KEEPING MORALE UP WHEN TIMES ARE DOWN

When/Where: Friday, May 7, 2004 from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM at Ohio Valley Area
Libraries (OVAL), 252 W. 13th Street, Wellston, Ohio
{ MAP: www.oval.lib.oh.us/find/ }

Presented by: Russ Crabtree, Engineer and Human Developer, Holy Cow!
Consulting, Columbus

Costs: $25 to OVAL/MOLO/SOLO Members; $50 per person to all others

---Global events are impacting local budgets including state allocations to
library funding. These changes are forcing libraries to adopt a number of
cost saving strategies including cuts in hours, services, resources, and
staff. These changes can have a negative impact on morale that in turn
threatens to further reduce the quality of transactions with customers.
"Keeping Morale Up When Times Are Down" explores the relationship between
morale and productivity, the importance of hiring for morale and downsizing
with morale in mind, keeping focused on the vision especially when times are
tough, why caring for people makes good business sense, and how training can
save you money.
