ICYMI: Plan Ahead for Moves in EGC, Acoma Campus and 780 Grant
As was shared last week, the Office of Operations is leading the effort to reassign seating for some team members located at the Emily Griffith Campus, Acoma Campus and 780 Grant. Please know that these moves will not impact every central office team member. We are on schedule for the seat moves to take place during the week of July 25-29. For those who will need to move, our plans are to identify, confirm and share details on those final destinations in early July. Moving boxes will be available beginning July 18 at each of our three administrative buildings. 

Please share this information with your teams so they can plan ahead for possible moves. If you or your team have questions, share them here. Answers to questions will be shared in a FAQ on The Commons.
Updates & FYI
New Look and Improved Functionality of DoTS Help Coming June 22
A new look and feel is coming to the DoTS Help Service Desk so all team members can get the assistance they need from DoTS more efficiently and seamlessly. 

Beginning June 22, you'll see and experience:
 
  • Expanded menu options so you can more easily indicate the support you need. 
  • Clearer guidance on the specific information we need at the time of incident submission so we can support you faster. 
  • Even quicker resolutions than you're accustomed to. 
  • Fewer redirects to multiple teams as your incident ticket will go directly to the correct team once it's submitted.
  • Access to track status for your open incident tickets as well as those you submit on behalf of other team members.

All team members can access the new DoTS Help Service Desk on June 22 to check out the new features. Please share this information with your teams and encourage them to continue submitting any incident tickets via DoTS Help.
