A Note from the Central HR Director
Dear County Managers,
Welcome to the first e-newsletter edition of “Management Matters,” our popular quarterly communication from Labor Relations, a section of Multnomah County’s Central Human Resources. We have recently changed from a PDF format to an HTML newsletter.
In a work climate that is constantly changing, Central Human Resources believes timely, accessible communications with Multnomah County’s managers helps us to stay informed about issues of critical importance to the organization.
In the next few months you’ll also be seeing a monthly communication from other sections of Central Human Resources:
- Talent Development will have a quarterly newsletter for all employees on trainings and organizational development activities;
- Central Human Resources will have one general newsletter to all employees on HR topics of interest across all departments;
We developed this family of e-newsletters so that Central Human Resources can communicate critical information to our valued “customer base”...Multnomah County managers and employees.
Please let us know what you think.
— Travis Graves, Director
Central Human Resources
