Company Newsletter Examples
Below, I have provided three company newsletter examples so you can see how esthetically pleasing Work Life Excel truly is.
Several
years ago, I started collecting company wellness newsletters in an
effort to create a better looking company newsletter. I experimented
with several different looks to get the final look you see here. My
motivation for creating this new product was based on five things, not
just appearance.
Amount of Content
Employees
love helpful information that will improve communication and give them
tips to solve work-life problems. However, they will not completely read
a 4-page newsletter before putting it down, distracted by other things
going on around them or other concerns in their lives. This behavior
increases the likelihood that the newsletter will not be picked up again
and fully read. It is likely that you see yourself do this with
magazines. You pick it up read an article, flip through the rest and put
it down. Done. So, my goal was to only produce a two page newsletter.
Frequency
Long
ago, I discovered that quarterly newsletters—typically a 4-page
newsletters being given to employees every three months—were frankly,
the wrong way to go. It is simply too infrequent to make an impact on
employees. Don’t they deserve more frequency? Well, the answer is yes,
but as you can see, giving a 4-page monthly newsletter every other month
or every month would be prohibitively expensive and overkill. And the
problem mentioned above would remain.
The company newsletter
examples below will show you how a two-page newsletter can be delivered
monthly, but yes, the option of bimonthly or even quarterly, remains
with WorkLife Excel. Did you know that a monthly 2-page newsletter is
50% more content than a 4-page newsletter given to employees quarterly?
However, at the same time, a 2-pager is more likely to be read
completely!
Relevance to Employees’ Lives
Employees
sure must have information relevant to their lives. I find this content
by using three methods. 1) My 30 years as a licensed clinical social
worker. 2) Feedback from newsletter subscribers and 3) monthly
examination of topical issues and 4) conscious effort to help employers
(not just employees) with articles that focus on productivity and
personal problem employees can resolve that will help an organization’s
bottom line. I also try to delve deeper into topics to find the real
meat of an issue and answers that will help employees
Shortness and Readability of Articles
You
will see in the company newsletter examples below that articles are
short. Almost never do articles go over 240 words and many are as short
as 80 words. It is an art to write with this brevity, and after 11
years, we have figured out how to eliminate the “fluff” and “purple
prose” in articles so employees get the solid information then need.
Articles are also full of tips, how-to’s, and practical guidance
On-time Delivery
Newsletters are always delivered a week early. We have never been late in the 16 years we have published newsletters.
Customization Capability
You
can always get your own look with WorkLife Excel. In the company
newsletter examples below, you will see customized nameplates we have
done for other customers. Applying your logo is easily done as well.
WorkLife
Excel is your answer to great company newsletter and easy,
cost-beneficial intervention strategy for helping your employees stay
happy, healthy, and productive. Download an information package today

Hey, Dan I finally got around to sending out WorkLife Excel newsletter to associates via pdf. I immediately began to get favorable comments. I waited a few days and sent out the tool box by inter department mail and have received numerous positive comments!
