I know you will agree that an employee newsletter must have content that employees want to read. I've worked for 18 years focusing on exactly how to create this sort of content. I have a few techniques that work well, but I would like to keep in your mind these words at all times: how, what, who, when, why, where. These words help to generate ideas from any sort of content and avoid plagiarism by delving a bit deeper then the content you are reading, and going to the next dimension of interest for your readers.
Let me hare a couple of examples.
The first is to use a browser like google and type in the search bar three words like this "employees, supervisors, workplace" -- then click "search." You can vary these three words all you want, but consider three juxtaposed words.

Next, click the "news" tab, instead of "web" or "images." Try it. I will wait here..... See, now you golden. Underneath the search, you will news stories containing highly relevant articles related to the content. Do you see any that are unique, of interest to your company or employees?
If you see a story, click on it. Now read it. As you read, look for the missing pieces. There are ideas the author can't explore, but the magic words above will help you. Once you formulate a question, then google that question to help you zero in on what you are going to write about.
I know, this may sound a bit tedious, but it is not too bad, and actually a bit of fun as you take a certain path to your goal rather than hunt all over the internet for content and try to figure out how to author present it.
(If you you fax this page to me you try the newsletter to same time on identify content by subscribing to Frontline Employee.)
I have gone a bit further to offer subscribers an article hotline for FrontLine Employee. Why. Well, I have authored over 4,000 articles to date. And what I love is ideas from other people, as you can imagine!
The best way to produce predictably great content is to hear thoughts about article topics and ideas from subscribers. Employee newsletter articles and ideas are all over the place, but none is as good as what is on employees' minds. This is why I created the FrontLine Employee Newsletter Subscriber Hotline. It's actually a link. No other wellness newsletter has it.
The hotline allows you to easily request article topics and suggest ideas that you want me to consider in future issues. Make these suggestions based on what you are hearing and seeing within the workforce as issues of concern. I can't right about a company-specific matter, but I can write about something that likely affects all workers and their families.
In the future, I am going to create a smart phone app that subscribers can use to engage with employee newsletter articles more effectively. You can use this app on the fly to quickly communicate ideas and article topic suggestions that pop up in your mind. Sound awesome? It will be.
Employees under stress also be able to type into the app what they are facing stress about and pull keyword-link articles instantly to them that help them overcome and better manage the stress.

I author content with or without assistance, but when I hear what people want, it takes top priority. That's why I want to hear from you.
Are you beginning to see how easily FrontLine Employee is a notch above other wellness newsletter tools with its roots in practical experience, educated authors, and licensed professionals with life experience?
Features like the hotline give it a lot of value, help improve its readership, allow it to play a role in reducing risk, and have management decision makers be totally impressed.

Studies have shown that stress, life crises, and negative emotional styles increase risk of acute respiratory infections like colds, flu, and similar conditions. Could stress reduction using mindfulness techniques like meditation along with exercise have a preventive effect? The U.S. National Institutes of Health decided to find out. Nearly 400 study participants completed a stress management training program, and the results were positive. Participants did experience fewer flu, colds, and respiratory infections. The Centers for Disease Control says the best way to prevent flu is to get a flu shot—it’s reportedly 40 to 60 percent effective. Could managing stress with techniques found in this study give you an extra boost of prevention?
