And it can be time-consuming to search the human resources Web site in search of updates or specific information.

But now, individuals with supervisory and/or management responsibilities can receive a new e-newsletter from human resources.

The quarterly newsletter, HRNews, contains several sections, including policy highlights, human resources tips, upcoming events and reminders.

All information is timely, concise and applicable to the University's needs. Recipients receive an e-mail with a Web link that takes them to HRNews.

"The newsletter is something we've been working on for some time," said Lorraine Goffe-Rush, director of employee relations and human resources. "HR has a lot of information that needs to be shared with supervisors throughout the year, so the purpose of the newsletter is to provide a convenient and timely way of communicating information about policies, HR tips, reminders and upcoming events, among other things."

Deans, directors, department heads and other supervisors were included in the original distribution list. Individuals who have these responsibilities and would like to receive this newsletter can e-mail hr-news@wustl.edu to subscribe.

Individuals on the list who would prefer to not receive the newsletter can unsubscribe by e-mailing the same address.

"It is our goal to make this e-newsletter as relevant as possible, so please feel free to contact me with any feedback and/or suggestions," Goffe-Rush said.
