We apply a email signature template when new employees join Riverdale. Employees have the option to keep the default OR apply one of their personal choice.

Standardized Email Signatures for all Employees

In recent years, our email signatures have included a variety of logos, colors, content, and fonts. This has resulted in many signatures with outdated branding and inconsistency in our professional emails.

To make it easier for signatures to include current branding, and increase consistency in official emails, we updated all employees' email signatures and create ones that follow this format for new employees.

Here is an example of the new signature style:

• In the new signature, the Riverdale wordmark links to our homepage.
• The phone numbers of employees with numbers assigned in Veracross will be automatically included.
• This signature format allows for some customization, such as the addition of
  • your pronouns,
  • a cell phone number,
  • a “book me” link to a calendaring function.

Since many emails are sent internally to other colleagues or to several of the same contacts, the advice for customization is to “keep it short and simple.” We are asking employees to omit degree information, quotations, and numerous titles.

Here is an example of the new signature with limited customization:
