staff memos

Internal written updates

Staff memos are written communications circulated within an organization, typically from management to employees or between departments.

They convey policies, announcements, procedural changes, or directives: The staff memo outlined new vacation request procedures.

Memos tend toward formal, impersonal language—the voice of the institution rather than any individual.
