We Heard You! Bexar County employees spoke loud in clear in a recent County Connection Newsletter survey—they want Human Resources to continue producing the monthly newsletter! In May of this year, 505 employees responded to our survey regarding the types of news articles offered in our newsletter and here were the results: The majority of the respondents said the newsletter was somewhat important to them and that they read the newsletter whenever they have a chance. Most folks agreed the newsletter should continue on a monthly basis. When asked about the newsletter content, the majority of the respondents said they would like to read more about Offices/Departments, financial articles, monthly discounts offered to County employees, and articles related to upcoming Community events. Overall, the respondents said they were satisfied with most of the newsletter content and find it useful from time to time. We’d like to thank the survey participants for providing us with valuable insight as to what Bexar County employees want to see in their County Connection. While we cannot implement all the suggestions provided to us in the comment section of the survey, we plan to refine the newsletter going forward with information and stories requested by our readers. Thanks to your responses, we created this new E-newsletter in the hopes that you will enjoy it either at work or at home. You can view this newsletter on your desktop, laptop, and smart devices. Scattered throughout the articles you will find hyperlinks to various webpages and/or videos. So be sure to check out each page for you never know what you might discover nestled in the fine print! Do you have a story (such as a special program, event, or employee recognition) that you’d like to share with our readers? We’ll be sharing a publication timeline with process detailed in our next issue. So, without further ado, may we present the new and improved County Connection E-Newsletter!
