Keeping You Informed
In order to ensure that you have the information you need to do your job well and to take advantage of the many benefits available to you as a University of Florida employee, we are committed to communicating with you openly and regularly. As such, we send information of immediate concern directly to you via mail or e-mail; design notices and policy statements for posting on bulletin boards; and provide memoranda that call attention to new or revised policies, practices, or procedures.
Human Resource Services also produces the InfoGator, a monthly online newsletter designed to provide information about the university’s Human Resource Services program; training catalogs that provide information about available programs; and other publications designed with you in mind.
