asked to share relevant key dates to remember with your team:

Function. Interviews and focus groups are now completed and discussions will take

place to validate the findings of this review.

documents to test the design proposal for the Communities and Supporters Division

(CSD) changes are being finalised. The document, which will also be sent to Union

representatives, is focused on the new management structure proposal for our CSD.

Manager’s resources for this month

Costs of sending all staff

emails

• ‘Email overload’: productivity

cost and impact on attention

spans for staff.

•Duplication of information

management activities.

What can we do instead?

•Publish your information on CAFODConnect and promote it as the

first source of information for your team. If you have connectivity

problems or need training/assistance using it, ask for help to Steven

(Sharepoint) or Becky (CAFODConnect)

•Map the most suitable areas on CAFODConnect and use it as home

for all your information updates.

•If you need to communicate via email, link back to CAFODConnect.

‘All staff’ emails are often used to send out new policies and procedures, programmes

updates and other changes. These can range from a few paragraphs to 50 pages documents,

and it is left for each staff member to keep track of this information.
