Special Introductory Issue | September 2012 
 
 
Welcome to Your Employee Newsletter!  
Howdy, Texas A&M employee!  This is a special introductory issue of a 
brand-new employee newsletter from HR! In this issue we want to share 
with you our objectives, ask for your feedback
 about the topics we plan to 
feature, and ask for your suggestions 
on additional articles for upcoming 
issues.  Oh, and we want your help in 
naming this newsletter so we are 
running a naming 
contest!  Our next 
issue will be in November when we’ll 
announce the contest winner and the 
newsletter name.  We are including 
some actual HR news about your 
Benefits that you really need to read, 
so don’t skip that! 
 
Newsletter Objectives 
So, why is HR publishing an employee newsletter?  We want you to hear it from us!  When there’s HR-related 
news or information that will impact you, as an employee, we want you to get that information directly from us.    
Informative! This newsletter will promote HR-related services and information 
that you need to know. Is your health insurance changing? Are there updates 
about retirement requirements? What’s up with hiring employees? Where can 
you go for HR help? These are questions that we will answer for you. We’ll 
provide information that can inspire your career success! The newsletter 
content will be all about HR, all the time!  
Feedback! We want to hear from you. This newsletter is meant to be a means 
of two-way communication. In each issue you can give us your opinion on 
articles for the future or ask questions about articles you just read.  
No jacket required! The tone of this newsletter will be casual. The articles will be written in a clear, concise, easy 
to read format. And, it will be electronic! You can bookmark it, read it now, read it later, or even print it to take 
home to share with family. 
The newsletter will officially launch in January 2013 and will be published three times a year. The “official” 
newsletter won’t begin until we hear from you so please help plan the articles and information that you want to 
learn more about by reading the newsletter.   GIVE FEEDBACK HERE!
