Our Intranet - The Source
The Source has been designed to be a tool for staff to enhance their productivity and efficiency, access to important organisation based communications, resources and information and participate in our culture.
The Source Weekly Enews
The Source Weekly News is a weekly employee newsletter that is accessed through the corporate intranet. It contains key information, dates, brief news items and other stories on things that are important to all staff. Source Weekly News contains information vital to your working life and forms one of the primary sources of information that you will need to access regularly.
This is an enews which is sent once a week on a Monday morning and is the best way to communicate with staff at all offices. The deadline for submissions is Thursday 4pm. You submit by following the instructions in the news (or below) and saving the article in the appropriate objective folder.
The Source Daily Alerts
For time sensitive updates you can get an article onto Daily alerts. Email news@cgd.vic.gov.au with your content.
Internal Communications Screens
There are internal communications screens at Dandenong Civic Centre. The screens are located on Level 5 near Media and Communications, near the level 4 lift and in the staff room. These are a great way to communicate key messages to staff. All relevant communications included in the weekly Source enewsletter will automatically be included but if you would like to run a campaign or provide content please speak to the Media and Communications Team.
Other internal communications tools
- Poster holders in tea rooms and lunch room. (please ensure you update all levels)
- Flyers in public spaces (must be approved by Media and Communications)
Place an article in The Source Weekly Enews
The deadline for The Source Weekly Enews articles this week is 4pm, Thursday.
Please remember that you must submit your articles via Objective.
To submit an article for The Source Weekly Enews:
- Go to The Source Weekly News 2023
- Once open, locate the file divider for the edition/date you want your article added to
- Add your article either as an email, Word document, etc to this file divider
- If you are submitting a document that is already saved in Objective, please move the original to The Source News file divider and put an alias in your folder (as your folder may not be available to other staff)
Some important notes
- Please do not put images in the body of the document or email. Please save them in Objective in the same file divider (giving them a detailed name so we know what they are for).
- When submitting an article for The Source Weekly news please do more that just drop a flyer or a random document into Objective. Make sure all of the important information is included and ask yourself "Does this sound interesting? Would I want to read this article? Would it make sense to someone else" If the answer is "no" then you might need to rewrite it!
- If your submission is for Pats on the Back, please provide the full name of the staff member that it relates to. Please also ensure you provide any feedback as text and not as a scanned document, otherwise you will be asked to provide it in text before it is included.
- If you want your article to run for more than one week, please put an alias to the original article in the file divider for each week you would like it to run.
If you do not submit your article this way then it will not be run (with the exception of staff who don't have Objective access).
