--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.

Here's what attendees say about this workshop:
"Russ was dynamic!  Great workshop!  Taking a lot of good thoughts back to
work with me!"
Shelen Stevens,  Director, Weston Public Library

"Keeping Morale UP! was just what the staff needed to appreciate another's
viewpoint.  The information on morale was just what they needed to hear."
Marsha Wagner,  Director, Rossford Public Library

"Russ does an excellent job communicating ideas and interacting with his
audience.  He skillfully combines fun with practicality leaving the group
with many raving fans."
Lesley McKinstry,  Director, Baltimore

"It was a great workshop--many of my staff members have made it a point to
say that they really enjoyed the day.  I vote yes for any workshop that can
be fun, yet provide numerous learning opportunities which can be applied at
the workplace.  Keeping Morale UP! fits the tickit!"
Nancy Kelly, Director,  Way Public Library
