Dear Colleagues, 

As part of a training exercise, myself and several other colleagues are
putting together a presentation on non-monetary means of improving staff
morale at our library. Due to union issues, neither monetary methods nor
extra time off are options, which fact is causing us to more creatively
shape our research and brainstorming. We’re focusing on a variety of
different fronts, including rewards, recognition, professional development,
social events, and special “perk” programs. 

We’re curious as to what other institutions are doing in these arenas, and
whether they feel their institution’s efforts are successful. If folks on
the list wouldn’t mind taking a few minutes to share—even just a few items
or programs—it would be immensely helpful. As this topic could be construed
as a somewhat political one, feel free to contact me either on or off-list,
or to leave out the name/identifying features of your institution.

Thanks!
