Details
The digital sign network within building operations is part of the UBC-wide network, but it typically contains only Building Operations-specific content. It is typically used to reinforce or expand on other communication tools. Content options include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New/departing staff, promotions, transfers
- Employee recognition: e.g., long service awards, training, graduation
- General announcements
- Pre-announcing new policies or procedures
- Kudos for accomplishments: e.g., our response during a blizzard
- Corporate or social events
- Promotion for United Way or other charitable projects
- Health and wellness information
- Marriage, birth, and death announcements
Content must always reflect public service goals of tolerance and inclusivity and remain apolitical.
The digital sign network in Building Operations is also part of our content generation system. Many of the items included on the screens are included automatically in our weekly email newsletter.
Next steps
Information on digital signage is both brief and short lived. If the information need more depth, use the digital sign as only a reminder and make sure the in-depth information is available though other channels such as email, email newsletter, or crew talks.
