Hi everyone, just a quick note that my last name is pronounced "FAW-sack," (not foo-sic or fow-sack). Imagine someone with a strong NY accent answering the question, "How many sacks? FAW!"

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

A2: Glassdoor is amazing! And don't forget to use your own institution's past outcome data for comparisons. #EACE

Guys I just learned that Fordham emails are automatically deleted after 8 years and I'm so completely shook.

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

That’s all, folks! Thanks for joining me in today’s #EACE Twitter Chat. Mark your calendars for every second Tuesday of the month at 12pm ET for more fun discussions like this. Enjoy the rest of the week everyone!

A6. I try to use what would be my commute for other items in my life, as well as booking off time throughout the day for breaks. #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

A6) Stick to your working hours and take your vacation time! If something doesn’t get done by 5:00 (or whenever your day ends), that’s okay. We’re only human and everyone is overwhelmed, so people will understand if something takes an extra day or two. #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

@JCat1919 Sorry everyone else, but he's the number one participant of today's Twitter Chat, hands down. #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

And our last question for the day! Q6) How do you balance an increased workload with the same amount of time in your day? Do you have any work/life balance tips to share? #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

@casey_hilferty Yesss! I made a tip sheet last year just for things I found myself writing out over and over again for resume edits. Now I send it in advance of a review. #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

A5) Canned responses is a life-saver! I tend to shy away from external tools that I’d have to remember to use, but I like using the full range of options in G-Suite, like Tasks, Keep, Snooze, and even setting calendar reminders as emails so recurring tasks come to my inbox! #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

Q5) Are there any tools that you’ve been using to help increase your productivity? #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

@LynnCareerCoach Thanks, Lynn! I hope so too!

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

A4) Our Asst Director for D&I retired last semester, so in the meantime we started a committee in our department to handle some of those responsibilities, so that the workload is more evenly spread out instead of 1 person taking on 2 roles. #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

@casey_hilferty That's a lot of pressure! I hope you're both able to fit some time off in! #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

Q4) If you’ve experienced layoffs or hiring freezes, how has your team been handling the additional workload from those roles? #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

@casey_hilferty We broke them into groups to support the different teams in the department. So we have an Operations team., an ER team, a Marketing team, FDS, etc. This way everyone in the office has extra support! #EACE

[Kasey Fausak @kaseyfausak]

A3) This may be unique, but we found out Student Employment was struggling to find work-study positions for remote student workers since so many roles were in-person. Since most of our work can be done remotely, we took on 10+ more student workers, - a win-win for everyone! #EACE
