And the winner is….‘Residences go ‘selfie’ for LSE Vacations campaign’.

Here’s what you said:

• “The selfie posts…were fun”
• “Selfies – Because it shows the people that keep things going.”
• “Selfie pictures – good to put a face to the name

What else you liked and why:

• “Receiving an update on what had been discussed and decided at RMT was very useful”
• “The global corporate challenge because it is very strongly linked to staff wellbeing.”
• “The conversion of offices into bedrooms at Rosebery Hall”

What else you’d like to read about:
Sharing stories at work, including solving problems or funny incidents (Have you heard the one about the rabbit that comes to reception…?)

• Charity events staff are involved in.
• Team updates – to share with colleagues what people in Residential Services are working on.
• Information that reaches beyond our division, and is interesting for staff in other departments.
• And again, more RMT updates.

Frequency of posts
The great majority of you thought that the number posts was ‘just right’ (72%), although one comment said that the posts appeared a bit like a London bus – there’s none for ages and then they all come at once!
– We promise we’ll try to spread the articles out a bit more evenly in the future.

Your famous last words…and our replies

• “On many occasions…too official” – Okay, we’ll work on that one.
  
• “I love it!” – Thank you – we do, too!
  
• “Could have 60 sec interview about people or quiz with prizes.” – Ahh…we like the sound of prizes…
  
• “Not enough contributions from all staff” – Now that should be an easy one to solve, sharpen your pencils, dust off your cameras, and next time there’s something happening at work and you want to share it, pick up your keyboard and send us a few lines. 

We love hearing your stories – keep them coming!  There must be loads of team events going on for the Global Corporate Challenge..?
