I want to create a library where the employees can store books and any new materials (binders, tools, templates, files, etc) created by different people in the company for reference so that every time someone does not have to waste time to create something new and can refer to the materials in the library. I want to build good intellectual capital so that employees dont have to re-invent the wheel and utilize their time efficiently. Can someone please help me with how to start this process in my company’s corporate office? Thanks.

I am drafting our comapny newsletter and am having a bit of a problem. I have to both announce the passing of one employee and introduce her replacement. The layout is such that these items will most likely be right next to each other.

I did not say what position our departed employee held because I don’t want to draw attention to why one of our new employees was hired. Is there some sort of protocol here? This is only the 2nd newsletter we’ve done – and what a crappy thing to have to announce!! Any help would be great. Thanks.
Would it make more sense to not announce the new hires until the next quarter? We’re a very small company, so even with my deletion of the deceased employees position, it will be pretty obvious who her “replacement” is. Is it wise to announce a new hire right away, anyway?
