Learning & Development Monthly Newsletter

I created a monthly newsletter for the Learning and Development (L&D) team at Oneida Nation to help keep staff informed, engaged, and motivated. The process began with identifying the key content areas that would be most valuable to our organization: a comprehensive training calendar, related articles, team spotlights, a message from the L&D Director, and other relevant updates or resources.

To make the newsletter visually engaging and easy to navigate, I focused on a clean and consistent layout. I used sections with clear headings and incorporated the Oneida Nation’s branding, such as colors and logos, to maintain a professional yet approachable design. The training calendar was prominently featured at the beginning, making it easy for readers to see upcoming courses and events at a glance. Articles related to L&D trends, tips, and best practices were included to provide value beyond the standard updates.

The team spotlight section helped highlight individual achievements, initiatives, and contributions, fostering a sense of community and recognition within the department. I also worked closely with the L&D Director to include a personal message each month, offering insights, motivational words, and updates on strategic goals.

To ensure the newsletter was easily accessible, I used a digital format that could be easily shared via email and stored for future reference. By blending informative content with an appealing design, the newsletter has become a key communication tool for the L&D team at Oneida Nation, keeping everyone connected, inspired, and on track with their professional development goals.
