Levels of Communication

Communication with employees will fall into one of three categories: Priority, Secondary, and General.

• Priority
  Priority communication is meant for all Larimer County employees. The content within priority messages includes necessary information for employees to complete their jobs, as well as utilize programs to enhance their employment and benefits package with Larimer County. Priority communication can include, but is not limited to, county-wide emails, Inside Information, messages from the County Manager, process changes, program announcements, system or emergency alerts, employee surveys, and any information deemed “Priority” by county management. 
   
• Secondary
  Secondary communication will serve one of two purposes. The first can affect all employees but does not require immediacy in reading or responding; and the second, affects a targeted employee demographic such as work location, department, gender or age specific, or roles within the County. Secondary communication can include, but is not limited to, benefit reminders, building alerts, department specific training, targeted emails, employee recognition, and Bulletin Board announcements.
   
• General
  General communication is not related to Larimer County employment, but contains content relevant to the organization and is generally shared with the public as well. General communication can include, but is not limited to, program announcements, event invitations, public information, building closures, community feedback, and program fundraisers.

* Text Alerts are reserved for emergency notifications and building closures.
