Staff Forum
A reminder we will be gathering later this month for two sessions of staff forum. We will repeat the same content at each session so we can have as many staff attend as possible. We will be joined by Tracey Robinson from P&C Wellbeing as well as our MLM Project Change Manager, Nicola Adams, from Digital Services.
We will have some group activities, some kai and some time for Q&A. Session information:
-
- Monday 28th August 1-3pm
- Wednesday 30th August 10am-12pm
Digital Information Project Update
The gradual transition from P Drive to One Drive is in progress. We are compiling any issues that arise with this – such as issues with Endnote library when cloud based, and syncing default save locations – and feeding them back to the Change Manager.
There was a recent announcement on the intranet that one remote access method is being retired at the end of this month – however there are other ways to do this and this access method is rarely used. If you access the network drives remotely when working from home and are concerned you may lose access, please get in touch and I can help you troubleshoot. You can read the article here.
Please get in touch if you have any questions or issues – I am happy to jump on teams and give you a quick run through if you feel unfamiliar with the OneDrive Environment.
