A new start for Staff Update

03 Oct 2013

The first issue of the new-look Staff Update has just been published and it is on its way to its new audience – members of University staff who don’t have easy access to the intranet StaffNet at work.

In future, Staff Update will be published ten times a year, at the start of the month, and eligible staff will receive their copies at their team brief meeting.

Most stories will have a web address at the bottom of them – so that readers can find out more about the story if they’ve got a smartphone or internet access at home.

We’ve set up a staff panel made up of a selection of people from the Directorate of Estates and Facilities and the Directorate for the Student Experience, where most staff without internet access at work are based.

The panel has let us know the kind of stories they’d like to see in Staff Update, and we will be meeting regularly with them over the coming months to make sure that we get Staff Update just right.

If you know anyone who receives the new Staff Update and who would be interested in joining the panel, just ask him/her get in touch with:

• Linda Callaghan, Division of Communications and Marketing, on 0161 275 8388

And if anyone has a story that might be suitable for Staff Update, then here’s how to get it to us:

• email uninews@manchester.ac.uk
• Tel 0161 275 8388
• Post to the Internal Communications Team, Division of Communications and Marketing, Room LG.020, John Owens Building, The University of Manchester.
