Newsletter survey results prompt action

A sample of the feedback received from the survey.

Moving forward

  • All current Physical Plant employees will receive an e-mail notice that the electronic version of the newsletter is on the website.
     
  • There will be newsstands placed around the Division (in the main building as well as the outlying buildings) with a limited number of printed copies. Single copies will be delivered to the Custodial Services work stations in University buildings and the Landscape Services work stations on campus.
     
  • Retirees who requested to receive the electronic version of the newsletter will receive an e-mail when it is available online. Those retirees who did not provide an e-mail address will continue to receive the printed version.
     
  • New employees at MSU, who used to receive one printed copy, will now receive one notice about the electronic version. They may sign up for future notices if they would like to join the e-mail listserv.
     
  • MSU’s deans, directors and chairs of individual colleges, offices and units will receive an e-mail notification when the newsletter is available online.
     
  • Those who have subscribed to the newsletter listserv will receive an e-mail notification when the newsletter is available online.

Thank you to all who took part in our recent readers survey. We appreciate all of the feedback, and we are already implementing changes based on your responses.

In cooperation with the MSU Vice President for Finance and Operations Office, the Physical Plant is a pilot partner in a University initiative to decrease the print runs and associated environmental costs of printing University publications in favor of electronic formats. This does not mean Facilities Focus is going away. We will continue to provide both printed and electronic versions of our Division newsletter for our readers.

Facilities Focus serves two functions: to communicate with current and former members of Team Phys Plant, keeping them abreast of the Division news, and to promote the excellent work done by Phys Planters to a broad external audience that might not be at all familiar with the Physical Plant. Our redesign, now in its second year, created a smaller publication with more photos and allowed us to publish it on a more frequent basis than its previous incarnation.

This is only one step in our plan to decrease the print runs and associated environmental costs of producing Facilities Focus. Stay tuned for more updates in the future.

Go Green!
