Hi everyone,
It is another busy Friday Feeling this week – but before that I thought I would share a quote which on my climbs to the tops of waterfalls last weekend, was quite literal for me!
University strategy
On Wednesday we all received an email from our VC letting us know that the University strategy with its implementation plan that we all contributed to, and a document detailing new governance structures is being published on Monday. To launch the strategy members of ULT are hosting 4 events across the University over the next couple of weeks.
These presentation events are a great opportunity to hear more about these in person and to ask any questions you may have (and ULT are encouraging you to ask them!), we hope as many of you as possible will try and attend one of these. However if you are unable to book onto an event then one of them will be filmed and we will make sure we share the link to the video on the Friday Feeling once it’s available.
Valentine’s Raffle
Whether you are into Valentine’s Day or not – the Charity group have 4 great prizes up for grabs this time in their Amy’s House raffle. You only have until 2pm on Monday to buy your tickets. You can get them online from the SHU store, or in person from Grazina, Karen or Gemma. You have to be in it to win it!!
New staff Intranet
You may have all noticed that our staff intranet homepage has had a face lift. This change is to allow our Employee and Change Comms team to communicate better with the University on the new University strategy. It provides more functionality for sharing news and information than the previous homepage.
If you have any feedback regarding the intranet homepage please speak to or send it to either myself or Vanessa and we will ensure this is passed on to the Employee and Change Comms team.
Staff Twitter account – @HallamStaff
For those of you on Twitter the University launched this week a new twitter account dedicated to sharing information and news to our staff. If you are like Lorna and ‘don’t do that Twitter thing’ then most recent tweets are being displayed on the homepage with no need a Twitter account, you may need to use Chrome to be able to see it though!
Signatures
I sent you all a rogue email at the beginning of the week as the Employee Engagement Awards had sent through our winner banner for our email signatures. Here is a reminder about how you insert it into your signature if you haven’t had time yet.
- Right-click and copy the picture in my signature
- Open a new message
- Click on “Insert” at the top
- Click on the arrow underneath “signature” and select the bottom option “signatures…”
- A pop up box will open, select and delete the picture of the old signature
- Right click, and paste where you want the picture to appear
- Click OK
University Mental Health Day
This year the day is being held on Thursday 2nd March and its focus is active health. There is a webpage dedicated to the day. If you think you would like to do something to raise awareness of this day within Finance, please let me know and I will be happy to help!
What else this week?
