Human beings are complicated. Your workplace doesn't have to be. One key area that many organizations struggle with is how to manage underperforming employees. This webinar will provide key insights to help you understand how to stop negative employee patterns/cycles, and approach performance issues in a productive and respectful manner. This session is for anyone in a leadership role who is looking to improve their ability to effectively identify and correct core issues with an employee’s performance (before it’s too late and the relationship is damaged beyond repair). This session is not a cure-all, but it will provide you with practical, proven tools to help you frame previously-difficult conversations in a positive and productive manner.

May 5 | 12:00pm - 1:00pm (MT) $32.99 early rate / $41.99 regular rate One of the most difficult and often overlooked aspects of moving into a supervisory or management position is developing the skills necessary to truly manage people. Without intentional training, many new managers are left to figure things out on their own – for better or worse. Like all skills, effective management and supervisory skills must be learned. This workshop presents the crucial skills for managing employment relationships from beginning to end, with particular focus on hiring and performance management. Participants will also consider how their communication and personal approach to management affects the people they lead.

51:06 We know that employees who care about their work will work harder, be more motivated, and be more invested in a positive outcome. But how do we actually get employees to care? Unfortunately, we can’t simply force them to exude loyalty, but we can give them the opportunity to be committed and the support they need to succeed.
In this informative and interactive program, we’ll explore some of the techniques and approaches that organizations use to engage their employees and to build a “we care” culture.

55:36 The array of bothersome behaviors lumped under the label of “passive-aggressive” is easier to describe than define:
- You assign a task, the employee or co-worker agrees, but it never gets done.
- When you ask what’s wrong, they tell you “everything is good” but it’s not, as you learn from third parties.
- You ask for feedback at a meeting. They say nothing when you ask but badmouth you and the project later.
- They seem to have mastered the art of the back-handed compliment, but when asked, they seemed surprised and insist it was meant in a “good” way. (Often will suggest that you shouldn’t be so sensitive.)
The secret to addressing what personnel departments like to call “gray” areas of workplace behavior is twofold: Stop engaging, and stop enabling. At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to: - Ensure goals, priorities, checkpoints, and deadlines are in place to combat procrastination.
- “Call the game” when co-workers try “cold silence” tactics or “hit-and-run” attacks.
- Disengage from the effects of micro-insults and other passive, manipulative behaviors

April 16 | 12:30pm - 1:00pm (MT) At some point in our careers, we have all experienced burn-out, a lack of inspiration and motivation, or even a loss of connection between our work and the organizations we represent. Do you know why? The solution is simple, but it's not always the easiest one to acknowledge, especially when the everyday often gets in the way. With inspiration from the WHY (Golden Circle) principle developed by Simon Sinek, reconnect with your inner WHY-brarian and the spark he/she can ignite for you.

57:30 Play is one of the Early Literacy skills outlined in Every Child Ready to Read. Yet, babies in libraries are often overlooked in play programming, because there has traditionally been a struggle to engage their parents and caregivers enough to merit bringing babies to the library. While baby story times have often been champions of early literacy, they often leave out explorative and sensory play, opting for lap sit activities to contain the chaos.
At Suffolk Public Library, our Busy Babies program has had upwards of 90 people attend to play with their babies in the library, simply by hosting a monthly baby playdate. Join us for this interactive and informative program and discover how easy it is to engage this age group and their caregivers in sensory play, tummy time, and messy free play.
