Ms. Dupes, Since it is a new employee, I would recommend only sending it locally. If this employee has had interaction with the other 11 locations and has already built up a name for himself/herself, I would send it out to all locations. I hope this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

We are a decentralized company with staff in 12 locations across the U.S. and in the U.K. We are debating whether to send a message to the entire company that an employee family member died, or just to local employees. I'd appreciate knowing how your company handles such tragedies? ********************************* Susanne Dupes Corporate Communications Information International Associates 1009 Commerce Park Drive, Suite 150 Oak Ridge, TN 37830 865.298.1244 (voice) 865.481.0390 (fax) [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> www.iiaweb.com <http://www.iiaweb.com/> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PRSATALK is provided by the University of Tennessee Sammie Lynn Puett Chapter of PRSSA for use by the East Tennessee Volunteer Chapter of PRSA and its members. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PRSATALK is provided by the University of Tennessee Sammie Lynn Puett Chapter of PRSSA for use by the East Tennessee Volunteer Chapter of PRSA and its members.
