Bringing new staff on board is one of the most important investments your library can make. In this practical one-hour webinar, Dr. Curtis Rogers will guide you through how to build an effective onboarding process that welcomes new employees, integrates them into your library’s culture, and sets them up to thrive.
Whether you’re designing a new onboarding program or strengthening an existing one, you’ll leave with actionable ideas, a sample checklist, and proven strategies to make your library a place where new employees feel supported from day one.
Participants will learn how to:
* Develop an onboarding process that fosters engagement, inclusion, and success.
* Collaborate effectively with human resources and other departments to streamline onboarding.
* Apply key communication and time management strategies during the onboarding period.
* Conduct meaningful follow-up and evaluation to ensure long-term staff satisfaction.
* Use templates and checklists to design or enhance your library’s onboarding program.
This training is only available to staff on the Eastern Shore of MD. Please sign up with your work email address.
