SECC Session: Getting to Happy: Four Morale Boosting Initiatives for Library Staff

Description:

The 2021 Southeast Collaborative Online Conference is a collective effort by the State Library of North Carolina, South Carolina State Library, Georgia Public Library Service, and Library of Virginia to offer innovative and useful online learning experiences for library staff at all levels through a convenient online conference.

Job satisfaction has long been linked to better performance and productivity, and libraries are no exception! In this fast-paced, practical session, participants will learn how to create four morale-boosting initiatives: 1) a staff satisfaction survey, 2) a library school scholarship, 3) staff appreciation awards, and 4) a badging system for staff training. In this session:

  • Participants will learn about the importance of managing staff satisfaction and the impact of morale on performance.
  • Participants will learn practical steps for creating and launching each of the staff satisfaction initiatives discussed.
  • Participants will receive practical tips for building buy-in and securing funding for these types of initiatives.
