If you are part of a large organization, you know how important it is to have a good employee newsletter. Managers and executives need an effective and timely manner of communication in order to keep their employees current with the company (announcements, events, news, success stories, benefits, future plans).

Newsletters are an amazing way to get your message out.  Thanks to content curation, it’s easier than ever to put out a great newsletter without a lot of work.  Content curation is the act of discovering, gathering, and presenting digital content that surrounds specific subject matter.

We’ve put together a great list of resources for anyone interested in building a newsletter for their employees.
