Story #7 - Communication

Story #7 is a look at SSM communication over the years.

In March of 1972, SSM put out the first edition of the Newsbeat. It was a bi-weekly newsletter intended to communicate with members of the firm about current activities as well as to serve as an information source for employee news and social activities. You can enjoy reading the first edition above.

Internal and external newsletters are riddled with columns from regulatory updates all the way to employee bowling tournaments. A few face lifts here and there have given them a new look, but our value stayed the same: communication is key to our success.

Where are we now?

Our internal communications have never stopped. Although, now they reflect the hybrid work environment we maintain. Our internal communications are a part of our robust digital infrastructure. This means all of our people know everything, all the time, everywhere. And for external communications, we continue to live on the tradition of regular newsletters. Only now- we’ve enhanced our environmental stewardship by sending them straight to your inbox, no paper necessary.

At SSM we’ve always maintained a company-wide commitment to communication. We believe that whether it’s to our employees, or between us and our clients - communication is the foundation for good working relationships, quality teamwork, and project efficiency.
