New library workers face the challenge of learning a job as well as integrating into a workplace culture and environment. Part of onboarding is showing how the library as an institution supports and encourages employees, and engaged employees are a significant marker of an organization’s success. How do you ensure each new employee has a consistent and positive experience? Concrete tools and workflows will provide every person involved with a smooth and collaborative outcome.

As a result of this program, participants will:

• Discuss the essential parts of onboarding and how the process interacts with hiring and training
• Explore ways to organize incoming employees’ action items and how to ensure that all employees complete the onboarding process successfully
• Learn how to design a workflow that meets their library’s needs

Who will benefit from this program:

Managers/supervisors; administrative and human resources professionals.
