Beginning May 16, 2013, Loma Linda University Shared Services (LLUSS) will have its own news site. This new central information portal will serve to facilitate effective two-way communication with the campus community. Many departments have posted news and announcements in On Campus or VIP, and these sites will continue to be utilized. However, USS Connect will facilitate even better communication within Shared Services departments and between the rest of the organization. Additionally, news and announcements from USS Connect will be featured in News of the Week.
“In our vision statement we commit to be customer-driven, to work together to deliver service excellence, to be effective stewards of resources, and to exceed customer expectations,” says Kevin J. Lang, MBA, president & CEO of LLU Shared Services. “Effective and efficient communication is imperative to the achievement of these goals.”
USS Connect will share news and announcements highlighting accomplishments, departmental innovations, need-to-know items, and key performance outcomes that illustrate how USS departments add value to the campus community. An ongoing column featuring individual employees will share stories about living the mission of Loma Linda University Health, “to make man whole.”
As part of the Shared Services commitment to exceed customer expectations, USS Connect will serve as a helpful and relevant information resource for the campus community.
