Staff competencies help ensure library staff are personally and professionally successful, equipped with valuable expertise, and empowered to meet the constant changes in today’s world to provide the best service to your community.

This webinar will help you understand the benefits of having staff competences so that you can assess and encourage staff and develop a culture of learning at your library. You will learn to bring clarity, consistency, and transparency to your library’s hiring, professional development, performance evaluations, and retention efforts.

We will examine library competencies models, resources, and methods you can adapt for your own competency-based initiative. We’ll discuss how to set expectations and how to help staff reach their full potential while obtaining staff buy-in to the library’s vision and mission.

  • Utilize staff competencies to create a foundation for excellence in hiring, training, and evaluation;
  • Identify resources, methods, and models for setting expectations and assessing staff skills and knowledge;
  • Encourage motivation so that staff members increase their knowledge and skills, while remaining flexible and adaptable; and
  • Develop staff at the individual and institutional level by creating learning communities.
