Email signatures

Staff should use the standard Union email signature on all outgoing emails. Follow Microsoft's instructions to set up an email signature in Outlook.

Copy and paste our template email signature into the Outlook signature settings, and remember to insert your name, pronouns (such as he/him, she/her, they/them, or remove that section if you'd prefer not to share them), and job title. If you have a direct phone line, you can change the 2700 extension to your own.

Some additional information may be required if you work in certain departments regarding specific signposting or confidentiality so feel free to add additional text if it is truly required.
