That's also how we do our training here and we did the same when I
worked in the university sector. Linking legal compliance and r/m seems
to concentrate minds wonderfully.

We have recently introduce document standards into our Trust, and it has
been made mandatory that staff attend a FoI/records management
presentation before they get their document standards training. This
has been quite successful, and by putting records management in with FoI
staff do seem to grasp some of the reasons why they should at least
think about managing their records. Feedback from the presentation has
been good so far (I've attached it for your information, please feel
free to use any or all of it)

Dear Panel,
I suppose that everybody involved in Records Management would agree that
making staff aware of what Records Management actually is, is a
difficult task. Most people already know that record keeping is quite
important (broadly speaking), but they do not actually know much (if at
all) about the organising, rationalising and effort that is put into the
subject.
In my opinion staff within organisations should be made aware that
records are as important as the finance, human resources or library
resources of the company and that they are not just a boring,
bureaucratic, grey activity that involves people with little skills and
ambitions. I think there should be a way of advertising/promoting
records within corporate environments. Not in a heavy way (this is not
about a campaign or a fight), but in a light, attractive way, that would
show the benefits of good record keeping as well as the essential role
every member of staff plays in it.
At our organisation we have included two links about records management
(our records policy and some press articles) in internal emails but I do
not think this has been very effective. People tend not to open them.
Hence my question, which I hope does not sound too naive:
Have you ever promoted Records Management within your organisation? If
so, how? What about the outcome? Was it good, positive, or just the
oppositive?
Thanks for your cooperation.
Maria Pereira
Assistant Records Manager
