Are you involved with planning and implementing an all-staff event at your
library? Thinking about a staff day and wondering about the next steps? A
staff day may be a regularly scheduled opportunity for team building and
morale boosting or may be a day specifically scheduled because of a building
program, planning process or other shift in strategic directions. 

 

Whatever the goals for the day, it's a day with high expectations that is
often produced on a shoestring budget by those who are not professional
event planners. Planning responsibilities may include finding speakers
(often at low or no cost), arranging a venue, dealing with room setups and
equipment, developing lunch plans, and ultimately creating a valuable
learning experience for library staff. 

 

Those attending the webinar will learn about: 

 

.         A planning process that involves library leadership as well as
employees in all parts of the library 

.         Ideas for creative free or low-cost programs 

.         The importance of "over-communication" and why branding is part of
communication 

.         How to evaluate and document the event to leave a legacy for
future staff day planners 

 

Join presenter Mary Ross - who has planned and implemented numerous
all-staff events, as well as library-related conferences, workshops and
training-as she shares tips, tricks and strategies for success. You'll be
able to tackle the challenges in planning and delivering an all-staff event,
resulting in a day that is valuable to and celebrates the value of all
employees.
