Course Correction: How to Guide Library Employees Back on Track
March 11, 2021
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT

Some people think that the best way to correct library workplace behavior is to wait until someone does something wrong, and then tell the person in front of a crowd how they failed–in detail and going back several decades. A different approach is to create an assignment, that deals with one concrete behavior, which can be measured or observed. It is discussed in private, has specific goals, and set expectations for improved performance without the drama. It helps hold employees accountable while treating them with courtesy and respect.

Topics include the importance of ensuring employees have written guidelines, the value of weekly check-ins, and how to reinforce successful behavior change.
 
Following this webinar, you will know how to:

1. Ensure employees have the information and tools to do their jobs well.
2. Create precise outcomes for an assignment to correct behavior.
3. Stop having “feel-good” conversations that don’t set goals and consequences for behavior change.
