The Marketing & Communications Department recently re-evaluated the 2007 internal communications survey results and is rolling out some next steps to improve internal communications at UH. Later this week, an upgraded version of Daily News will be launched that will be a bit more user friendly. Going forward a more proactive approach will be taken to solicit news stories across the system. Additionally, a guidelines sheet detailing the employee publications, Monday Morning and Daily News, has been created. The flyer explains how to submit to the publications and the type of news that should be submitted. Please save this flyer and keep it handy in your work area. The Marketing & Communications Department thanks you for your feedback and looks forward to listening to your suggestions in 2008 in order to improve the ways you receive important information.
