SECTION 2. COMMUNICATION

The City of Haverhill provides accessible bulletin board space in each department, where employees can review information, such as meeting notices, job opportunities, and other types of information relative to personnel matters which can also be reviewed on the City website. Also you may consult your department's bulletin board for materials concerning State, Federal, and local laws and regulations.

2.2 Staff Meeting

Department Heads are encouraged to conduct staff meetings on a regular basis (at least once a month), as a means of promoting open communication within their department. This forum will provide an opportunity to address questions and concerns that can be resolved within the Department.

Similarly, staff meetings should be utilized to review departmental objectives, set new directions, and discuss the role each employee can play to achieve departmental goals. Notes of meetings should be kept for review by the Mayor at any time.

The City of Haverhill will publish a periodical newsletter that will cover a variety of topics of interest to all employees. Employees will be profiled regularly in this journal and employment related topics and other informative subjects will be discussed and circulated via this newsletter.
