General Guidelines concerning use
of the Listserv
Purpose and Audience
The TSHHRAE listserv is an electronic discussion list for
those involved in healthcare human resources and education.
It provides for the rapid exchange of information, assistance
and discussion among HR professionals.
Guidelines for Messages
The listserv is for professional interest to healthcare HR
and Education professionals. It is unethical to post questions
concerning salaries of specific positions in the healthcare
field. If you need this type of information, please
contact Werling Associates.
They conduct a wage and benefit survey annually.
Keep in mind that your message will be sent to 200+ busy people!
Individual vs. Public Messages
If you wish to respond to one individual, please put their
email address in the "to" line. If you just hit reply,
your message will go to everyone on the list!
Include your Signature
Write your full name and e-mail address at the bottom of
your posting and include your affiliation, mailing address,
phone, and fax if you're asking readers to send something to you
individually. Some subscribers receive e-mail messages with the
header information stripped away by their local e-mail system
and therefore cannot know the author of a particular posting
unless the sender's name is included in the message text. Make
it easy for people to contact you.
"Thank you" and "me too" messages
Send individual "thank you's" privately; if you've received
the information needed, it's courteous to send a "halt" message
to the list to stop others from continuing to respond to a
request (the person who provides the answer may also indicate
that to the list). Other examples of messages that should be
sent privately are: requests for copies of offered materials,
and "me too" messages (as in, "send me a copy of that, too"),
survey responses, and very specific replies to questions that
are not likely to be of general interest.
Censorship
The TSHHRAE listserv is generally unmoderated; that means
that what members post goes directly to all the other members.
In order to keep the list useful, it is important that only
pertinent messages are posted to the list. If a member
consistently posts inappropriate messages, his or her
subscription to the list may be terminated.
Quality of Communication
Debate about professional matters is welcome. If you
disagree with something posted on the list, you have every right
to voice your objections - but politely. You may also express
your complaints directly to the person responsible.
Advertisement/Announcements
TSHHRAE does not accept advertisements and/or product
announcements from outside publishers, producers of software, or
other vendors or commercial entities, etc. However, many members
of TSHHRAE work in organizations that publish materials;
occasional announcements of new resources from a member's
organization, either print or web-based, are appropriate when
they are related to the interests of the membership.
Announcements of resources or conferences are acceptable as long
as they are relevant to the interests of the TSHHRAE membership.
Try to keep these brief. Questions and discussion initiated by
TSHHRAE members about products or services are appropriate. This
provides a forum for help and recommendations among colleagues
on the list. Announcements or advertisement of available jobs
are not welcome. Please visit the TSHHRAE Career Center if
you are interested in posting or looking for a job.
Mistakes
Everyone makes them. Perfect people are not allowed to subscribe
to TSHHRAE listserv. If you send a message to the list by
mistake, you do not need to send an apology to the whole list
unless the message might be truly offensive or personal.
Assume that your colleagues will delete the unintended message
and overlook your error!
