The Pac-12 made a major move related to its headquarters and office space on Tuesday as the San Francisco-based organization announced plans to move toward an ongoing flexible and remote work environment. It will forego permanent headquarters.
The conference said in a statement that the move would best support Pac-12 staff and deliver more revenue back to member universities to support student-athletes.
“The Pac-12 is committed to best supporting our employees by providing a work environment that accommodates today’s modern world and gives our employees maximum flexibility to live and work where they want, while still fostering collaboration among staff and our valued member institutions,” said Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff. “We are also committed to ongoing best-in-class production of Pac-12 events. We are excited for what this new remote and flexible work environment can do to support our employees, and for the new ways it will allow for us to reinvest in our member universities so that they can best support student-athletes.”
The conference, which said the decision was approved unanimously by the Pac-12 Board of Directors, is designed to offer work flexibility while also envisioning regular opportunities for employees to come together in person within the Pac-12 geographic footprint, including at Pac-12 campuses to foster greater collaboration with member universities.
