Power of the People: Seeking and leveraging long-term staff insights for organizational effectiveness

Wednesday September 9, 2026 1:45pm - 2:45pm MDT

Tome Raider Breakout Room 1

Through years of service, staff turnover, technological impacts, leadership changes, economic shifts, and other notable events, long term staff accumulate insights and ideas that can benefit organizations. Learn about ways to identify an insightful group of staff, create surveys, organize focus groups, and synthesize and present relevant information to key stakeholders. Garfield County Public Library District used these strategies to collect information and integrate long term staff insights for strategic planning, during a leadership change, and to increase the library trustees' understanding of how to support staff longevity.
