All-Staff Meetings occur virtually on the 2nd Monday of each month from 1pm-2pm. All staff, fellows, volunteers, and temp employees are encouraged to join and will have the event automatically appear in their calendar. During all-staff meeting, we connect with fellow team members and give updates about Center happenings. If you can't make it, please review the follow-up emails that are sent out to all team members and the All-Staff meeting recordings can be found here.
The Center for Mindfulness and Compassion uses Google Workspace for almost all internal communications: CHA Email (through Gmail), Google Meet (internal meetings), Google Drive (for all documents and files), Google Calendar (for scheduling). Please see the Using Google Suite site for more information about resources and support navigating Google Suite.
For communication with all core team members with the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion, we use the listserv called "PSY41H". You will be added to this listserv when you join the team. Emails to the PSY41H listserv usually include all-staff meeting reminders, office-wide logistics, team updates, surveys, etc.
All members of the PSY41H listserv are also automatically added to the PSY1 and PSY2 listservs. These listservs go out to everyone within CHA's Department of Psychiatry. Usually these emails are geared towards hospital providers and staff, but are good to keep an eye on for any important updates.
You will automatically have a personal calendar associated with your @challiance.org Google Account that you can use to manage your schedule. We also have a variety of shared calendars for team collaboration. Below is an overview of some CMC shared calendars that you will be added to when you join. You may also get added to more shared calendars based on the needs of your team as you undergo training. You will have various sharing capabilities for calendars depending upon whether you will need to make changes to events, manage sharing, or just view events. For information about using Google Calendar, please view the CHA Google Calendar Tutorial below.
