Welcome to the first edition of This
week at Sussex
|
|
|
|
This week at Sussex
is our brand new weekly newsletter that
will land in your inbox at the start of the working week. As you
will be aware, our weekly newsletter previously came out on a
Friday but from this week all that has changed!
From now on you will receive a Monday email that features
weekly calls for action and important news for the week ahead.
Then every other Thursday we will send out Sussex in focus,
a newsletter highlighting stories from the Sussex community.
The new formats have been created with staff input and feedback.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us develop the newsletters and
consulted on them. We hope you enjoy reading it and if you have any
feedback or suggestions, please complete our feedback form
or email the Internal Communications
Team.
