New desktop icon offers quick access to helping agencies

A link to the helping agencies has been made available to AEDC personnel on the Arnold AFB homepage in the Employee Resource Guide. The Employee Resource Guide is located under the AEDC Links section of the homepage. But now, instead of opening up their Internet browser and searching for this link, personnel will be able to just click on their desktop’s Helping Agencies Icon.

ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. -- It will now be even easier to gain access to the online directory to all helping agencies available to base personnel.

Under the guidance of the Air Force Materiel Command, Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) leadership has implemented a Helping Agencies Icon on all AEDC personnel's desktops.

The helping agencies are presently made available through the Arnold AFB homepage in the Employee Resource Guide under AEDC Links.

However, with just a click of a mouse, anyone looking for assistance will be taken directly to the directory listing the contact information for all helping agencies. These helping agencies include the Military One Source, Airman and Family Readiness Center, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Health and Wellness Center, Employee Assistance Program, Victim Witness Assistance Program and many more agencies.

By implementing this icon the AEDC community will have quicker access to help when someone is in need. It's been called a "one-stop shop" for finding information on all the helping agencies available.

The Helping Agencies Icons have already been implemented at Edwards AFB and Wright-Patterson AFB.

At AEDC, the icon will be added to all new computers deployed in the future and cannot be removed by the user. Should personnel have questions concerning the placement of the icon, please contact the Arnold Help Desk, 454-4040, option 2.
