We Want to Hear From You! Take the “Employee Matters” Newsletter Survey
It’s hard to believe that we are coming up on the two-year anniversary of the launch of “Employee Matters” newsletter. When we launched our first issue on April 15, 2020, our goal was to use the newsletter as a tool to help us better communicate and connect with our employees while working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (See the newsletter archive.) Now that we are fully back in our offices and workspaces, we would like to hear from you about what you would like to see in the newsletter. Please take a moment to complete the “Employee Matters” Newsletter Survey. This is a chance to share your thoughts, perspectives, and feedback. We look forward to receiving your feedback and building on your ideas to help enhance the “Employee Matters” newsletter.
