PDA Event: Motivating & Supporting Employees

In the last two years, libraries have had to evolve with the changing needs of patrons and the challenges brought on by a global pandemic. It has led to upheavals in organizational structures from retirements, resignations, and new hires. Many library workers are being asked to do more with less and take on multiple roles. How do both management and library workers create an environment that supports mental health? 

Sessions:

• "Beyond Bubble Baths: Addressing Burnout and Demotivation", Sarah Steiner, Western Carolina University
• "Supporting Employees During Hard Times Using Emotional Intelligence (EI)", Brandy Hamilton, Wake County Public Library
• "Self-Care 101 for Library Leaders: Managing Stress, Battling Burnout and Vicarious Trauma, and Promoting Mental Health for You and Your Staff", Dawn Behrend, Lenoir-Rhyne University
