Effective October 7, 2015, the Postal Service™ is pleased to announce a new initiative entitled Your Smart Business Moments™ (YSBMs), which are short reminders covering business objectives, policies, regulations, and laws originating from all parts of the Postal Service that have a bearing on our work every day. YSBMs are a cost-effective and efficient method of training (no cost to managers and supervisors). They will give employees frequent reminders of important rules and business goals that will help the Postal Service decrease expenses, increase revenue, work safely and smartly, and maintain the confidence of the American people.
Managers and supervisors are expected to use one of the two YSBMs of the day in a number of different settings including the following: meetings with more than ten people involving a formal presentation, monthly staff meetings, and live training programs. On the YSBM website, two YSBMs will appear on the calendar each business day in two formats — PowerPoint slides and PDFs.

We must work together to effectively communicate this new initiative using all appropriate communications channels beginning now and throughout the next several months.
