Achievements:

•In 2023 the APS Census Results revealed that staff from the ENSW region required a greater connection and engagement with the Regional Manager, particularly staff based in regional areas. Acting on this feedback, I made the decision to pitch the idea of a newsletter to be distributed that would aim to showcase the valuable work of staff across the region along with work from the Regional Manager. The idea was that the newsletter would serve as a bridge to connect the work that was occurring with staff and of the Regional Manager along with celebrating important milestones with staff across the region (work anniversaries,retirements). I was responsible for the sourcing of material for the newsletter, writing content, designing via Microsoft Publisher and distributing to staff. The first send of the newsletter was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback. The newsletter is now a permanent fixture on the calender for the year and received a mention from staff as an effective tool that was implemented to response to APS census feedback.
