For all libraries, regardless of the number of employees, personnel administration is critical to the success of the institution and the services provided to citizens. Your employees are the first line of service to residents and library users: they put a face on yet another form of local government. Thus, managing employees in a fair and uniform way is critical to their performance and the quality of service they provide. 

Why HR Matters to Libraries

For all libraries, regardless of the number of employees, personnel administration is critical to the success of the institution and the services provided to citizens. Your employees are the first line of service to residents and library users: they put a face on yet another form of local government. Thus, managing employees in a fair and uniform way is critical to their performance and the quality of service they provide. Additionally, how you administer policies applicable to employees directly affects the legal rights all employees have in the workplace. Absent sound personnel policies and practices, both management and legal issues can arise that will jeopardize your ability to serve your citizens. This first webinar in the HR series will cover topics including:

• The authority to manage employees

• A fundamental concept: the myth behind the distinctions between at will and just cause employment

• Discipline and termination

Presented by Helen Lizzie Mills, Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC
