Summary

Expanding on the highly effective PLA Results Series, Goodrich and Singer offer PLA colleagues a strategic approach to the human resources (HR) function in the library. The book focuses on a variety of possible projects and how to staff them, allowing each library to decide where and how to focus their attention.
- Align staff resources with what needs to be done
- Identify the right people for the right jobs and develop meaningful job descriptions
- Create a high-performance workforce through performance plans, coaching, and evaluation
- Retain the best and brightest by creating the culture, designing expectations, and building commitment
Packed with practical tools, this hands-on guide includes a familiar case study that illustrates how the information can be applied, along with twelve workforms to help you collect and organize the data you need to make informed HR decisions.
