Human Resources joins other Emory departments to eliminate most printed communications and instead send electronic communiqués. Starting in June, benefits materials are being communicated electronically, including the Annual Enrollment Guide, for a savings of approximately $130,000 a year.
"Our goal is to reduce our print and mail budget by 30 percent this year," says Peter Barnes, vice president of human resources. "It is a trend we are seeing among our peer schools. Technology is now a more acceptable means of communicating this information."
"We've reached a tipping point for departments that want to save natural resources and money," says Ciannat Howett, director of sustainability initiatives. "Materials such as course catalogs are now almost entirely electronic, and today students simply expect this."
