Path Forward Web site presents information on Lab challenges, actions

There is a new Web site for Laboratory workers to read about Interim Director Pete Nanos' initiatives, personnel changes and what's happening during these turbulent and challenging times. Path Forward, is an "aggregate" site with links to myriad information and designed to keep the work force up to date.

Nanos' strong emphasis on communication is underscored with this site. Path Forward includes messages from Nanos to employees and links to the Lab's media theatre to view Nanos' meetings, the news release archive and the Lab's event calendar.

Under "Improving Business Practices: Procurement," employees can choose to read the University of California interim report on procurement-card transactions; information on the new Purchase Card Program; and for managers, the latest on purchasing account information on "My LANL," a portal that is a business-decision tool for managers that provides access to data about their organizations.

"Property Accountability" links to information about the wall-to-wall property inventory; "Organizational Changes" provides employees with a link to memos on management changes, the UC oversight board and UC President Atkinson's reporting relationship memo.

Other links include "What Every Employee Can Do" and "Reports," including the recent report on the roles and responsibilities of group leaders.

The site is updated by Alison Grieggs, Kathryn Norskog and Michelle Gilliam of Communication Arts and Services (IM-1) as new information becomes available.
