Team Brief and Team Huddles

Team Brief is EFM's monthly newsletter aiming to share as much relevant information as possible to our 700+ department (please note there is no Team Brief in January).

The latest and previous editions of Team Brief are always available from this Google Shared Drive.

Team Huddles Kick Off and Cascade

Since June 2024 Team Brief is first shared at Team Huddles - the monthly get together of our teams.   From April 2025 there is no Team Brief or Huddles in the months we hold Town Hall events.

Team Huddle kicks off on Floor 8 of the Arts Tower, followed immediately by a repeat session at George Porter.  There is a 3rd ACS session which we also endeavour to deliver on the afternoon of the same day.  Anyone from EFM is welcome to attend any of the sessions, or feel free to attend any of the Team Talks taking place if they fit more conveniently with your working schedule that month. Please speak to managers about local arrangements. Managers try to schedule the cascade of Team Huddles as soon as possible following the kick off sessions.  We appreciate this isn't always easy with our team members who work shifts.

The Floor 8 Team Huddles have been added to the EFM Notification of Works Google Calendar.  You can add these appointments to your own work Google Calendar (how to add appointments). 

Please see the Google Slides below for key dates of content deadline for Team Brief, Team Huddles Kick Off and when Team Brief will be emailed out to all of EFM for all of 2025.

Opportunity to ask questions or share information

Team Huddles are an opportunity for anyone to raise any queries or share anything relevant to the others attending the Huddle (whether there is related content in Team Brief or not).
