Description: Today's multigenerational library workforce faces a number of both internal and external challenges. To meet these challenges, we need to learn how to work together effectively, keep connected and current, and draw on individuals' unique strengths. In a graying profession, we also need to pay attention to succession planning, passing on institutional wisdom, and recruiting, retaining, and mentoring the next generation.
Topics include:
- What defines generations and why people tend to resist definition
- How best to recruit, retain, manage, and mentor the next generation emphasizing creating a healthy environment for all library workers
- What different generations can learn from each other, and how to take advantage of multiple strengths
- Ways to be successful in 21st Century libraries
