Welcome to the Staff Scoop!
Hello colleagues,
If you’re reading this, you have made the wise decision to open the very first edition of the HCPSS Staff Scoop newsletter!
This is an opportunity for all staff to receive updates, opportunities, and remain informed and involved in our work in a way that isn’t too stuffy. I’ve lost interest halfway through too many newsletters in my life, so the intent of the Staff Scoop is to share information in an enjoyable way.
The newsletter will grow and evolve. There will be opportunities for feedback and I invite you to reflect on what you might enjoy, ways to improve and information you would like to see included.
Kudos to the communications and multimedia team for their vision of this newsletter and for the hard work they will put into providing a product you value.
Enjoy!
Bill
