Brock\u2019s internal information source has been redesigned with employees top of mind.<\/p>\n
On June 1, a new homepage look debuted for SharePoint<\/a>, the University\u2019s private intranet for faculty and staff. Named \u2018SharePoint @ Brock,\u2019 the site is more visually appealing, easier to navigate and features employee-focused news and events like health and safety tips, professional development opportunities and feature stories.<\/p>\n It also includes quick links to popular web pages; a highlighted video; feeds from The Brock News, Information Technology Services and Facilities Management; and easy access to Yammer, Brock\u2019s private, internal social network.<\/p>\n SharePoint @ Brock is distinct from The Brock News<\/a>, which is the University\u2019s original campus newsletter.<\/p>\n While The Brock News continues to be a media outlet aimed at broad internal and external readership, the new-look SharePoint @ Brock is targeted at Brock faculty and staff.<\/p>\n Kevin Cavanagh, Interim Director, University Marketing and Communications, said that as The Brock News expanded to address a broader range of audiences, the need for more specific in-house employee communications became apparent.<\/p>\n \u201cSharePoint @ Brock provides faculty and staff with a centralized source of information, news and events that is specifically for \u2014\u00a0and about \u2014\u00a0them. The site is a resource for people who work at Brock,\u201d said Cavanagh.<\/p>\n Similar to The Brock News daily emails, employees can expect to receive a weekly email digest of the news and events posted to SharePoint.<\/p>\n Story submissions and event postings for SharePoint @ Brock are accepted via an online form<\/a> or by emailing Jocelyn Titone, Communications Specialist with University Marketing and Communications, at jtitone@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brock\u2019s internal information source has been redesigned with employees top of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":51337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[36,39,40,7,55,37,41,1,4,38],"tags":[53,6311,101,180,3813,6208,6685,3814,1436],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51336"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51336"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51338,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51336\/revisions\/51338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
