Core Webinar Helps you Build a Holistic Employee Engagement Framework

This webinar will explore various important aspects of engaging employees. Included will be workforce planning guides; ways to reduce bias and hacking in the job interview; human resources best practices for employee development and onboarding; and holistic talent reviews; and career planning. In addition, participants will participate with polls and brief discussion opportunities throughout the session and will be provided with a handout to help them outline an employee engagement plan for their libraries, regardless of size and type.
