, wearing a mask, and taking part in health directives from the university.
Your wellbeing is critical - we invite you to take a look at some of the resources that we have developed for COVID-19 (including Pandemic Time) to help support our employees. We have also created different tips for employees, to help you through this crisis and guidance to assist you if you need to isolate or quarantine.
