About this title

Synopsis

Good workplaces require both autonomy—giving employees a sense of ownership over how and where they work—and collaboration in pursuit of common goals. They see employees for who they are and support them, pay them enough money to live comfortably, and provide the resources, training, and support they need to be successful.

In two parts, Innovative Library Workplaces provides the tools you need to make your workplace a good one for your employees.

Human Resources in Libraries
- Recruiting and Hiring
- Onboarding and Training
- Salary Studies and Unions
Work Culture and Organization
- Employee Morale
- Flexible Work Arrangements
- Strategic Planning and Reorganizing

Though this book took root during the pandemic, it is not of the pandemic: The changes wrought are permanent. Innovative Library Workplaces proposes a way forward after this monumental disruption, recognizing that neither the pandemic nor the work culture prior to it is a good model for what comes next.
