Core Webinar:

The Search For Meaningful Work: Overcoming Low Morale, Quiet Quitting, &
Dead End Jobs

Date: Tuesday, October 24, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: This presentation centers on creating a meaningful work life
while also exploring how to break free from unfavorable elements. Low
morale, quiet quitting, and dead end jobs refer to the subtle and gradual
disengagement of library workers from their professional roles, often due
to little opportunity for promotion or advancement, inadequate support, a
lack of pay increases, repetitive tasks, low autonomy, and a negative work
culture. There will be a discussion on actionable steps that individuals
and managers can take to create a more inclusive career development
environment. This talk will be based on the presenter's ALA article:
https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2023/06/01/dont-ignore-quiet-quitting/
and https://acrlog.org/2023/05/23/when-librarianship-becomes-a-dead-end-job/

Learning outcomes:

   -

   Understand the concept of creating a meaningful work life and its
   significance in professional well-being.
   -

   Explore the various challenges and dissatisfaction that can contribute
   to the gradual disengagement of library workers from their roles including
   burnout, lack of professional growth opportunities, inadequate support, and
   evolving technological demands.
   -

   enhance job satisfaction, ultimately contributing to a more enriching and

belonging
